Configuring RIPng

NOTE:

The term "router" in this chapter refers to both routers and Layer 3 firewalls.

The RIPng configuration is available only at the CLI.

Introduction to RIPng

RIP next generation (RIPng) is an extension of RIP-2 for IPv4. Most RIP concepts are applicable in RIPng.
RIPng for IPv6 has the following basic differences from RIP:

UDP port number—RIPng uses UDP port 521 for sending and receiving routing information.

Multicast address—RIPng uses FF02::9 as the link-local-router multicast address.

Destination Prefix—128-bit destination address prefix.

Next hop—128-bit IPv6 address.

Source address—RIPng uses FE80::/10 as the link-local source address.
