Configuring RDP

Configuring RDP

You can use Router Discovery Protocol (RDP), a standard protocol, to inform hosts of the presence of routers to which they can send packets. You can also use RDP instead of host wiretapping routing protocols (for example, RIP). It is used instead of, or in addition to, having statically configured default routes in hosts.

RDP consists of two portions: the server portion, which runs on routers, and the client portion, which runs on hosts. gated treats these portions as separate protocols; therefore, you can enable only one of them at a time. These portions are described in detail in the subsequent sections.

For a description of the RDP configuration statements, type man 4 gated.conf at the HP-UX prompt.

RDP Server

The RDP server runs on routers, and announces the routers’ existence to hosts periodically by multicasting or broadcasting a router advertisement. The advertisement is sent over an RDP server enabled physical interface. Each router advertisement contains a list of all addresses on a physical interface and their preference for being used as a default router. You can configure the length of time (the lifetime) for which addresses must remain on the list.

At first, router advertisements occur every few seconds, and then, they start occurring few minutes. You can configure the minimum and maximum intervals for router advertisements to occur. Also, a host can send a router solicitation, requesting an advertisement. The router responds with a unicast router advertisement unless a multicast or broadcast advertisement is due to occur.

On hosts that support IP multicasting, router advertisements are sent by default to the all-hosts mulicast address 224.0.0.1. You can also configuration RDP to use broadcasting to send router advertisements. This is useful when a particular host does not support IP multicasting, or when one or more hosts on an attached network do not support IP multicasting. If router advertisements are sent to the all-hosts multicast address, or if an interface is configured for the limited-broadcast address 255.255.255.255, the advertisements contain all the IP addresses
