Configure RIP

[imanco671]

Hello Community,

I have an ASA 5510 and a Catalyst 3560, I want to enable RIP for a number of routes.

I have a 4 VPN tunnel routes that are handled by a Sonicwall router who does not have RIP. So I guess these will have to be statically assigned to the ASA and L3 switch, while RIP would be handled by only the L3 and ASA.

I think I can only use RIP for the subnets which use the ASA as their gateway

These are: 192.168.202.0, 192.168.201.0

Is it as easy as running the commands?

Router(config)#router rip

Router(config-router)#network 192.168.0.0

Router(config-router)#timers basic 30 180 180 240

Router(config-router)#passive-interface Fa0/0

I am not sure if my ASA handles v2. Should I even consider?

Attached below is a picture of my network. you can see that there are 4 firewalls, but I am only considering using the ASA and L3.

It won't include the static routes unless you redistributing them.

Okay, do I have to insert my static routes on both then redistribute into RIP?

or do I just have to input the static routes on the ASA and redistribute into RIP and then the L3 switch will learn them?

How would I redistribute them into RIP?

[Edison Ortiz]

Looking at your diagram once again, you don't need to redistribute the statics. Both devices have their subnets directly connected so they should be able to reach the subnets you have pointing to the Sonicwall via the static routes.

Does this look okay in my show run?

assuming the statics are networks located in the sonicwall, yes...

btw, we agreed that you don't need to redistribute the statics into RIP if you are going with statics on the L3 switch as well..

[imanco671]

okay, so I will just manually assign statics to both ASA and to the L3 switch.

But how come my ASA does nto show my RIP routes that my L3 has? I though they will automatically share them?
