Routing Information Protocol
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) can be enabled to build the Cisco Security
Appliance routing table. RIP configuration specifies whether the Security Appliance updates
its routing tables by passively listening to RIP traffic and whether the interface broadcasts
itself as a default route for network traffic on that interface. When using RIP version 2 with
Security Appliance software versions earlier than 5.3, it is important to configure the router
providing the RIP updates with the network address of the Security Appliance interface. The
default version is 1 if not explicitly specified. The syntax to enable RIP is as follows:
rip if-name default | passive [version [1 | 2]] [authentication [text | md5
key (key-id)]]
Table 6-10 describes the rip command parameters.
