IP Routing IP Routing is a method for distributing traffic throughout an IP network. It
is used to join LANs at the network layer, that is Layer 3 of the OSI (Open
Systems Interconnection) model. Your Switch is optimized for Layer 3
edge configurations and has only limited functionality as a core switch.
Dynamic Routing Dynamic routing allows the Switch to adjust automatically to changes in
network topology or traffic.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
RIP is a dynamic routing protocol that allows the Switch to adjust
automatically to changes in network topology or traffic. Routes are
calculated between networks automatically.
