Configuring Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 2453) is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that is
commonly used in internal networks (LANs). It allows a router to exchange its routing information
automatically with other routers, and allows it to dynamically adjust its routing tables and adapt to
changes in the network. RIP is disabled by default.
To configure RIP:
1. Select Network Configuration from the main menu and Routing from the submenu. The
Routing screen will display (see Figure 3-5 on page 3-12).
2. Click the RIP Configuration link. The RIP Configuration screen will display.
3. From the RIP Direction pull-down menu, select the direction for the VPN firewall to send and
receive RIP packets:
• Both. The VPN firewall broadcasts its routing table and also processes RIP information
received from other routers.
• Out Only. The VPN firewall broadcasts its routing table periodically but does not accept
RIP information from other routers.
