Configuring Routes
Route Advertisement Configuration
To enable Route Advertisement for an Interface, follow these steps:
1
Click the Notepad icon in the Configure column for the interface. The Route Advertisement
Configuration window is displayed.
2
Select one of the following types of RIP Advertisements:
RIPv1 Enabled - RIPv1 is the first version of Routing Information Protocol.
RIPv2 Enabled (multicast) - to send route advertisements using multicasting (a single data
packet to specific notes on the network).
RIPv2 Enabled (broadcast) - to send route advertisements using broadcasting (a single data
packet to all nodes on the network).
3
In the Advertise Default Route menu, select Never, or When WAN is up, or Always.
4
Enable Advertise Static Routes if you have static routes configured on the SonicWALL security
appliance, enable this feature to exclude them from Route Advertisement.
5
Enable Advertise Remote VPN Networks if you want to advertise VPN networks.
6
Enter a value in seconds between advertisements broadcasted over a network in the Route
Change Damp Time (seconds) field. The default value is 30 seconds. A lower value corresponds
with a higher volume of broadcast traffic over the network. The Route Change Damp Time
(seconds) setting defines the delay between the time a VPN tunnel changes state (up or down)
and the time the change is advertised with RIP. The delay, in seconds, prevents ambiguous route
advertisements sent as a result of temporary change in the VPN tunnel status.
7
Enter the number of advertisements that a deleted route broadcasts until it stops in the Deleted
Route Advertisements (0-99) field. The default value is 1.
8
Enter a value from 1 to 15 in the Route Metric (1-15) field. This is the number of times a packet
touches a router from the source IP address to the destination IP address.
9
If RIPv2 is selected from the Route Advertisements menu, you can enter a value for the route tag
in the RIPv2 Route Tag (4 HEX Digits) field. This value is implementation-dependent and
provides a mechanism for routers to classify the originators of RIPv2 advertisements. This field is
optional.
10
If you wan to enable RIPv2 authentication, select one of the following options from the RIPv2
Authentication menu:
User defined - Enter 4 hex digits in the Authentication Type (4 hex digits) field. Enter 32 hex
digits in the Authentication Data (32 Hex Digits) field.
Cleartext Password - Enter a password in the Authentication Password (Max 16 Chars) field.
A maximum of 16 characters can be used to define a password.
