With advanced RIP options, you can specify settings for RIP timers and define metrics for
redistributing routes that the FortiGate unit learns through some means other than RIP
updates. For example, if the unit is connected to an OSPF or BGP network or you add a
static route to the FortiGate routing table manually, you can configure the unit to advertise
those routes on RIP-enabled interfaces.
To select advanced RIP options, go to Router > Dynamic > RIP and expand Advanced
Options. After you select the options, select Apply.
Note: You can configure additional advanced options through customizable GUI widgets,
and the CLI. For example, you can filter incoming or outgoing updates by using a route
map, an access list, or a prefix list. The FortiGate unit also supports offset lists, which add
the specified offset to the metric of a route. For more information on customizable GUI
widgets, see "Customizable routing widgets" on page
routing commands, see the "router" chapter of the
