Title

Interface Auto-Configuration Profile

Description

The Interface Auto-Configuration Profile provides standards and guidance for support of the Routing Information Protocol (RIPv2 and RIPng) to expand the amount of useful information carried in RIP messages for the exploitation of auto-configurations over NIP-G and PCN-compliant interfaces, and for the inclusion of a measure of control.

Taxonomy

Standards

Guidance

The auto-configuration is a highly recommended feature for the desired flexibility, maintainability and survivability in communications systems configuration. Nevertheless, there is always an option to follow a manual configuration process. This implies that auto-configuration in itself is not mandatory; when applied, the listed standards are mandatory.
