If you accept RIPs from dial in clients, they can spoof a RIP and down your
entire network.
This is a risk most people do not wish to make. If the client has just
misconfigured their router and send a RIP to you which matches a network on
your rip network, your network might also go down.
Use the "Framed-Route" entry in Radius for any static routes you need added
for a particular routed user. It will dynamically add the route to the PMs
when the user dials in, and remove it afterwards.
Check the manuals for how to use the "Framed-Route" attribute in Radius.
