3.7.15 Dynamic Routing
The dynamic routing feature enables the SOHOSpeed to dynamically define routes for WAN
and LAN subnets. Dynamic routing uses routing information protocol (RIP) for exchanging
routing information with other routers in the network. It is supported across both WAN and
LAN interfaces. Any RIP-enabled router sends out automatic update packets containing its
own routing table on a periodic basis (every 30 secs). Similarly, it accepts such periodic
updates from other routers and adds, deletes, or modifies routes in its own routing table
accordingly. The router is also expected to receive requests for its routing table and respond
accordingly. Use the Dynamic Routing page to define dynamic routing routes for the available
interfaces.

but not to routers using RIP v2 protocol.
