Select a virtual router (NetworkVirtual Routers)
and for the virtual router, select RIP.
Select Enable to enable the
RIP protocol.
Select Reject Default Route if
you do not want to learn any default routes through RIP. This is
the recommended, default setting.
Clear Reject Default Route if you
want to permit redistribution of default routes through RIP.
Configure interfaces for RIP.
On the Interfaces tab,
select an interface in the Interface configuration section.
Select an already defined interface.
Select Enable.
Select Advertise Default Route to
advertise a default route to RIP peers with the specified metric value.
(Optional) Select a profile from the Auth
Profile list.
Select normal, passive or send-only from the Mode list.
(Optional) To enable BFD for RIP
globally for the virtual router, select a BFD profile.
Click OK.
Configure RIP timers.
On the Timers tab,
enter a value for Interval Seconds (sec).
This setting defines the length of the following RIP timer intervals
in seconds (range is 1 to 60; default is 1).
Specify the Update Intervals to
define the number of intervals between route update announcements (range
is 1 to 3,600; default is 30).
Specify the Expire Intervals to
define the number of intervals between the time that the route was
last updated to its expiration (range is 1 to 3600; default is 120).
Specify the Delete Intervals to
define the number of intervals between the time that the route expires
to its deletion (range is 1 to 3,600; default is 180).
(Optional) Configure Auth Profiles.
By default, the firewall does not use RIP authentication
for the exchange between RIP neighbors. Optionally, you can configure
RIP authentication between RIP neighbors by either a simple password
or MD5 authentication. MD5 authentication is recommended; it is
more secure than a simple password.

Password RIP authentication
Select Auth Profiles and Add a

Type.
Enter a simple password and then confirm.
MD5 RIP authentication
Select Auth Profiles and Add a
name for the authentication profile to authenticate RIP messages.
Select MD5 as the Password
Type.
Add one or more password entries,
including:
Key-ID (range is 0 to 255)
Key
(Optional) Select Preferred status.

to be used to authenticate outgoing message.
