Ipv6 RIP

Moki99

Hey,

I was going through the CBT nugget video on how to configure RIP for ipv6. In Packet Tracer, I followed Jeremy's instructions step by step but when I do "show ipv6 route", I don't see any RIP connections in the routing table and I am not able to ping the lan interfaces. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. I cleaned up these running-configs. Let me know if you need more information from me.

The Topology includes two routers connected via serial cable.

Router1

hostname Router
!

ipv6 unicast-routing

interface FastEthernet0/0
no ip address
duplex auto
speed auto
ipv6 address 1FE0:1111::1/32
ipv6 rip 1 enable

interface Serial0/1/0
no ip address
ipv6 address 2001:210:10:1::1/64
ipv6 rip 1 enable
clock rate 64000

router rip

ipv6 router rip 1
redistribute rip 1

A year late, but I just came across this myself and found a solution that works.

On R1 I wasn't even able to ping the Ethernet interfaces until I actually connected a PC (via a crossover cable of course) to the interfaces that I configured.

If anyone comes across this in the future, there's your answer. Using a Loopback interface would probably work as well. If Packet Tracer allowed the "no keepalives" setting, this would also fix that, but I digress.

tl;dr connect a pc to each Ethernet or FastEthernet connection and it'll work.
