4.6.9 Dynamic Routing
Dynamic Routing allows the ADSL router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network. The ADSL router, using the RIP protocol, determines the network packets’ route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other routers on the network.
The Direction determines the direction that RIP routes will be updated. Selecting In means that the ADSL router will only incorporate received RIP information. Selecting Out means that the ADSL router will only send out RIP information. Selecting both means that the ADSL router will incorporate received RIP information and send out updated RIP information.
The protocol is dependent on the entire network. selected, routing data will be sent in RIP v1 format.
Most networks support RIP v1. If RIP v1 is If RIP v2 is selected, routing data will be sent
