Dynamic Routing
Dynamic Routing makes use of the RIP Protocol to allow the ADSL Router to automatically adjust
to physical changes in the network. The NB5, using the RIP protocol, will determine the network
packet route based on the fewest number of hops between the Source and the Destination. The RIP
protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other ADSL Routers on the network and is part
of the IP Suite.
To access Dynamic Routing click Advanced>Advanced Features>Dynamic Routing.
Enable RIP: if this box is checked, Dynamic Routing is enabled.
Protocol: choice is dependent upon the network environment. Most networks support Rip v1. If RIP
v1 is selected, routing data will be sent in RIP v1 format. If Rip V2 is selected, routing data will be
sent in RIP v2 format using Subnet Broadcasting. If Rip V1 Compatible is selected, routing data will
be sent in RIP v2 format using Multicasting.
Direction: determines the direction that RIP routes will be updated.
Select 'In': the Router will only incorporate received RIP information.
Select 'Out': the ADSL Router will only send out RIP information.
Select 'Both': the ADSL Router will both incorporate received RIP information and send out updated
RIP information.
