RIP distribution access lists consist of rules that specify how a router distributes and accepts RIP routing information from other routers. Before sending an update, the router consults an access list to determine if it should include specific routes in the update. When receiving an update, the router first checks a set of rules which apply to incoming updates to determine if it should insert those routes into its routing table. You can assign the rules per interface and per direction.

You can configure up to 99 RIP distribution access lists on the Branch Gateway.
