Here are some final thoughts about RIPng that are important: RIPng process names do not need to match between routers.To configure an EUI-64 unicast address on a router interface, execute the command "ipv6 address 2001:db8:c18:2::/64 eui-64" command, where the network ID may vary, and the lower order of 64 bits is populated by the local … Continue reading 2.5 Challenge →

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, … Continue reading 2.4 Investigating the RIPng Database →

Here is some basic syntax to remember regarding RIPng configuration, with some comments in parentheses. ipv6 unicast routing (enables IPv6 on the device) ipv6 router rip <name> (enables RIP on the device) ipv6 rip <name> enable (applies the RIP named process to an interface) show ipv6 interface brief (like the IPv4 command) show ipv6 protocols … Continue reading 2.3 Configuring RIPng →

RIPv1 was released in the 1980s, and featured classful addressing, routing updates by broadcast, and lack of security. These shortcomings were addressed by RIPv2, which provided classless addressing, multicast updates at 224.0.0.9, and routing protocol authentication. RIPng was created for IPv6 and has much in common with RIPv2. It is, however, not backwards compatible with … Continue reading 2.2 RIP Overview →
