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

1Go to System > RIP > Interface.

On this page you can view a summary of the RIP settings for each FortiGate interface.

2Select Modify for the interface for which to configure RIP settings.

3Configure 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-HorizonPrevents 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.
