Running troubleshooting commands for RIPv2 versus RIPng is typically characterized by using the keyword “ip” versus “ipv6,” respectively, as in “show ipv6 protocols.”
Here are the most common commands and their uses:
- show ipv6 rip – Details about the RIPng process, including port number, multicast group address, process ID, administrative distance, maximum paths, update timer, rip enabled interfaces, etc.
- show ipv6 rip database – Shows the process name, route prefixes in the RIB, metrics associated with the prefixes, outgoing interface w/ Link-local address, and dead timer status (whereby a prefix moves from installed to expired if exhausted).
- show ipv6 rip next-hops – Provides a condensed view of the RIPng RIB, showing the outgoing interface and timer statistics.
- show ipv6 route – shows the ipv6 routing table, similar to the ipv4 routing table you’d see via a “show ip route” command.
- show ipv6 protocols – shows the names of the ipv6 routing processes and types, interfaces participating in each ipv6 process, and redistribution parameters.
- show ipv6 interface brief – shows interface status with configured ipv6 unicast addressing and link-local addressing, per interface.
