Advanced Routing

◆Ref — Number of references to this route.

◆Use — Count of lookups for the route.

◆Interface — Interface to which packets for this route will be sent.

◆Comment — Displays a useful comment to identify the routing rules.

DYNAMIC ROUTE ◆ The Mini 3G Broadband Router supports RIP 1 and RIP 2 dynamic routing protocol. Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is the most widely used method for dynamically maintaining routing tables. RIP uses a distance vector-based approach to routing. Routes are chosen to minimize the distance vector, or hop count, which serves as a rough estimate of transmission cost. Each router broadcasts its advertisement every 30 seconds, together with any updates to its routing table. This allows all routers on the network to build consistent tables of next hop links which lead to relevant subnets.

◆RIP — Enables or disable the RIP protocol for the WAN or LAN interface. (Options: Disable/v1/v2, Default: Disable)
