Configuring Zero Field Check on RIPng Packets
Some fields in the RIPng packet must be zero. These fields are called zero fields. With zero field check
on RIPng packets enabled, if such a field contains a non-zero value, the entire RIPng packet will be
discarded. If you are sure that all packets are trusty, you can disable the zero field check to reduce the
CPU processing time.
