Configuring the RIP Version
In ASDM, you can specify the version of RIP used by the ASA by performing the following steps:
Step 1 In the main ASDM window, choose Configuration > Device Setup > Routing > RIP > Setup.
Step 2 Check the Enable RIP routing check box, and click Apply.
Step 3 Check the Enable RIP version check box.
Checking this check box specifies the version of RIP used by the ASA. If this check box is unchecked,
then the ASA sends RIP Version 1 updates and accepts RIP Version 1 and Version 2 updates. This setting
can be overridden on a per-interface basis in the Interface pane. For more information about configuring
interfaces, see the “Configuring Interfaces for RIP” section on page 28-5. Indicate the version of RIP to
be used by choosing one of the following:
• Version 1, which specifies that the ASA only sends and receives RIP Version 1 updates. Any Version
2 updates received are dropped.
• Version 2, which specifies that the ASA only sends and receives RIP Version 2 updates. Any Version
1 updates received are dropped.
Step 4 Click Apply.
Configuring Interfaces for RIP
If you have an interface that you do not want to have participate in RIP routing, but that is attached to a
network that you want advertised, you can configure the network that includes the network to which the
interface is attached, and configure the passive interfaces to prevent that interface from using RIP.
Additionally, you can specify the version of RIP that is used by the ASA for updates.
In ASDM, you can configure an interface in RIP used by the ASA so that all interfaces on the ASA are
set to passive RIP mode. The ASA listens for RIP routing broadcasts on all interfaces and uses that
information to populate the routing tables but do not broadcast routing updates. To set specific interfaces
to passive RIP, perform the following steps:
Step 1 In the main ASDM window, choose Configuration > Device Setup > Routing > RIP > Setup.
Step 2 Check the Enable RIP routing check box.
Step 3 In the Passive Interfaces area, check the check box in the Passive column for those interfaces that you
want to have operate in passive mode. The other interfaces will still send and receive RIP broadcasts.
Step 4 Click Apply.
