Dynamic Routing

With Dynamic Routing you can automatically adjust to physical changes in the network's layout. The router, using the RIP protocol, determines the net- work packets’ route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing informa- tion to other routers on the network. To set up Dynamic Routing:

1.Choose the correct working mode. Gateway Mode should be used if your Linksys router is hosting your network's connection to the Internet. Router Mode should be selected if the router exists on a network with other routers.

2.Choose the protocol by which you transmit data on the network.

3.Choose the protocol by which the Router receives network data.

4.Click the Apply button to save your changes.
