RIP Tab

The following table describes the virtual router’s Runtime Stats for RIP.

RIP Runtime Stats	Description
Summary Tab
Interval Seconds	Number of seconds in an interval. RIP uses this value (a length of time) to control its Update, Expire, and Delete Intervals.
Update Intervals	Number of intervals between RIP route advertisement updates that the virtual router sends to peers.
Expire Intervals	Number of intervals since the last update the virtual router received from a peer, after which the virtual router marks the routes from the peer as unusable.
Delete Intervals	Number of intervals after a route has been marked as unusable that, if no update is received, the firewall deletes the route from the routing table.
Interface Tab
Address	IP address of an interface on the virtual router where RIP is enabled.
Auth Type	Type of authentication: simple password, MD5, or none.
Send Allowed	Check mark indicates this interface is allowed to send RIP packets.
Receive Allowed	Check mark indicates this interface is allowed to receive RIP packets.
Advertise Default Route	Check mark indicates that RIP will advertise its default route to its peers.
Default Route Metric	Metric (hop count) assigned to the default route. The lower the metric value, the higher priority it has in the route table to be selected as the preferred path.
Key Id	Authentication key used with peers.
Preferred	Preferred key for authentication.
Peer Tab
Peer Address	IP address of a peer to the virtual router’s RIP interface.
Last Update	Date and time that the last update was received from this peer.
RIP Version	RIP version the peer is running.
Invalid Packets	Count of invalid packets received from this peer. Possible causes that the firewall cannot parse the RIP packet: x bytes over a route boundary, too many routes in packet, bad subnet, illegal address, authentication failed, or not enough memory.
Invalid Routes	Count of invalid routes received from this peer. Possible causes: route is invalid, import fails, or not enough memory.
