pfSense with FRR not sending RIP advertisements

gp flag

I've been banging my head against this for a week, on and off.

I have a pair of pfSense firewalls (2.6.0-RELEASE) configured for high availability. They support an internal LAN, a DMZ, an OpenVPN server, the SYNC interface and are multi-homed (although one is not yet active).

I've been trying to get them to advertise routes to the DMZ and the OpenVPN connection onto the LAN interface with RIP. This is the configuration reported by FRR:

###################################################################
# This file was created by an automatic configuration generator.  #

###################################################################
!
frr defaults traditional
hostname pfsfw-a.xxx.com
password xxxxxxxx
service integrated-vtysh-config
!
ip router-id 192.168.7.243
!
interface igb4
 ip rip send version 2
 ip rip receive version 2
!
router rip
 
 version 2
 network 192.168.128.0/24
 network 192.168.131.0/24
!
line vty
!
end

igb4 is the LAN interface, the DMZ is 192.168.128.0/24 on igb0, and OpenVPN is using 192.168.131.0.

I see no sign of any RIP packets on other routers, or using WireShark. Wireshark does capture other packets from the igb4 interface.

I've tried setting up prefix lists and ACLs, but I'm not clear how these relate to the RIP configuration. Changing them doesn't seem to affect the configuration I've listed, and it makes no difference whether I configure them or not.

I haven't set up any Firewall rules for this. I'd be happy if I can get broadcasts sent out for now.

I'm sure I'm missing something, but I don't know what.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
