Description

 

This article allows for a visual guide of RIP configuration in FortiGate GUI on a single FortiGate.

Scope

 

FortiGate.

 

Solution

 

RIP can be accessed in GUI and these are the available options as default:

For interfaces, use 'Create new' to add all the interfaces involved in RIP traffic.

Use/ enable 'Passive' only for the local LAN interface, for which this unit is the default gateway (no routing table needs to be propagated there).

 

After this change, it is possible to see the routing protocol being used, and the current settings.

 

For example:
