Brocade FastIron Ethernet Switch Layer 3 Routing Configuration Guide - Manual (Page 234)

NOTE
Brocade IPv6 devices support up to 10,000 RIPng routes. ICX 6650 IPv6 devices support up to 2000
RIPng routes.
Configuring RIPng
To configure RIPng, you must enable RIPng globally on the Brocade device and on individual device
interfaces. The following configuration tasks are optional:
• Change the default settings of RIPng timers
• Configure how the Brocade device learns and advertises routes
• Configure which routes are redistributed into RIPng from other sources
• Configure how the Brocade device distributes routes through RIPng
• Configure poison reverse parameters
Enabling RIPng
Before configuring the device to run RIPng, you must do the following:
• Enable the forwarding of IPv6 traffic on the device using the ipv6 unicast-routing command.
• Enable IPv6 on each interface over which you plan to enable RIPng. You enable IPv6 on an
interface by configuring an IPv6 address or explicitly enabling IPv6 on that interface.
By default, RIPng is disabled. To enable RIPng, you must enable it globally on the Brocade device and
also on individual device interfaces.
NOTE
Enabling RIPng globally on the Brocade device does not enable it on individual device interfaces.
To enable RIPng globally, enter the following command.
device(config-rip-router)#ipv6 router rip
device(config-ripng-router)#
After you enter this command, the device enters the RIPng configuration level, where you can access
several commands that allow you to configure RIPng.
Syntax: [no] ipv6 router rip
To disable RIPng globally, use the no form of this command.
After enabling RIPng globally, you must enable it on individual Brocade device interfaces. You can
enable it on physical as well as virtual routing interfaces. For example, to enable RIPng on Ethernet
interface 3/1, enter the following commands.
device(config)# interface ethernet 3/1
device(config-if-e100-3/1)# ipv6 rip enable
Syntax: [no] ipv6 rip enable
To disable RIPng on an individual device interface, use the no form of this command.
