With Dynamic Routing you can automatically adjust to physical changes in the
network’s layout. Using RIP protocol, the router determines the route of the
network packets based on the fewest number of hops between the source and
the destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to
other routers on the network. To set up Dynamic Routing:
1. Choose the correct working mode. Use Gateway Mode if your Router is
hosting your network’s connection to the Internet. Use Router Mode if the
router exists on a network with other routers.
2. In
the
TX field, choose the protocol by which you transmit data on the net-
work.
3. In
the
RX field, choose the protocol by which you receive data on the net-
work.
4. Click
the
Apply button to save your changes.
