• “Enable RIP Globally” on page 162

• “Edit the Configuration of RIP on a IP Interface” on page 162

• “Managing IP Interfaces” on page 141

Enable RIP Globally

STEP 1

From the LSM, select Network > Routing > RIP. The NETWORK - RIP Setup page displays.

STEP 2

On the RIP Setup page, check Enable RIP.

This globally enable RIP such that it can be used on any interface.

STEP 3

In the Routing Update Timer field, enter a value between 1 and 600 seconds (default 30 sec-

onds) for the interval between updates of RIP routes to neighbors.

STEP 4

Click Apply to save the change.

Edit the Configuration of RIP on a IP Interface

STEP 1

From the LSM menu, select Network > Routing > RIP.

STEP 2

On the RIP Setup page, click the Edit icon for the interface you want to edit.

STEP 3

On the Edit IP Interfaces page in the Advanced Options section, modify the RIP configura-

tion as required.

STEP 4

Enable Firewall Rules to allow RIP to/from this-device for the relevant zones.

Split Horizon Whether Split Horizon is enabled or disabled on the interface. Split Horizon

reduces convergence time by not allowing routers to advertise networks in the

direction from which those networks were learned. The announcements only

include networks in the opposite direction. This also reduces loops.

Poison Reverse Whether Poison Reverse is enabled or disabled on the interface. If Poison

Reverse is enabled routes learned from a neighbor are advertised back to it

with metric 16 (unreachable). This has a similar effect as split horizon, and is

also called split horizon with poison reverse. In a single-path network this has

no advantage over split horizon. However, in multi-path networks this greatly

reduces loops.

Authentication The type of authentication used on the interface, either none, MD5 or

Simple.

Function(s) The functions available to manage IP interface. Edit is the only option

available.

Column Description

Note You must enable RIP globally in order to run it on any interface.

Generally, you should not enable RIP on external IP interfaces.
