Configuring RIPng on an interface

Configure RIPng on Ethernet ports and VLANs so that they can participate in RIPng routing.

About this task

RIPng does not operate on a port or VLAN until you enable it both globally and on the port or VLAN.

Before you begin

Assign an IP address to the port or VLAN.
Configure RIPng and enable it globally.

Procedure

Enter Interface Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal

interface GigabitEthernet {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]} or interface vlan <1–4059>

Note

If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.
Create a RIPng interface:

ipv6 rip
Enable the RIPng interface:

ipv6 rip enable
Verify the operational status of the RIPng interface:

show ipv6 rip interface

Example

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch:1(config)#interface vlan 22
Switch:1(config-if)#ipv6 rip
Switch:1(config-if)#ipv6 rip enable
Switch:1(config-if)#show ipv6 rip interface

Total RIPng interfaces: 2

Variable Definitions

The following table defines parameters for the ipv6 rip command.


Variable	Value
`<1-4059>`	Specifies the VLAN ID in the range of 1 to 4059. By default, VLAN IDs 1 to 4059 are configurable and the system reserves VLAN IDs 4060 to 4094 for internal use. On switches that support the vrf-scaling and spbm-config-mode boot configuration flags, if you enable these flags, the system also reserves VLAN IDs 3500 to 3998. VLAN ID 1 is the default VLAN and you cannot create or delete VLAN ID 1. This variable applies only to VLAN interfaces, not ports.
{slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]}	Identifies the slot and port in one of the following formats: a single slot and port (slot/port), a range of slots and ports (slot/port-slot/port), or a series of slots and ports (slot/port,slot/port,slot/port). If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.
