1521
enable ripng
enable ripng
Description
Enables RIPng for the whole router.
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.
Default
Disabled.
Usage Guidelines
Although RIPng is useful in small networks, it has a number of limitations that can cause problems in
large networks, including:
●
A limit of 15 hops between the source and destination networks
●
A large amount of bandwidth taken up by periodic broadcasts of the entire routing table
●
Slow convergence
●
Routing decisions based on hop count; no concept of link costs or delay
●
Flat networks; no concept of areas or boundaries
For larger networks, consider OSPFv3 as an alternative IGP.
Example
The following command enables RIPng for the whole router:
