Static routes are manually configured. They
work well in simple networks. Configuring and using them properly can improve the
performance of networks and guarantee enough bandwidth for important
applications.
However, static routes also have
shortcomings: any topology changes could result in unavailable routes,
requiring the network administrator to manually configure and modify the static
routes.

configuration
With IPv6 static routes configured, all
hosts and switches can communicate with each other.

When configuring a static route, you can
specify the output interface. If the output interface is a VLAN interface, the
next hop address must be specified.
RIP next generation (RIPng) is an extension
of RIP-2 for IPv4. Most RIP concepts are applicable in RIPng.
RIPng for IPv6 made the following changes
to RIP:
l
UDP port number: RIPng uses UDP port 521 for
sending and receiving routing information.
l
Multicast address: RIPng uses FF02:9 as the
link-local multicast address.
l
Destination Prefix: 128-bit destination address
prefix.
l
Next hop: 128-bit IPv6 address.
l
Source address: RIPng uses FE80::/10 as the
link-local source address
Figure
1-2 Network diagram for RIPng configuration
As shown in the figure above, all switches
run RIPng. Configure Switch B to filter the route (3::/64) learned from Switch
C so that the route will not be added to the routing table of Switch B and
Switch B will not forward it to Switch A.

Figure 1-3 Network diagram for RIPng
route redistribution
As shown in Figure 1-3, two RIPng processes are
running on Switch B, which communicates with Switch A through RIPng 100 and
with Switch C through RIPng 200.
Configure route redistribution on Switch B,
letting the two RIPng processes redistribute routes from each other. Set the
default cost of redistributed routes from RIPng 200 to 3.
