Configuring IPv6 RIP

May 2, 2023

Contributed by:

IPv6 Routing Information Protocol (RIP) or RIPng is a Distance Vector protocol. This protocol is an extension of RIP to support IPv6. After enabling IPv6 RIP, you need to configure advertisement of IPv6 RIP routes. For troubleshooting, you can limit IPv6 RIP propagation. You can display IPv6 RIP settings to verify the configuration.

Prerequisites for IPv6 RIP

Before you begin configuring IPv6 RIP, do the following:

Make sure that you understand the IPv6 RIP protocol.
Install the IPv6PT license on the NetScaler appliance.
Enable the IPv6 feature.

Advertising IPv6 RIP Routes

IPv6 RIP enables an upstream router to load balance traffic between two identical vservers hosted on two standalone NetScaler devices. Route advertisement enables an upstream router to track network entities located behind the NetScaler.

To configure IPv6 RIP to advertise IPv6 routes by using the VTYSH command line:

At the command prompt, type the following commands, in the order shown:

Command	Specifies
VTYSH	Display VTYSH command prompt.
configure terminal	Enter global configuration mode.
router ipv6 rip	Start IPv6 RIP routing process and enter configuration mode for the routing process.
redistribute static	Redistribute static routes.
redistribute kernel	Redistribute kernel routes.

Example:

>VTYSH
NS# configure terminal
NS(config)# router ipv6 rip
NS(config-router)# redistribute static
NS(config-router)# redistribute kernel

Limiting IPv6 RIP Propagations

If you need to troubleshoot your configuration, you can configure the listen-only mode on any given interface.

To limit IPv6 RIP propagation by using the VTYSH command line:

At the command prompt, type the following commands, in the order shown:

Command	Specifies
VTYSH	Display VTYSH command prompt.
configure terminal	Enter global configuration mode.
router ipv6 rip	Start IPv6 RIP routing process and enter configuration mode for the routing process.
passive-interface < vlan_name>	Suppress routing updates on interfaces bound to the specified VLAN.

Example:

>VTYSH
NS# configure terminal
NS(config)# router ipv6 rip
NS(config-router)# passive-interface VLAN0

Verifying the IPv6 RIP Configuration

You can use VTYSH to display the IPv6 RIP routing table and IPv6 RIP information for a specified VLAN.

To view the IPv6 RIP settings by using the VTYSH command line:

At the command prompt, type the following commands, in the order shown:

Commands	Specifies
VTYSH	Display VTYSH command prompt.
sh ipv6 rip	Display updated IPv6 RIP routing table.
sh ipv6 rip interface	Display IPv6 RIP information for the specified VLAN.

Example:

NS# VTYSH
NS# sh ipv6 rip
NS# sh ipv6 rip interface VLAN0
