ipv6 rip enable

Enables RIPng on an interface.
Syntax
ipv6 rip enable
no ipv6 rip enable
Command Default

RIPng is disabled by default.

Modes

RIPng configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Use the no form of the command to disable RIPng on an individual interface.

Before you can enable RIPng, you must first enable forwarding of IPv6 traffic on the device using the ipv6 unicast-routing command. You must also enable IPv6 on each interface that will support RIPng. Enable IPv6 explicitly on an interface with the ipv6 enable command or by configuring an IPv6 address on the interface.

After you enable RIPng on the device using the ipv6 router rip command, use the ipv6 rip enable command to enable each RIPng interface individually. You can use the command to enable RIPng on a physical or virtual routing interface.

Examples

The following example enables RIPng on Ethernet interface 3/1/1. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface ethernet 3/1/1
device(config-if-e100-3/1/1)# ipv6 rip enable

The following example enables RIPng on virtual ethernet interface 3. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface ve 3
device(config-vif-3)# ipv6 rip enable
