Chapter 37 Configuring IPv6 Unicast Routing
Configuring IPv6
To disable a RIP routing process, use the no ipv6 router rip name global configuration command. To
disable the RIP routing process for an interface, use the no ipv6 rip name interface configuration
command.
This example shows how to enable the RIP routing process cisco with a maximum of eight equal-cost
routes and to enable it on an interface:
Switch(config)# ipv6 router rip cisco
Switch(config-router)# maximum-paths 8
Switch(config)# exit
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet2/0/11
Switch(config-if)# ipv6 rip cisco enable
For more information about configuring RIP routing for IPv6, see the “Implementing RIP for IPv6”
chapter in the Cisco IOS IPv6 Configuration Library on Cisco.com
Configuring OSPF for IPv6
You can customize OSPF for IPv6 for your network. However, the defaults for OSPF in IPv6 are set to
meet the requirements of most customers and features.
Follow these guidelines:
The switch must be running the IP services image.
Be careful when changing the defaults for IPv6 commands. Changing the defaults might adversely
affect OSPF for the IPv6 network.
Before you enable IPv6 OSPF on an interface, you must enable routing by using the ip routing
global configuration command, enable the forwarding of IPv6 packets by using the ipv6
unicast-routing global configuration command, and enable IPv6 on Layer 3 interfaces on which
you are enabling IPv6 OSPF.
Step 7 ipv6 rip name default-information {only |
originate}
(Optional) Originate the IPv6 default route (::/0) into the RIP
routing process updates sent from the specified interface.
Note To avoid routing loops after the IPv6 default route (::/0)
is originated from any interface, the routing process
ignores all default routes received on any interface.
only—Select to originate the default route, but suppress all
other routes in the updates sent on this interface.
originate—Select to originate the default route in addition
to all other routes in the updates sent on this interface.
Step 8 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 9 show ipv6 rip [name] [interface interface-id]
[database] [next-hops]
or
show ipv6 route rip [updated]
Display information about IPv6 RIP processes.
Display the contents of the IPv6 routing table.
Step 10 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
