Garbage
Enter the amount of time (in seconds) that the
FortiGate unit will advertise a route as being
unreachable before deleting the route from the
routing table. The value determines how long an
unreachable route is kept in the routing table.
Enable or disable RIP updates about routes that were not learned
through RIP. The FortiGate unit can use RIP to redistribute routes
learned from directly connected networks, static routes, OSPF,
and/or BGP.

Select to redistribute routes learned from directly
connected networks. If you want to specify a hop
count for those routes, select Metric, and in the
Metric field, enter the hop count. The range is from
1 to 16.
Select to redistribute routes learned from static
routes. If you want to specify a hop count for those
routes, select Metric, and in the Metric field, enter
the hop count. The range is from 1 to 16.
Select to redistribute routes learned through OSPF.
If you want to specify a hop count for those routes,
select Metric, and in the Metric field, enter the hop
count. The range is from 1 to 16.
Select to redistribute routes learned through BGP. If
you want to specify a hop count for those routes,
select Metric, and in the Metric field, enter the hop
count. The range is from 1 to 16.
Overriding the RIP operating parameters on an interface
RIP interface options enable you to override the global RIP settings that apply to
all Fortinet interfaces connected to RIP-enabled networks. For example, if you
want to suppress RIP advertising on an interface that is connected to a subnet of
a RIP-enabled network, you can enable the interface to operate passively.
Passive interfaces listen for RIP updates but do not respond to RIP requests.
If RIP version 2 is enabled on the interface, you can optionally choose password
authentication to ensure that the FortiGate unit authenticates a neighboring router
before accepting updates from that router. The FortiGate unit and the neighboring
router must both be configured with the same password. Authentication
guarantees the authenticity of the update packet, not the confidentiality of the
routing information in the packet.
To set specific RIP operating parameters for a RIP-enabled interface, go to
Router > Dynamic > RIP and select Create New.
Note: Additional options such as split-horizon and key-chain settings can be configured per
interface through the CLI. For more information, see the “router” chapter of the FortiGate
CLI Reference.
Figure 154 shows the New/Edit RIP Interface dialog box belonging to a FortiGate
unit that has an interface named “internal”. The names of the interfaces on your
FortiGate unit may be different.
