Configuring RIP for FortiGate interfaces | RIP configuration |
|
|
Password | Enter the password to be used for RIP version 2 authentication. The |
| password can be up to 16 characters long. |
Mode | Defines the authentication used for RIP version 2 packets sent and received |
| by this interface. If you select Clear, the password is sent as plain text. If you |
| select MD5, the password is used to generate an MD5 hash. |
| MD5 only guarantees the authenticity of the update packet, not the |
| confidentiality of the routing information in the packet. |
Metric | Changes the metric for routes sent by this interface. All routes sent from this |
| interface have this metric added to their current metric value. You can |
| change the interface metric to give a higher priority to an interface. For |
| example, if you have two interfaces that can be used to route packets to the |
| same destination, and you set the metric of one interface higher than the |
| other, the routes to the interface with the lower metric will seem to have a |
| lower cost. More traffic will use routes to the interface with the lower metric. |
| Metric can be from 1 to 16 with 16 equalling unreachable. |
