Configuring RIPng globally

Configure RIPng global parameters on the switch so you can control RIPng behavior on the system.

About this task

All router interfaces that use RIPng use the RIPng global parameters. Both brouter ports and VLAN virtual routing interfaces use the same RIPng global parameters.

You can configure RIPng on interfaces while RIPng is globally disabled. This way, you can configure all interfaces before you enable RIPng for the switch

  2. Click IPv6 RIPng.
  3. Click the Globals tab.
  4. Select the enable option button.
  5. Configure other global RIPng parameters as required.
