I am trying to configure RIP between a PC6224 and our firewall (Watchguard XTM510) to test if we can use RIP for simple, but automatic failover situations. I've configured the 6224 and our firewall with RIP, but no routes are being exchanged. My first thought was that our firewall was misconfigured, Watchguard took a look at the configuration and I was being told that the firewall is not receiving any route / RIP updates. So my next step is to call in some help of Dell support to verify the RIP configuration on the 6224 as well.
show ip rip:
RIP Admin Mode................................. Enable
Split Horizon Mode............................. Simple
Auto Summary Mode.............................. Disable
Host Routes Accept Mode........................ Enable
Global route changes........................... 1
Global queries................................. 0
Default Metric................................. Not configured
Default Route Advertise........................ 0
Show ip rip interface vlan 99
Interface...................................... vlan 99
IP Address..................................... 172.16.99.254
Send version................................... RIP-2
Receive version................................ RIP-2
RIP Admin Mode................................. Enable
Link State..................................... Up
Authentication Type............................ None
Bad Packets Received........................... 0
Bad Routes Received............................ 0
Updates Sent................................... 22091
The firewall is directly connected to the 6224. RIP communication should go via VLAN 99. Direct communication via VLAN99 is possible....
VLAN 99 configuration:
interface vlan 99 routing ip address 172.16.99.254 255.255.255.0 ip rip exit
show ip route rip all is empty.
Is there a way to troubleshoot RIP communication further? I my opinion, this configuration should work...
