Operation Manual – IPv6 RoutingH3C S5500-SI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 IPv6-RIPng Configuration2-82.4 Optimizing the RIPng NetworkThis section describes how to adjust and optimize the performance of the RIPngnetwork as well as applications under special network environments. Before adjustingand optimizing the RIPng network, complete the following tasks:z Configure a network layer address for each interfacez Configure the basic RIPng functionsThis section covers the following topics:z Configuring RIPng Timersz Configuring the Split Horizon and Poison Reversez Configuring Zero Field Check2.4.1 Configuring RIPng TimersYou can adjust RIPng timers to optimize the performance of the RIPng network.Follow these steps to configure RIPng timers:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view —Enter RIPng view ripng [ process-id ] —Configure RIPngtimerstimers{ garbage-collectgarbage-collect-value| suppresssuppress-value |timeouttimeout-value |updateupdate-value } *Optional.The RIPng timers have the followingdefaults:z 30 seconds for the update timerz 180 seconds for the timeout timerz 120 seconds for the suppress timerz 240 seconds for thegarbage-collect timerNote:When adjusting RIPng timers, you should consider the network performance andperform unified configurations on routers running RIPng to avoid unnecessary networktraffic increase or route oscillation.
