Configuring RIPng timers

You can adjust RIPng timers to optimize the performance of the RIPng network.

When you adjust RIPng timers, consider the network performance, and perform unified configurations on routers running RIPng to avoid unnecessary network traffic or route oscillation.

To configure RIPng timers:
