Selecting Routing from the left menu bar brings up the routing configuration page. The Routing
screen is used to enable or disable Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Virtual Router
Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) routing. Static route tables are also created from the Routing screen
and appear at the bottom. Static Routing refers to a manual method used to set up routing between
networks.

RIP Routing
RIP Enable:
Selecting Enable will allow the RIP functionality. Selecting Disable will shut off RIP functionality. RIP
allows the router to dynamically adapt to changes in network connections by communicating
information about which networks each router can reach and how far away those networks are. The
SAVE button must be pressed for changes to take effect.
VRRP Configuration
VRRP Enable:
Selecting Enable will allow the VRRP functionality. Selecting Disable will shut off VRRP functionality.
VRRP specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for a virtual router to one
of the VRRP routers on a LAN. The SAVE button must be pressed for changes to take effect.
