Tuning and Optimizing the RIPng Network
This section describes how to tune and optimize the performance of the RIPng network as well as
applications under special network environments. Before tuning and optimizing the RIPng network,
complete the following tasks:
z
Configure a network layer address for each interface
z
Configure the basic RIPng functions

Configuring RIPng Timers
You can adjust RIPng timers to optimize the performance of the RIPng network.
Follow these steps to configure RIPng timers:

Optional.
The RIPng timers have the following
defaults:
defaults:

30 seconds for the update timer
z
180 seconds for the timeout timer
z
120 seconds for the suppress timer

When adjusting RIPng timers, you should consider the network performance and perform unified
configurations on routers running RIPng to avoid unnecessary network traffic increase or route
oscillation.
