3.1.3 - Router Management
A router is either a special electronic unit, or a suitably configured host
computer, which enables data to be sent across two or more distinct physical
networks.
One router can be nominated as the 'default router' and then used to access
any networks. Use of a default router simplifies site network administration. The
default router is only identified by its IP address.
However additional routers can also be declared, to reach specific destination
hosts or networks. Any such router must be identified with 3 parameters:
- the router’s IP address.
- the destination IP address.
- the destination type (a simple host or an entire network).
