From the Dynamic
Routing tab, shown
in Figure 5-19, you
can automatically
adjust to physical
changes in the net-
work’s layout. The
Router, using the
RIP protocol,
determines the net-
work packets’
route based on the
fewest number of
hops between the
source and the des-
tination. The RIP
protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other routers on the net-
work. To set up Dynamic Routing:
1. Choose the correct Working Mode. Gateway Mode should be used if the
Router is hosting your network’s connection to the Internet. Router Mode
should be selected 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 the Router receives network
data.
4. Click the Apply button to save your changes.
To view the Routing Table, which shows the network layout, click the Show
Routing Table button.
To clear any values you’ve entered on any page, click the Cancel button. To
apply any settings you’ve altered on any page, click the Apply button.

Port Triggering
From the Port Range
Forwarding tab, shown
in Figure 5-18, click
the Port Triggering
button to allow the
Router to watch out-
going data for specific
port numbers. The IP
address of the comput-
er that sends the
matching data is
remembered by the
Router, so that when
the requested data
returns through the Router, the data is pulled back to the proper computer by
way of IP address and port mapping rules.
1. Enter the Application Name of the trigger.
2. Enter the Trigger Port Range used by the application. Check with the
Internet application for the port number needed.
3. Enter the Incoming Port Range used by the application. Check with the
Internet application for the port number needed.
4. Click the Apply button.
