Basic RIPng configuration example

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 96, Switch A, Switch B, and Switch C run RIPng. Configure Switch B to filter the route 2::/64 learned from Switch A and to forward only the route 4::/64 to Switch A.

Configuration procedure

  1. Configure IPv6 addresses for interfaces. (Details not shown.)

  2. Configure basic RIPng:

    # Configure Switch A.

    <SwitchA> system-view
    [SwitchA] ripng 1
    [SwitchA-ripng-1] quit
    [SwitchA] interface vlan-interface 100
    [SwitchA-Vlan-interface100] ripng 1 enable
    [SwitchA-Vlan-interface100] quit
    [SwitchA] interface vlan-interface 400
    [SwitchA-Vlan-interface400] ripng 1 enable
    [SwitchA-Vlan-interface400] quit
    

    # Configure Switch B.

    <SwitchA> system-view
    [SwitchA] ripng 1
    [SwitchA-ripng-1] quit
    [SwitchA] interface vlan-interface 100
    [SwitchA-Vlan-interface100] ripng 1 enable
    [SwitchA-Vlan-interface100] quit
    [SwitchA] interface vlan-interface 400
    [SwitchA-Vlan-interface400] ripng 1 enable
    [SwitchA-Vlan-interface400] quit
    

    # Configure Switch C.

    <SwitchC> system-view
    [SwitchC] ripng 1
    [SwitchC-ripng-1] quit
    [SwitchC] interface vlan-interface 200
    [SwitchC-Vlan-interface200] ripng 1 enable
    [SwitchC-Vlan-interface200] quit
    [SwitchC] interface vlan-interface 500
    [SwitchC-Vlan-interface500] ripng 1 enable
    [SwitchC-Vlan-interface500] quit
    [SwitchC] interface vlan-interface 600
    [SwitchC-Vlan-interface600] ripng 1 enable
    [SwitchC-Vlan-interface600] quit
    

    # Display the RIPng routing table on Switch B.

    [SwitchB] display ripng 1 route
       Route Flags: A - Aging, S - Suppressed, G - Garbage-collect, D – Direct

  3. Configure route filtering:

    # Use IPv6 prefix lists on Switch B to filter received and redistributed routes.

    [SwitchB] ipv6 prefix-list aaa permit 4:: 64
    [SwitchB] ipv6 prefix-list bbb deny 2:: 64
    [SwitchB] ipv6 prefix-list bbb permit :: 0 less-equal 128
    [SwitchB] ripng 1
    [SwitchB-ripng-1] filter-policy prefix-list aaa export
    [SwitchB-ripng-1] filter-policy prefix-list bbb import
    [SwitchB-ripng-1] quit
    

    # Display RIPng routing tables on Switch B and Switch A.

    [SwitchB] display ripng 1 route
       Route Flags: A - Aging, S - Suppressed, G - Garbage-collect, D – Direct
                    O - Optimal, F - Flush to RIB
