Checking Connectivity
Now, try pinging R2’s loopback interface from R1 and vice versa :
R1#ping 3000:192:168::1
R2#ping 2000:192:168::1
R1 will be able to ping the R2 loopback interface after configuring RIPng and vice versa, as RIPng injected route entries of both the routers’ loopback interface IPv6 network in each other’s IPv6 route table through RIPng advertisements (same as RIPv2) :
To capture the interface in GNS3 :
- Make sure that Wireshark is installed on your PC.
- Hover over the interface you want to capture and right-click on the interface
- A drop-down menu will appear with some options.
- Select the option that says “Start capture”.
Configuring RIP for IPv6 – RIPng in Cisco
Pre-requisites: Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Routing Information Protocol (RIP) V1 & V2, Implementation of RIP Routing
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a dynamic routing protocol that applies hop count as a routing metric to find the best path between source and destination networks. It is a distance vector routing protocol with an AD value of 120 and operates on the network layer of the OSI model. RIP uses port number 520.
