RIP is not necessary and does not provide any useful functionality in your topology, IMHO; and you would 'learn more' by building the correct static routing tables, setting up default routes, etc.
If you still want to experiment, would recommend you experiment with something more useful than RIP. A freeware version of OSPF would be more instructive because there are more metrics (5, as I recall) in OSPF, in RIP(v1) there are only hop counts.

ip6_setup
ip6_setup(8) System Manager's Manual ip6_setup(8)
NAME
ip6_setup - IPv6 configuration program
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/ip6_setup
DESCRIPTION
The ip6_setup utility allows you to configure the IPv6 networking software on your system.
To run ip6_setup, enter the following command and then answer the questions: # ip6_setup
You must know your Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) address. If your network uses subnet routing, you must know the subnet mask for your
network. The network manager should be able to provide you with the information that you need.
After the ip6_setup command completes, the network services on the system can be restarted manually with the following command: #
/usr/sbin/rcinet restart
Before you restart the network services with the preceding command, warn the users that the network services on the system are being
removed. File systems that were not mounted using the /etc/fstab file or the automount command must be unmounted with the unmount command.
You must remount these file systems using the mount command after the network is started on your system.
Alternatively, you can reboot the system with the following command: # /usr/sbin/shutdown -r now
