Description

OPNsense 26.7.1_1 os_frr installed and used.

It is not possible to restrict the announcing of routes in the RIP part of the FRR routing stuff.

It is only possible to annonce all:

router rip
default-metric 5
network x.x.x.x/24
passive-interface vlan0.x
passive-interface vlan0.y
passive-interface vlan0.z
redistribute bgp
version 2
exit

There is no option in the GUI to set a route-map for redistribute bgp
So always all routes of the internet are announced.

There should be an option to choose a route-map.

Research direction

Start by tracing the os_frr GUI configuration for RIP redistribution and how it generates the FRR configuration. The change is complete when users can select a route-map for redistributed BGP routes and the generated RIP configuration restricts announcements accordingly.
