Configure the basic RIPng.

Configuring RIPng timers

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

performance, make RIPng timers of RIPng routers identical to each other to avoid unnecessary traffic or
route oscillation.
To configure RIPng timers:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter RIPng view.

ripng [ process-id ]

N/A

3.

Configure RIPng
timers.

timers { garbage-collect
garbage-collect-value | suppress

suppress-value | timeout

timeout-value | update
update-value
} *

Optional.
The RIPng timers have the following defaults:

Update timer—30 seconds.

Timeout timer—180 seconds.

Suppress timer—120 seconds.

Garbage-collect timer—120 seconds.

Configuring split horizon and poison reverse

If both split horizon and poison reverse are configured, only the poison reverse function takes effect.

Configuring split horizon

The split horizon function disables a route learned from an interface from being advertised through the

same interface to prevent routing loops between neighbors. H3C recommends enabling split horizon to

prevent routing loops.
In frame relay, X.25 and other non-broadcast multi-access (NBMA) networks, split horizon should be
disabled if multiple VCs are configured on the primary interface and secondary interfaces to ensure

route advertisement. For more information, see Layer 2—WAN Configuration Guide.
To configure split horizon:

3.

Enable the split horizon
function.

ripng split-horizon

Optional.
Enabled by default.

Configuring poison reverse

The poison reverse function enables a route learned from an interface to be advertised through the

interface. However, the metric of the route is set to 16, which means the route is unreachable.
