Core
Figure 133: Core Menu
The Core routing daemon handles communications between the kernel of the router
and the other dynamic routing protocols. Core handles link detection and monitoring
static routes and routes for directly connected interfaces on the router. It also manages
adding routes to the kernel routing table based on the routes discovered by other
dynamic routing protocols. Core is always enabled whenever dynamic routing is
enabled as it is required by all other dynamic routing protocols.
Core Global Parameters
Figure 134: Core Global Parameters
The Enable Password field sets the password to be used for the enable command of
core. This is used by the telnet interface of core to control access to the configuration.
The Telnet Password field sets the password to be used for telnet access to core.
This is used as the login password of core when locally telnetting to port 2601 of the
router.
The Hostname field sets the hostname for the core daemon. This value is only used
as a a reference for convenience. The telnet interface prompt will contain this
hostname. The router's system wide hostname is used if this field is left blank.
The Router Id field sets the router-id to use for the core daemon. This value is used
as a unique identifier for the dynamic routing protocol to identify which router sent
which route advertisement. By default it uses the highest IP assigned to an interface
on the router. It is recommended that this value be set to a unique fixed IP on each
router.
