Configuring Dynamic Routing
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that is
commonly used in internal networks. It allows the router to exchange its routing
information automatically with other routers, and allows it to dynamically adjust its
routing tables and adapt to changes in the network.
Dynamic Routing (RIP) enables the Cisco RV215W to automatically adjust to
physical changes in the network layout and exchange routing tables with the other
routers.
The router determines the network packets’ route based on the fewest number of
hops between the source and the destination. RIP is disabled by default.
NOTE RIP is disabled by default on the Cisco RV215W.
To configure dynamic routing:
STEP 1 Choose Networking > Routing.
STEP 2 Configure the following settings:
Gateway (Recommended) Click this button to set the
Cisco RV215W to act as a gateway.
Keep this default setting if the Cisco RV215W is
hosting your network connection to the Internet
and is performing the routing functions.
Router (For advanced users only) Click this button to set
the Cisco RV215W to act as a router.
Select this option if the Cisco RV215W is on a
network with other routers.
Enabling the Router mode disables NAT (Network
Address Translation) on the Cisco RV215W.
