Configuring RIPng on FortiGate units

Now that the interfaces are configured, you can configure RIPng on the FortiGate units.

There are only two networks and two interfaces to include — the internal network, and the ISP network. There is no redistribution, and no authentication. In RIPng there is no specific command to include a subnet in the RIP broadcasts. There is also no information required for the interfaces beyond including their name.

As this is a CLI only configuration, configure the ISP router and the other FortiGate unit as neighbors. This was not part of the previous example as this feature is not offered in the web-based manager. Declaring neighbors in the configuration like this will reduce the discovery traffic when the routers start up.

Since RIPng is not supported in the web-based manager, this section will only be entered in the CLI.

 

To configure RIPng on Router1 – CLI

config router ripng config interface

edit port1 next

edit port2 end

config neighbor edit 1

set interface port1

set ipv6 2002:a0b:6566::/0

next edit 2

set interface port2

set ipv6 2002:AC14:7805::/0

end

 

To configure RIPng on Router2 – CLI

config router ripng config interface

edit port1 next

edit port2 end

config neighbor edit 1

set interface port1

set ipv6 2002:a0b:6565::/0

next edit 2

set interface port2

set ipv6 2002:AC14:7805::/0

end
