RIP protocol
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is an IP routing protocol that allows each router or a network equipment to
know the route to another network.
Principle of operation :
Routing table broadcasting
Each router transmits to neighboring routers and neighboring RIP listeners, is routing table.
Routing table update
Each router updates its own table using the information received from the other.
RIP prevents to declare static routes in each router.
To enable RIP,
•
In the menu, choose
Setup > IP protocol and routing > RIP
.
•
Tick the
Enable RIP
checkbox.
When enabled, RIP runs on all Ethernet ports, LAN or SHDSL, regardless whether the router mode is enabled
or not.
14.4
OSPF protocol
The OSPF protocol performs the same function as RIP but is used on more complex network configuration.
The XS supports OSPF but the configuration is done via SSH command line. This is an advanced operating
mode which allows the XS to behave as a very flexible and sophisticated router. For example, it is possible to
bridge any Ethernet port with any SHDSL port and assign different IP addresses for each port.
To enable OSPF,
•
In the menu, choose
Setup > IP protocol and routing > RIP > Advanced routing
.
•
Tick the
Enable advanced routing mode (SSH CLI)
checkbox.
•
In the
Bridge configuration
table, click
Add
…
.
•
Enter the list of interfaces that belong to that bridge.
For each bridges an IP address and a subnet mask will be assigned later.
The rest of the configuration is done via SSH on port 22.
