Dynamic Routing
Dynamic Routing allows the Lynx L-320 to automatically adjust to physical
changes in the network. The Lynx L-320, using the RIP protocol, determines
the network packets’ route based on the fewest number of hops between the
source and the destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing
information to other Lynx L-320s on the network. The Direction determines
the direction that RIP routes will be updated. Selecting In means that the
Lynx L-320 will only incorporate received RIP information. Selecting Out
means that the Lynx L-320 will only send out RIP information. Selecting both
means that the Lynx L-320 will incorporate received RIP information and
send out updated RIP information.
The protocol is dependent upon the entire network. Most networks support
Rip v1. If RIP v1 is selected, routing data will be sent in RIP v1 format. If
Rip V2 is selected, routing data will be sent in RIP v2 format using subnet
broadcasting. If Rip V1 Compatible is selected, routing data will be sent in
RIP v2 format using multicasting. See Fig 1-29.
