Configuring Dynamic Routing - RIP
Use the Networking > Routing > Dynamic - RIP page to configure Dynamic Routing
or RIP. RIP is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that is commonly used in internal
networks. 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.
STEP 1
At the top of the page, enter the following information:
•
RIP Enable:
Click
On
to enable RIP, or click
Off
to disable it. By default, RIP
is disabled.
•
RIP Version:
If you enable RIP, specify the RIP version. The security
appliance supports RIP Version 1 and RIP Version 2.
-
RIP Version 1
is a class-based routing version that does not include
subnet information. This is the most commonly supported version.
-
RIP Version 2
includes all the functionality of RIPv1 plus it supports
subnet information.
-
Default:
The data is sent in RIP Version 1 format and received in RIP
Version 1 and 2 format. This is the default setting.
STEP 2
In the table, specify the RIP settings for each available interface:
•
RIP Enable:
Check this box to enable the RIP settings on the port or VLAN.
•
Authentication:
If you are using RIP Version 2, click the
Edit
(pencil) icon
to
specify the authentication method for the port or VLAN.
-
None:
Choose this option to invalidate the authentication.
-
Simple Password Authentication:
Choose this option to validate the
simple password authentication. Enter the password in the field.
-
MD5 Authentication:
Choose this option to validate the MD5
authentication. Enter the unique key ID in the
MD5 Key ID
field and the
Key in the
MD5 Auth Key
field.
•
Port Passive:
Determines how the security appliance receives RIP packets.
Check this box to enable this feature on the port or VLAN.
