Configuring RIP for FortiGate interfaces
You can customize a RIP configuration for each FortiGate interface. This allows you to
customize RIP for the network to which each interface is connected.
To configure RIP for FortiGate interfaces
1 Go to System > RIP > Interface.
On this page you can view a summary of the RIP settings for each FortiGate interface.
2 Select Modify for the interface for which to configure RIP settings.
3 Configure any of the following RIP settings:
RIP1 Send Enables sending RIP version 1 broadcasts from this interface to the network
it is connected to. The routing broadcasts are UDP packets with a destination
port of 520.
RIP1 Receive Enables listening on port 520 of an interface for RIP version 1 broadcasts.
RIP2 Send Enables sending RIP version 2 broadcasts from this interface to the network
it is connected to. The routing broadcasts are UDP packets with a destination
port of 520.
RIP2 Receive Enables listening on port 520 of an interface for RIP version 2 broadcasts.
Split-Horizon Prevents RIP from sending updates for a route back out the interface from
which it received those routes. Split horizon is enabled by default. You should
only disable split horizon if there is no possibility of creating a counting to
infinity loop when network topology changes.
Authentication Enables authentication for RIP version 2 packets sent and received by an
interface. Because the original RIP standard does not support authentication,
authentication is only available for RIP version 2.
