Configure RIPv2 on an Advanced Routing Engine

Configure RIPv2 on an Advanced Routing Engine.
The Advanced Routing Engine supports RIPv2.
Consider the RIPv2 Routing Profiles and filters that you can apply to RIPv2 and thereby save configuration time and maintain consistency. You can create profiles and filters in advance or as you configure RIPv2.
  1. Enable RIPv2 and configure general settings.
    1. Select
      Network
      Routing
      Logical Routers
      and select a logical router.
    2. Select
      RIPv2
      and
      Enable
      it.
    3. Select
      advertise default route in RIP
      to advertise the default route even if it doesn’t exist in the RIB of the routing engine.
    4. If you want to apply BFD to RIPv2, select a
      BFD Profile
      you created, or select the
      default
      profile, or create a new BFD Profile. Default is
      None (Disable BFD)
      .
    5. Select a
      Global General Timer
      or create a new RIPv2 Global Timer Profile.
    6. Select a
      Redistribution Profile
      or create a new Redistribution Profile to redistribute IPv4 static routes, connected routes, BGP IPv4 routes, or OSPFv2 routes to RIPv2.
    7. Select a
      Global Inbound Distribute List
      to control the incoming routes accepted.
    8. Select an
      Global Outbound Distribute List
      to control the routes advertised to RIP neighbors.
  2. Configure an interface for RIPv2.
    1. Add
      an
      Interface
      by selecting one and
      Enable
      it.
    2. For
      Split Horizon
      , select one of the following:
      • split-horizon
        —Does not advertise a route back on the same interface where it was received.
      • no-split-horizon
        —Disables split horizon.
      • no-split-horizon-with-poison-reverse
        —Allows the advertisement back on the same interface where it was received and sets the metric for these routes to the maximum allowed for RIP, which is 16.
    3. Select the
      Mode
      :
      • active
        —The interface will advertise networks and send RIP updates.
      • passive
        —The interface will advertise networks, but not send RIP updates. (Useful if there are no RIP routers for the network, and therefore no reason to send RIP updates on the interface.)
      • send-only
        —Can be used if the firewall is an end node and you only want to advertise a prefix to RIP, but use static routes or a default route to reach external prefixes.
    4. Select an
      Authentication
      profile if you want to override the profile you applied at the logical router level.
    5. By default, the interface will inherit the BFD profile you applied to the logical router for RIPv2 (
      Inherit-lr-global-setting
      ). Alternatively, select a different
      BFD Profile
      , create a new BFD Profile, or select
      None (Disable BFD)
      to disable BFD for the interface.
    6. For
      Interface Inbound Distribute List
      , select an
      Access List
      to control the routes coming to this interface.
    7. Specify the
      Metric
      applied to incoming routes; range is 1 to 16.
    8. For
      Interface Outbound Distribute List
      , select an
      Access List
      to control the routes advertised out this interface to RIP neighbors.
    9. Specify the
      Metric
      to apply to advertised routes; range is 1 to 16.
    10. Click
      OK
      .
  3. Click
    OK
    .
  4. (
    Optional
    ) Control RIP routes that are placed in the global RIB.
    You might learn routes and redistribute them, but not want them in the protocol’s local route table or global RIB. You might want to add only specific routes to the global RIB.
    1. Select
      Network
      Routing
      Logical Routers
      and select a logical router.
    2. Select
      RIB Filter
      to allow routes into or prevent routes from being added to the global RIB.
    3. To filter RIPv2 routes going to the RIB, in the IPv4 area, for
      RIP Route-Map
      , select a Redistribution Route Map or create a new one.
    4. Click
      OK
      .
