438 CHAPTER 33: IPV6 RIPNG CONFIGURATION
Configuring Zero Field
Check on RIPng Packets
Some fields in the RIPng packet must be zero. These fields are called zero fields.
With zero field check on RIPng packets enabled, if such a field contains a non-zero
value, the entire RIPng packet will be discarded. If you are sure that all packets are
trusty, you can disable the zero field check to save the CPU processing time.
Follow these steps to configure RIPng zero field check:

Example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 142, all switches run RIPng. Configure Switch B to filter the
route (3::/64) learnt from Switch C, which means the route will not be added to
the routing table of Switch B, and Switch B will not forward it to Switch A.
