Adding RIP filters
Use RIP filters to control the routing information received by the FortiGate unit and sent by the FortiGate unit. You can create filters for two purposes:
Neighbors filter For filtering routes received from neighboring routers. When the FortiGate unit receives routes from a neighboring router, the neighbors filter defines what routes received from the neighbor will be stored in the FortiGate routing table and what routes will be discarded.
Routes filter For filtering routes before a routing table update is sent to neighboring routers. Before the FortiGate unit sends routes to neighboring routers, the routes filter defines what routes can be sent and what routes cannot be sent.
A RIP filter consists of the IP address and netmask of a route, the action the filter should perform for this route (allow or deny), and the interface on which this filter entry should be applied. Routes that do not match a route added to a RIP filter are allowed.
A single RIP filter contains instructions for allowing or denying a single route. You can add multiple RIP filter entries under the same RIP filter name to create a RIP filter list. Using a RIP filter list you can filter multiple routes.
After creating RIP filters and filter lists you can configure the neighbors filter or routes filter by selecting a filter or filter list for each of these filter types. If you do not select a RIP filter for neighbors or routes, no filtering is applied. You can add a total of four RIP filters or RIP filter lists, but you can only have one active neighbors filter and one active routes filter.

Adding a single RIP filter
Add a single RIP filter to filter a single route. You can apply a single RIP filter to the neighbors or routes filter. You can add a total of four RIP filters or RIP Filter lists.
If you want to filter multiple routes, use a RIP filter list. See “Adding a RIP filter list” on page 127.
1Go to System > RIP > Filter.
