Chapter 1  IPv6 RIPng Configuration Commands

1.1  RIPng Configuration Commands

1.1.1  checkzero

Syntax

checkzero

undo checkzero

View

RIPng view

Default Level

2: System level

Parameter

None

Description

Use the checkzero command to enable the zero field check on RIPng packets.

Use the undo checkzero command to disable the zero field check.

The zero field check is enabled by default.

Some fields in RIPng packet headers must be zero. These fields are called zero fields.  You can enable the zero field check on RIPng packet headers. If any such field contains a non-zero value, the RIPng packet will be discarded.

Example

# Disable the zero field check on RIPng packet headers of RIPng 100.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] ripng 100

[Sysname-ripng-100] undo checkzero

1.1.2  debugging ripng

Syntax

debugging ripng process-id [ brief | event | packet | receive | send | timer ]

undo debugging ripng process-id { brief | event | packet | receive | send | timer }

debugging ripng process-id { packet | receive | send } [ interface interface-type interface-number ]

undo debugging ripng process-id { packet | receive | send } [ interface interface-type interface-number ]

View

User view

Default Level

1: Monitor level

Parameter

process-id: RIPng process ID.

brief: Displays brief RIPng debugging information.

event: RIPng event debugging.

packet: RIPng packet debugging.

receive: Debugging of received RIPng packets.

send: Debugging of sent RIPng packets.

timer: RIPng timer debugging.

interface interface-type interface-number: Displays the specified RIPng debugging information of an interface.

Description

Use the debugging ripng command to enable specified RIPng debugging.

Use the undo debugging ripng command to disable specified RIPng debugging.

The keyword interface is usable only when the keyword packet, receive or send is included.

The debugging ripng command with the keyword interface not specified displays the debugging information of RIPng packets sent and received by all interfaces. With the keyword interface included, the command displays the debugging information of RIPng packets sent and received by the interface.

RIPng view

Default Level

2: System level

Parameters

acl6-number: Specifies the number of an ACL to filter outgoing routing information, in the range of 2000 to 3999.

ipv6-prefix ipv6-prefix-name: Specifies the name of an IPv6 prefix list used to filter outgoing routing information.

protocol: Filter routes redistributed from a routing protocol, currently including bgp4+, direct, isisv6, ospfv3, ripng, and static.

Description

Use the filter-policy export command to define an outbound route filtering policy. Only routes passing the filter can be advertised in the update messages.

Use the undo filter-policy export command to disable the filtering.

By default, RIPng does not filter any outbound routing information.

With the protocol argument specified, only routing information redistributed from the specified routing protocol will be filtered. Otherwise, all outgoing routing information will be filtered.

Examples

# Use IPv6 prefix list Filter 2 to filter outgoing RIPng updates.

Default Level

2: System level

Parameters

acl6-number: Specifies the number of an ACL to filter incoming routing information.

ipv6-prefix ipv6-prefix-name: Specifies the name of an IPv6 Prefix list to filter incoming routes.

Description

Use the filter-policy import command to define an inbound route filtering policy. Only routes which match the filtering policy can be received.

Use the undo filter-policy import command to disable incoming route filtering.

By default, RIPng does not filter incoming routing information.

Examples

route-policy route-policy-name: Specifies a routing policy by its name.

allow-ibgp: Optional keyword when the specified protocol is bgp4+. The import-route bgp4+ command redistributes only EBGP routes. The import-route bgp4+ allow-ibgp command redistributes additionally IBGP routes, thus be cautious when using it.

Description

Syntax

ripng split-horizon

undo ripng split-horizon

View

Interface view

Default Level

2: System level

Parameters

None

Description

Use the rip split-horizon command to enable the split horizon function.

Use the undo rip split-horizon command to disable the split horizon function.

By default, the split horizon function is enabled.

Note that:

l           The split horizon function is necessary for preventing routing loops. Therefore, you are not recommended to disable it.

l           In special cases, make sure that it is necessary to disable the split horizon function before doing so.

 

 

Examples

# Enable the split horizon function on Van-interface100.

1.1.20  ripng summary-address

Syntax

ripng summary-address ipv6-address prefix-length

undo ripng summary-address ipv6-address prefix-length

View

Interface view

Default Level

2: System level

Parameters

ipv6-address: IPv6 network address of the summary route.

prefix-length: IPv6 prefix length. It indicates the number of consecutive ones of the prefix, which represents the network ID.

Description

Use the ripng summary-address command to configure a summary advertised through the interface.

Use the undo ripng summary-address command to remove the summary.

If the prefix and the prefix length of a route match the specified IPv6 prefix, the IPv6 prefix will be advertised instead. Thus, one route can be advertised on behalf of many routes. After summarization, the summary route cost is the lowest cost among summarized routes.

Examples

# Assign an IPv6 address with the 64-bit prefix to VLAN-interface 100 and configure a summary with the 35-bit prefix.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 100

[Sysname-Vlan-interface100] ipv6 address 2001:200::3EFF:FE11:6770/64

[Sysname-Vlan-interface100] ripng summary-address 2001:200:: 35

1.1.21  timers

Syntax

timers { garbage-collect garbage-collect-value | suppress suppress-value | timeout timeout-value | update update-value }*

undo timers { garbage-collect | suppress | timeout | update }*

View

RIPng view

Default Level

2: System level

Parameters

garbage-collect-value: Interval of the garbage-collect timer in seconds.

suppress-value: Interval of the suppress timer in seconds.

timeout-value: Interval  of the timeout timer in seconds.

update-value: Interval of the update timer in seconds.

Description

Use the timers command to configure RIPng timers.

Use the undo timers command to restore the default.

By default, the garbage-collect timer is 120 seconds, the suppress timer 120 seconds, the timeout timer 180 seconds, and the update timer 30 seconds.

RIPng is controlled by the above four timers.

l           The update timer defines the interval between update messages.

l           The timeout timer defines the route aging time. If no update message related to a route is received within the aging time, the metric of the route is set to 16 in the routing table.

l           The suppress timer defines how long a RIPng route stays in the suppressed state. When the metric of a route is 16, the route enters the suppressed state. In the suppressed state, only routes which come from the same neighbor and whose metric is less than 16 will be received by the device to replace unreachable routes.

l           The garbage-collect timer defines the interval from when the metric of a route becomes 16 to when it is deleted from the routing table. During the garbage-collect timer length, RIPng advertises the route with the routing metric set to 16. If no update message is announced for that route before the garbage-collect timer expires, the route will completely be deleted from the routing table.

Note that:

l           You are not recommended to change the default values of these timers under normal circumstances.

l           The lengths of these timers must be kept consistent on all devices and access servers in the network

Examples

# Configure the update, timeout, suppress, and garbage-collect timers as 5 seconds, 15 seconds, 15 seconds and 30 seconds.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] ripng 100

[Sysname-ripng-100] timers update 5
