Configuring RIPng timers
Adjust RIPng timers to optimize the performance of the RIPng network. When adjusting RIPng timers,
consider the network performance, and perform unified configurations on routers running RIPng to avoid
unnecessary network traffic increase or route oscillation.
To configure RIPng timers:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.

The RIPng timers have the following defaults:

Configuring split horizon and poison reverse
If both split horizon and poison reverse are configured, only the poison reverse function takes effect.
Configuring split horizon
The split horizon function disables a route learned from an interface from being advertised through the
same interface to prevent routing loops between neighbors. HP recommends enabling split horizon to
prevent routing loops.
To configure split horizon:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.

N/A
2.
Enter interface view.

N/A
3.
Enable the split horizon
function.
ripng split-horizon
Optional.
Enabled by default.
Configuring the poison reverse function
The poison reverse function enables a route learned from an interface to be advertised through the
interface. However, the metric of the route is set to 16 (unreachable).
To configure poison reverse:
Step Command
