Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring RIPng route attributes, complete the following tasks:
l Configuring IPv6 addresses for interfaces to ensure that neighboring nodes are reachable
at the network layer
l 2.3 Configuring Basic RIP Functions
Data Preparation
To configure RIPng route attributes, you need the following data.
No. Data
1 Additional metric of the interface
2 RIPng preference
3 Maximum number of equal-cost routes
3.4.2 Configuring the RIPng Preference
When there are routes discovered by multiple routing protocols on the same router, you can
make the router prefer RIPng routes by setting the RIPng preference.
Context
Each routing protocol has its preference, according to which a routing policy selects the optimal
route. The RIPng preference can be set manually. The greater the value is, the lower the
preference is.
Do as follows on the RIPng switch:
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
ripng [ process-id ]
The RIPng process is enabled and the RIPng view is displayed.
Step 3 Run:
preference { preference | route-policy route-policy-name } *
The RIPng preference is set.
----End
3.4.3 Configuring Additional Metrics of an Interface
You can set additional metrics for received and sent RIPng routes by using different commands.
