Configuring Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 2453) is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that is
commonly used in internal networks (LANs). It allows a router to exchange its routing
information automatically with other routers, and allows it to dynamically adjust its routing
tables and adapt to changes in the network. RIP is disabled by default.
To configure RIP parameters:
1. Select Network Configuration > Routing from the menu.
2. Click the RIP Configuration link to the right of the tab. The RIP Configuration screen
is displayed.
3. From the RIP Direction drop-down list, choose the direction in which the VPN firewall
will send and receive RIP packets. The choices are:
None. The VPN firewall neither broadcasts its route table nor does it accept any RIP
packets from other routers. This effectively disables RIP.
Both. The VPN firewall broadcasts its routing table and also processes RIP
information received from other routers.
Out Only. The VPN firewall broadcasts its routing table periodically but does not
accept RIP information from other routers.
