Dynamic Routing
Dynamic Routing allows the router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the
network. The router, 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. The Direction
determines the direction that RIP routes will be updated.
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.
