Implementing RIP for IPv6

First Published: June 7, 2001
Last Updated: May 1, 2006

This module describes how to configure Routing Information Protocol for IPv6. RIP is a distance-vector routing protocol that uses hop count as a routing metric. RIP is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) most commonly used in smaller networks.

Information About Implementing RIP for IPv6

To configure IPv6 RIP, you need to understand the following concept:

•RIP for IPv6

RIP for IPv6

IPv6 RIP functions the same and offers the same benefits as RIP in IPv4. RIP enhancements for IPv6, detailed in RFC 2080, include support for IPv6 addresses and prefixes, and the use of the all-RIP-routers multicast group address FF02::9 as the destination address for RIP update messages. New commands specific to RIP in IPv6 were also added to the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI).

In the Cisco IOS software implementation of IPv6 RIP each IPv6 RIP process maintains a local routing table, referred to as a Routing Information Database (RIB). The IPv6 RIP RIB contains a set of best-cost IPv6 RIP routes learned from all its neighboring networking devices. If IPv6 RIP learns the same route from two different neighbors, but with different costs, it will store only the lowest cost route in the local RIB. The RIB also stores any expired routes that the RIP process is advertising to its neighbors running RIP. IPv6 RIP will try to insert every non-expired route from its local RIB into the master IPv6 RIB. If the same route has been learned from a different routing protocol with a better administrative distance than IPv6 RIP, the RIP route will not be added to the IPv6 RIB but the RIP route will still exist in the IPv6 RIP RIB.

How to Implement RIP for IPv6

When configuring supported routing protocols in IPv6, you must create the routing process, enable the routing process on interfaces, and customize the routing protocol for your particular network.

Note The following sections describe the configuration tasks for creating an IPv6 RIP routing process and enabling the routing process on interfaces. The following sections do not provide in-depth information on customizing RIP because the protocol functions the same in IPv6 as it does in IPv4. Refer to the publications referenced in the "Related Documents" section for further IPv6 and IPv4 configuration and command reference information.

The tasks in the following sections explain how to configure IPv6 RIP. Each task in the list is identified as either required or optional:

This section contains the following procedures:

•Enabling IPv6 RIP (required)

•Customizing IPv6 RIP (optional)

•Redistributing Routes into an IPv6 RIP Routing Process (optional)

•Configuring Tags for RIP Routes (optional)

•Filtering IPv6 RIP Routing Updates (optional)

•Verifying IPv6 RIP Configuration and Operation (optional)

Enabling IPv6 RIP

This task explains how to create an IPv6 RIP process and enable the specified IPv6 RIP process on an interface.

Prerequisites

Before configuring the router to run IPv6 RIP, globally enable IPv6 using the ipv6 unicast-routing global configuration command, and enable IPv6 on any interfaces on which IPv6 RIP is to be enabled. For details on basic IPv6 connectivity tasks, refer to the Implementing Basic Connectivity for IPv6 module.

Customizing IPv6 RIP

This optional task explains how to configure the maximum numbers of equal-cost paths that IPv6 RIP will support, adjust the IPv6 RIP timers, and originate a default IPv6 route.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. ipv6 router rip word

4. maximum-paths number-paths

5. exit

6. interface type number

7. ipv6 rip name default-information {only | originate} [metric metric-value]

DETAILED STEPS

 
Command or Action
Purpose

Step 1 

enable

Example:

Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

•Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2 

configure terminal

Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3 

ipv6 router rip word

Example:

Router(config)# ipv6 router rip cisco

Configures an IPv6 RIP routing process and enters router configuration mode for the IPv6 RIP routing process.

•Use the word argument to identify a specific IPv6 RIP routing process.

Step 4 

maximum-paths number-paths

Example:

Router(config-router)# maximum-paths 1

(Optional) Defines the maximum number of equal-cost routes that IPv6 RIP can support.

•The number-paths argument is an integer from 1 to 64. The default for RIP is four paths.

Step 5 

exit

Example:

Router(config-if)# exit

Exits interface configuration mode and enters global configuration mode.

Step 6 

interface type number

Example:

Router(config)# interface Ethernet 0/0

Specifies the interface type and number, and enters interface configuration mode.

Step 7 

ipv6 rip name default-information {only | originate} [metric metric-value]

Example:

Router(config-if)# ipv6 rip cisco default-information originate

(Optional) Originates the IPv6 default route (::/0) into the specified RIP routing process updates sent out of the specified interface.

Note To avoid routing loops after the IPv6 default route (::/0) is originated out of any interface, the routing process ignores all default routes received on any interface.

•Specifying the only keyword originates the default route (::/0) but suppresses all other routes in the updates sent on this interface.

•Specifying the originate keyword originates the default route (::/0) in addition to all other routes in the updates sent on this interface.


Redistributing Routes into an IPv6 RIP Routing Process

RIP supports the use of a route map to select routes for redistribution. Routes may be specified by prefix, using a route-map prefix list, or by tag, using the route-map "match tag" function.

The maximum metric that RIP can advertise is 16, and a metric of 16 denotes a route that is unreachable. Therefore, if you are redistributing routes with metrics greater than or equal to 16, then by default RIP will advertise them as unreachable. These routes will not be used by neighboring routers. The user must configure a redistribution metric of less than 15 for these routes.

Note You must to advertise a route with metric of 15 or less. A RIP router always adds an interface cost—the default is 1—onto the metric of a received route. If you advertise a route with metric 15, your neighbor will add 1 to it, making a metric of 16. Because a metric of 16 is unreachable, your neighbor will not install the route in the routing table.

