• RIPng routers run as a daemon process. RIPng protocol section of the RAMD configuration file,
/etc/ramd.conf
, can be used to configure the RIPng daemon.
rdc is a Command Line Interface (CLI) utility that controls the operations of the RIPng daemon. The CLI
utility, ram_monitor , can be used to monitor the RIPng information.
Enabling RIPng
The RAMD configuration file enables or disables the RIPng protocol. If the
ripng configuration statement
is not specified in the configuration file, by default, the value is
off. Only one ripng configuration state-
ment can be specified in the configuration file. The syntax for
ripng is:
ripng (on|off) {admin (
up|down); [snmp (on|off);]};
where the following means:
ripng Enables or disables RIPng protocol. By default, RIPng protocol is disabled.
admin Specifies the administrative status of the RIPng protocol. By default, administrative status is
up.
snmp Enables or disables SNMP support in ripngd. When on is specified, ripngd subagent regis-
ters with the snmpdm(1M) master agent and accesses the SNMP operations like
GET, SET
, and
GET-NEXT.
ripngd supports enterprise-specific MIB based on SNMPv2C.
ripngd implements
EMANATE subagent.
By default,
snmp is off.
Using ram_monitor for RIPng
The RIPng routers can be monitored using ram_monitor . The CLI port number can be specified in the
RIPng section of the RAMD configuration file.
The syntax of the cliport configuration statement is as follows:
cliport port-number;
This configuration statement specifies the TCP port number on which ripngd listens for
ram_monitor
connection. If the CLI port number is not specified, ripngd does not service ram_monitor
queries.
Specify this CLI port number with
ram_monitor to monitor RIPng routers.
Global Configuration Statement for RIPng
The configuration of global parameters for ripngd are explained below. These statements are defined in
the RIPng section of the configuration file.
Horizon Type
The horizon statement in the RIPng section of the RAMD configuration file specifies the horizon type;
e.g., the mode for RIPng routers to send route updates.
The syntax of the horizon configuration statement is as follows:
horizon (split|poison);
where:
split Specifies that the horizon is split horizon. The RIPng router does not send the routes learned
from a peer to that peer. This is the value used when the RIPng router creates a default
profile.
poison Specifies that the horizon is poison reverse. The RIPng router sends the routes learned from a
peer to that peer with metric set to infinity. By default, poison reverse is enabled.
Propagation for RIPng
The propagate statement controls the propagation of static or dynamic RIPng routes to its peers. By
default, both static and dynamic routes are propagated.
The syntax of the propagate configuration statement is as follows:
propagate (dynamic|both);
