CCNP Route 300-101 – RIPng

by Samuel Mitchell, posted in Cisco, Routing & Switching

RIPng (RIP next generation) is the routing protocol RIP version for IPv6.

  • Default hello messages timer: 30 seconds
  • Default dead timer: 180 seconds
  • Multicast address: FF02::9
  • Communication Protocol: UDP 521
  • Administrative distance of 120
  • RIP name is not required to be the same with the neighbors.

Configure RIPng on a Router:

  1. Enable IPv6 routing in the global mode

ipv6 unicast-routing

2. Configure RIPng

IPv6 router rip [NAME]

3. Configure interface for IPv6

ipv6 address X:X:X:X::/64 [eui-64]

or

ipv6 enable 

4. Configure interface for RIPng

ipv6 rip [NAME[ enable

output for command: show ipv6 route rip
