IP Routing

Configuration

Guide

The SSR supports standards-based TCP, UDP, and IP. This chapter describes how to configure IP interfaces and general non-protocol-specific routing parameters.

IP Routing Protocols

The SSR supports standards-based unicast and multicast routing. Unicast routing protocol support includes Interior Gateway Protocols and Exterior Gateway Protocols. Multicast routing protocols are used to determine how multicast data is transferred in a routed environment.

Unicast Routing Protocols

Interior Gateway Protocols are used for routing networks that are within an “autonomous system,” a network of relatively limited size. All IP interior gateway protocols must be specified with a list of associated networks before routing activities can begin. A routing process listens to updates from other routers on these networks and broadcasts its own routing information on those same networks. The SSR supports the following Interior Gateway Protocols:

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Version 1, 2 (RFC 1058, 1723). Configuring RIP for the SSR is described in Chapter 10.

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Version 2 (RFC 1583). Configuring OSPF for the SSR is described in Chapter 11.