If no metric is specified, then the current metric of the route is used. To find the current metric of the route, enter the show ipv6 route command.

This task explains how to redistribute tagged routes into an IPv6 RIP routing process.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. interface type number

4. ipv6 rip name enable

5. redistribute protocol [process-id] {level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2} [metric metric-value] [metric-type {internal | external}] [route-map map-name]

Example:

Router(config-router)# redistribute bgp 65001 route-map bgp-to-rip

Redistributes the specified routes into the IPv6 RIP routing process.

•The protocol argument can be one of the following keywords: bgp, connected, isis, rip, or static.

•The rip keyword and process-id argument specify an IPv6 RIP routing process.

Note The connected keyword refers to routes that are established automatically by assigning IPv6 addresses to an interface.


Configuring Tags for RIP Routes

When performing route redistribution, you can associate a numeric tag with a route. The tag is advertised with the route by RIP and will be installed along with the route in neighboring router's routing table.

If you redistribute a tagged route (for example, a route in the IPv6 routing table that already has a tag) into RIP, then RIP will automatically advertise the tag with the route. If you use a redistribution route map to specify a tag, then RIP will use the route map tag in preference to the routing table tag.

The following task explains how to set route tags using a route map.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. route-map map-tag [permit | deny] [sequence-number]

4. match ipv6 address {prefix-list prefix-list-name | access-list-name}

5. set tag tag-value

Example:

Router(config-route-map)# match ipv6 address prefix-list bgp-to-rip-flt

Specifies a list of IPv6 prefixes to be matched.

Step 5 

set tag tag-value

Example:

Router(config-route-map)# set tag 4

Sets the tag value to associate with the redistributed routes.


Filtering IPv6 RIP Routing Updates

Route filtering using distribute lists provides control over the routes RIP receives and advertises. This control may be exercised globally or per interface.

This task explains how to apply a prefix list to IPv6 RIP routing updates that are received or sent on an interface.

IPv6 Distribute Lists

Filtering is controlled by distribute lists. Input distribute lists control route reception, and input filtering is applied to advertisements received from neighbors. Only those routes that pass input filtering will be inserted in the RIP local routing table and become candidates for insertion into the IPv6 routing table.

Output distribute lists control route advertisement; Output filtering is applied to route advertisements sent to neighbors. Only those routes passing output filtering will be advertised.

Global distribute lists (which are distribute lists that do not apply to a specified interface) apply to all interfaces. If a distribute list specifies an interface, then that distribute list applies only to that interface.

An interface distribute list always takes precedence. For example, for a route received at an interface, with the interface filter set to deny, and the global filter set to permit, the route is blocked, the interface filter is passed, the global filter is blocked, and the route is passed.

IPv6 Prefix List Operand Keywords

IPv6 prefix lists are used to specify certain prefixes or a range of prefixes that must be matched before a permit or deny statement can be applied. Two operand keywords can be used to designate a range of prefix lengths to be matched. A prefix length of less than, or equal to, a value is configured with the le keyword. A prefix length greater than, or equal to, a value is specified using the ge keyword. The ge and le keywords can be used to specify the range of the prefix length to be matched in more detail than the usual ipv6-prefix/prefix-length argument. For a candidate prefix to match against a prefix list entry three conditions can exist:

•The candidate prefix must match the specified prefix list and prefix length entry.

•The value of the optional le keyword specifies the range of allowed prefix lengths from the prefix-length argument up to, and including, the value of the le keyword.

•The value of the optional ge keyword specifies the range of allowed prefix lengths from the value of the ge keyword up to, and including, 128.

Note Note that the first condition must match before the other conditions take effect.

An exact match is assumed when the ge or le keywords are not specified. If only one keyword operand is specified then the condition for that keyword is applied, and the other condition is not applied. The prefix-length value must be less than the ge value. The ge value must be less than, or equal to, the le value. The le value must be less than or equal to 128.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. ipv6 prefix list prefix-list-name [seq seq-number] {deny ipv6-prefix/prefix-length | description text} [ge ge-value] [le le-value]

4. ipv6 prefix list prefix-list-name [seq seq-number] {permit ipv6-prefix/prefix-length | description text} [ge ge-value] [le le-value]

Verifying IPv6 RIP Configuration and Operation

A user may want to check IPv6 RIP configuration and operation. Some of the following scenarios may occur for which a user can then enable the following show and debug commands:

•"Why isn't a certain route appearing in my IPv6 routing table?"

•"Am I receiving routes via RIP?"

•"Is a certain route being filtered?"

•"Someone at a route site told me that I am not advertising a certain route. True?"

This task explains how to display information to verify the configuration and operation of IPv6 RIP.

Configuration Examples for IPv6 RIP

This section provides the following configuration examples:

•IPv6 RIP Configuration: Example

IPv6 RIP Configuration: Example

In the following example, the IPv6 RIP process named cisco is enabled on the router and on Ethernet interface 0/0. The IPv6 default route (::/0) is advertised in addition to all other routes in router updates sent on Ethernet interface 0/0. Additionally, BGP routes are redistributed into the RIP process named cisco according to a route map where routes that match a prefix list are also tagged. The number of parallel paths is set to one to allow the route tagging, and the IPv6 RIP timers are adjusted. A prefix list named eth0/0-in-flt filters inbound routing updates on Ethernet interface 0/0.
