Configuring an IPv6 RIPng interface

Configure RIPng parameters on an interface so you can control RIPng behavior on the interface.

About this task

RIPng does not operate on an interface until you enable it globally and on the interface.

You can also configure an IPv6 RIPng interface for a brouter port by selecting Device Physical View , selecting a port, and following the Edit > Port > IPv6 navigation path. You can configure an IPv6 RIPng interface for a VLAN through the VLAN > VLANs > Basic > IPv6 navigation path. This procedure uses the main IPv6 RIPng navigation path where you can create both types of interfaces.

Before you begin

Configure a routing interface (either a brouter port or a virtual routing interface).
Assign an IP address to the interface.
Enable RIPng globally.

Procedure

In the navigation tree, expand the following folders: Configuration > IPv6.
Click IPv6 RIPng.
Click the Interfaces tab.
Click Insert.
In the IfIndex box, type a value to identify the IPv6 interface.
In the RipAdminStatus option box, select enable.
Configure other parameters as required.
Click Insert.
