Selecting advanced RIP options
With advanced RIP options, you can specify settings for RIP timers and define metrics for
redistributing routes that the FortiGate unit learns through some means other than RIP
updates. For example, if the unit is connected to an OSPF or BGP network or you add a
static route to the FortiGate routing table manually, you can configure the unit to advertise
those routes on RIP-enabled interfaces.
To select advanced RIP options, go to Router > Dynamic > RIP and expand Advanced
Options. After you select the options, select Apply.
Figure 171: Advanced Options (RIP)
Interfaces Any additional settings needed to adjust RIP operation on a FortiGate
interface.
Create New Add new RIP operating parameters for an interface. These
parameters will override the global RIP settings for that interface. For
more information, see
“Configuring a RIP-enabled interface” on
page 293 .
Interface The name of the unit RIP interface.
Send Version The version of RIP used to send updates through each interface: 1 , 2 ,
or both .
Receive Version The versions of RIP used to listen for updates on each interface: 1 , 2 ,
or both .
Authentication The type of authentication used on this interface: None, Text or MD5 .
Passive Permissions for RIP broadcasts on this interface. A green checkmark

Delete and Edit icons Delete or edit a RIP network entry or a RIP interface definition.
Note: You can configure additional advanced options through customizable GUI widgets,
and the CLI. For example, you can filter incoming or outgoing updates by using a route
map, an access list, or a prefix list. The FortiGate unit also supports offset lists, which add
the specified offset to the metric of a route. For more information on customizable GUI
widgets, see
“Customizable routing widgets” on page 309 . For more information on CLI
routing commands, see the “router” chapter of the FortiGate CLI Reference .
