Ripng Configuration Task List - Edge-Core ES4626 User Manual

The operation of RIP protocol is shown below:
Enable RIPng The switch sends request packets to the neighbor layer3 switches by
broadcasting; on receiving the request, the neighbor devices reply with the packets
containing their local routing information.
The Layer3 switch modifies its local route table on receiving the reply packets and sends
triggered update packets to the neighbor devices to advertise route update information.
On receiving the triggered update package, the neighbor lay3 switches send triggered
update packages to their neighbor lay3 switches. After a sequence of triggered update
package broadcast, all layer3 switches get and maintain the latest route information.
In addition, RIPng layer3 switches will advertise its local route table to their neighbor
devices every 30 seconds. On receiving the packets, neighbor devices maintain their
local route table, select the best route and advertise the updated information to their own
neighbor devices, so that the updated routes are globally valid. Moreover, RIP uses a
timeout mechanism for outdated route, that is, if a switch does not receive regular update
packets from a neighbor within a certain interval (invalid timer interval), it considers the
route from that neighbor invalid, after holding the route fro a certain interval (garbage
collect timer interval), it will delete that route.
As a result of continuous development of IPv6 network, it has the network
environment of nonsupport IPv6 sometimes, so it needs to do the IPv6 operation by
tunnel. Therefore, our RIPng supports configuration on configure tunnel, and passes
through nonsupport IPv6 network by unicast packet of IPv4 encapsulation.
