Advanced Tab: Dynamic Routing

Important: Dynamic Routing is an Advanced Function. No changes should be made to this tab without a thorough under- standing of networking concepts.

From the Dynamic Routing tab, shown in Figure 5-19, you can automatically adjust to physical changes in the net- work’s layout. The Router, using the R I P p r o t o c o l , determines the net-

work packets’ route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the des-

tination. The RIPFigure 5-19

protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other routers on the net- work. To set up Dynamic Routing:

1.Choose the correct Working Mode. Gateway Mode should be used if the 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.In the TX field, choose the protocol by which you transmit data on the net- work.

3.In the RX field, choose the protocol by which the Router receives network data.

4.Click the Apply button to save your changes.

To view the Routing Table, which shows the network layout, click the Show Routing Table button.

To clear any values you’ve entered on any page, click the Cancel button. To apply any settings you’ve altered on any page, click the Apply button.
