Chapter 39 Configuring IPv6 Unicast Routing

Configuring IPv6

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these required and optional steps to configure IPv6 RIP:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

 

 

ipv6 router rip name

Configure an IPv6 RIP routing process, and enter router

 

 

configuration mode for the process.

Step 3

 

 

maximum-paths number-paths

(Optional) Define the maximum number of equal-cost routes

 

 

that IPv6 RIP can support. The range is from 1 to 64, and the

 

 

default is four paths.

Step 4

 

 

exit

Return to global configuration mode.

Step 5

 

 

interface interface-id

Enter interface configuration mode, and specify the Layer 3

 

 

interface to configure.

Step 6

 

 

ipv6 rip name enable

Enable the specified IPv6 RIP routing process on the interface.

Step 7

 

 

ipv6 rip name default-information {only

(Optional) Originate the IPv6 default route (::/0) into the RIP

 

originate}

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]

Display information about current IPv6 RIP processes.

 

[database] [next-hops]

 

 

or

 

 

show ipv6 route rip [updated]

Display the current contents of the IPv6 routing table.

Step 10

 

 

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

 

 

 

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 enable it on an interface:

Switch(config)# ipv6 router rip cisco Switch(config-router)# maximum-paths 8 Switch(config)# exit

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet2/0/11

Switch(config-if)#ipv6 rip cisco enable
