Configuring Routing (RIPng)
RIP Next Generation (RIPng) is a routing protocol based on the distance vector
(D-V) algorithm. RIPng uses UDP packets to exchange routing information through
port 521.
RIPng uses a hop count to measure the distance to a destination. The hop count is
referred to as metric, or cost. The hop count from a router to a directly-connected
network is 0. The hop count between two directly-connected routers is 1. When
the hop count is greater than or equal to 16, the destination network or host is
unreachable.
By default, the routing update is sent every 30 seconds. If the router receives no
routing updates from a neighbor after 180 seconds, the routes learned from the
neighbor are considered as unreachable. After another 240 seconds, if no routing
update is received, the router removes these routes from the routing table.
Enter the number of prefix bits in the IPv6 address that
define the destination subnet.
Enter the IPv6 address of the gateway through which
the destination host or network can be reached.
Choose the interface for the route from the
drop-down menu: LAN, WAN, or 6to4.
Enter the priority of the route by choosing a value
between 2 and 15. If multiple routes to the same desti-
nation exist, the route with the lowest metric is used.
Check to make the route active.
When you add a route in an inactive state, it gets listed
in the routing table, but is not used by the CVR100W.
You can always activate the route later.
This feature is useful if the network that the route con-
nects to is not available when you added the route.
When the network becomes available, you can enable
the route.
