SonicWALL 3 manual Routing Table

CHAPTER 13: Configuring Static Routes

2Select one of the following types of RIP Advertisements:

ŠRIPv1 Enabled - RIPv1 is the first version of Routing Information Protocol.

ŠRIPv2 Enabled (multicast) - to send route advertisements using multicasting (a single data packet to specific notes on the network).

ŠRIPv2 Enabled (broadcast) - to send route advertisements using broadcasting (a single data packet to all nodes on the network).

3Enable Advertise Static Routes if you have static routes configured on the SonicWALL security appliance, enable this feature to exclude them from Route Advertisement.

4Enter a value in seconds between advertisements broadcasted over a network in the Route Change Damp Time (seconds) field. The default value is 30 seconds. A lower value corresponds with a higher volume of broadcast traffic over the network. The Route Change Damp Time (seconds) setting defines the delay between the time a VPN tunnel changes state (up or down) and the time the change is advertised with RIP. The delay, in seconds, prevents ambiguous route advertisements sent as a result of temporary change in the VPN tunnel status.

5Enter the number of advertisements that a deleted route broadcasts until it stops in the Deleted Route Advertisements (0-99) field. The default value is 1.

6Enter a value from 1 to 15 in the Route Metric (1-15)field. This is the number of times a packet touches a router from the source IP address to the destination IP address.

7If RIPv2 is selected from the Route Advertisements menu, you can enter a value for the route tag in the RIPv2 Route Tag (4 HEX Digits) field. This value is implementation-dependent and provides a mechanism for routers to classify the originators of RIPv2 advertisements. This field is optional.

8If you wan to enable RIPv2 authentication, select one of the following options from the RIPv2 Authentication menu:

ŠUser defined - Enter 4 hex digits in the Authentication Type (4 hex digits) field. Enter 32 hex digits in the Authentication Data (32 Hex Digits) field.

ŠCleartext Password - Enter a password in the Authentication Password (Max 16 Chars) field. A maximum of 16 characters can be used to define a password.

ŠMD5 Digest - Enter a numerical value from 0-255 in the Authentication Key-Id (0-255) field. Enter a 32 hex digit value for the Authentication Key (32 hex digits) field, or use the generated key.

9Click OK.

Routing Table

The Routing Table is a list of destinations that the IP software maintains on each host and router.

The network IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, and the corresponding link are displayed.

Most of the entries are the result of configuring LAN, WAN, and OPT network settings. The SonicWALL security appliance LAN, WAN, and OPT IP addresses are displayed as permanently published at all times.
