new IPv6 VLAN interface in the Interface Setup screen.
Figure 355 IP Application > RIP > IPv6 RIP
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 203 IP Application > RIP > IPv6 RIP
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Active Select this check box to enable IPv6 RIP on the Switch.
Update Timer Set the duration of the Update Timer (in seconds) to specify how often the Switch broadcasts its
routing table and incorporates routing table information sent from other routers.
Timeout Timer Specify how long (in seconds) the Switch waits for route updates before a route is declared no
longer valid. The metric of route will then be set to 16, which means the route is considered
unreachable.
Timeout Timer should be greater than Update Timer.
Garbage
Collection Timer
Specify how long (in seconds) the Switch waits before removing the invalid route from the
routing table.
Distance Enter a number from 10 to 255 to specify the administrative distance that is assigned to routes
learned by RIP.
The lower the administrative distance value is, the more preferable the routing protocol is.
Note: You cannot set two routing protocols to have the same administrative
distance.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to
save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
Index This field displays the index number of an IPv6 interface.
