Routing
You can choose to setup your GlobeSurfer 3G to use static or dynamic routing.
Dynamic routing automatically adjusts how packets travel on the network,
whereas static routing specifies a fixed routing path to neighboring destina-
tions.

routing.
Device metric
The device metric is a value used by the GlobeSurfer 3G to de-
termine whether one route is superior to another, considering parameters
such as bandwidth, delay, and more.
Default route
Select this check box to define this device as the default route.
Multicast - IGMP proxy internal
IGMP proxy enables the system to issue IGMP
host messages on behalf of hosts that the system discovered through stan-
dard IGMP interfaces. IGMP proxy enables the routing of multicast pack-
ets according to the IGMP requests of LAN devices asking to join multi-
cast groups. Select the
Multicast IGMP proxy internal
check-box to enable
this feature.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
Select this check box to enable the Rout-
ing Information Protocol (RIP). RIP determines a route based on the small-
est hop count between source and destination. When RIP is enabled, se-
lect the following:
• Listen to RIP messages - select
None
,
RIPv1
,
RIPv2
or
RIPv1/2
.
• Send RIP messages - select
None
,
RIPv1
,
RIPv2-broadcast
or
RIPv2-
multicast
.
Routing table
