manual. The router stores all the routing information in the form of a
routing table. Routing tables contain the routes to reach a particular
network, and also identify the router to which the datagram packet can
be passed for this purpose. The routing tables must contain the latest
routing information. Routing protocols perform the task of updating the
routing tables with the latest routing information.
The primary function of a routing protocol is to exchange routing
information with other routers. Routing daemons perform the task of
exchanging routing information with other routers. The routing daemons
supported on the HP-UX 11i v2 operating system are mrouted and gated
3.5.9.
A detailed description of the routing daemons, their configuration and
troubleshooting information is provided in this manual.
