Configuring FortiGate unit RIP router information

With the interfaces configured, RIP can now be configured on the FortiGate units. For each FortiGate unit the following steps will be taken:

  • Configure RIP version used
  • Redistribute static networks
  • Add networks serviced by RIP
  • Add interfaces that support RIP on the FortiGate unit

Router1 and Router4 are configured the same. Router2 and Router3 are configured the same. These routers will be grouped accordingly for the following procedures — repeat the procedures once for each FortiGate unit.

Configure RIP settings on Router1 and Router4 – web-based manager

1. Go to Router > Dynamic > RIP.

2. Select 2 for RIP Version.

3. In Advanced Options, under Redistribute enable Static.
