MRS V3.3 Protocol Config Ref Vol 2

Configuring and Monitoring Routing Information Protocol (RIP6)

RIP6 is a distance vector routing protocol. Configuration for RIP6 is done for each interface. This chapter describes how to use the RIP6 configuration and operating commands and includes the following sections:

• "Accessing the RIP6 Configuration Environment"
• "RIP6 Configuration Commands"
• "Accessing the RIP6 Monitoring Environment"
• "RIP6 Monitoring Commands"

Accessing the RIP6 Configuration Environment

Use the following procedure to access the RIP6 configuration process.

1. At the OPCON prompt, enter talk 6. (For more detail on this command, refer to "The OPCON Process and Commands" in Software User's Guide.) For example:

       * talk 6
       Config>
    
   

   After you enter the talk 6 command, the CONFIG prompt (Config>) displays on the terminal. If the prompt does not appear when you first enter configuration, press Return again.

2. At the CONFIG prompt, enter the p rip6 command to get to the RIP66 Config> prompt.

RIP6 Configuration Commands

To configure RIP6, enter the commands at the RIP66 Config> prompt.

Accessing the RIP6 Monitoring Environment

Use the following procedure to access the RIP6 monitoring commands. This process gives you access to the RIP6 monitoring process.

1. At the OPCON prompt, enter talk 5. (For more detail on this command, refer to "The OPCON Process" in Software User's Guide.) For example:

       * talk 5
       +
   

   After you enter the talk 5 command, the GWCON prompt (+) displays on the terminal. If the prompt does not appear when you first enter configuration, press Return again.

2. At the + prompt, enter the p rip6 command to get you to the RIP6> prompt.

   Example:

       + p rip6
       RIP6>
