OSPF
: OSPF is an interior gateway protocol that routes Internet Protocol (IP) packets
solely within a single routing domain (autonomous system). It gathers link state
information from available routers and constructs a topology map of the network. The
topology determines the routing table presented to the Internet Layer which makes
routing decisions based solely on the destination IP address found in IP packets.
You can enable the OSPF routing function by clicking on the “Setting” button and fill in
the corresponding setting for your OSPF routing configuration. When you finished
setting, click on
“Save”
to store your settings or click
“Undo”
to give up the changes.

BGP
: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the protocol backing the core routing decisions
on the Internet. It maintains a table of IP networks or 'prefixes' which designate network
reach-ability among autonomous systems (AS). It is described as a path vector protocol.
BGP does not use traditional Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) metrics, but makes routing
decisions based on path, network policies and/or rule-sets. For this reason, it is more
appropriately termed a reach-ability protocol rather than routing protocol.
