4.6.8 Dynamic Routing
Dynamic Routing allows the CPE to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network. The CPE, 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 routers on the network.
To enable Dynamic Routing:
1. From the Home screen, click on Advanced.
2. Under Advanced, select Dynamic Routing.
3. Specify the Protocol. 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.
4. Specify the Direction. This determines the direction that RIP routes will be updated. Selecting In means that the
CPE will only incorporate received RIP information. Selecting Out means that the CPE will only send out RIP
information. Selecting both means that the CPE will incorporate received RIP information and send out updated
RIP information.
