By: Lazaro (Laz) Diaz

Overview of this book

Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Routing and Switching is one of the most important qualifications for keeping your networking skills up to date. CCNA Routing and Switching 200-125 Certification Guide covers topics included in the latest CCNA exam, along with review and practice questions. This guide introduces you to the structure of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and examines in detail the creation of IP networks and sub-networks and how to assign addresses in the network. You will then move on to understanding how to configure, verify, and troubleshoot layer 2 and layer 3 protocols. In addition to this, you will discover the functionality, configuration, and troubleshooting of DHCPv4. Combined with router and router simulation practice, this certification guide will help you cover everything you need to know in order to pass the CCNA Routing and Switching 200-125 exam. By the end of this book, you will explore security best practices, as well as get familiar with the protocols that a network administrator can use to monitor the network.

Using RIPng

Using static routes is fine for small networks, especially if you're using IPv6. That is a big address to be typing repeatedly. Remember that in static routes, the burden is on you to put in or take out any static routes as they change, so dynamic routing is the way to go.

RIPng is the same as in IPv4, when it comes to its characteristics. It is still a distance vector routing protocol, which means it will send periodic updates every 30 seconds. It still has a 15-hop count limitation and the timers are still the same.

What has changed is the multicast address. It is FF02::9 instead of 224.0.0.9, and as far as the configuration of RIPng goes, to be honest, it is much easier. You do not have to be worried about the no auto-summary command and you can enable RIPng on the interface that you want to participate in the RIP routing process. RIPng has a process ID number...
