6.3.7 Dynamic Routing
Introduction
Dynamic Routing can be used to cache routes learned by routing protocols, thus allowing the automation of
static routing maintenance. The Thomson Gateway, using the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) protocol,
determines the network packet's route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the
destination. In this case, you can allow the Thomson Gateway to automatically adjust its ranking to physical
changes in the network layout.
Enabling Dynamic Routing
Proceed as follows:
1 Choose the following parameters:
 Working Mode:
Choose the function mode of the Thomson Gateway: working as either a Router or a Gateway.
 Listen Mode:
Enable this mode to allow RIP server to receive routing information and updating the routing
information. You can choose among the three types of Routing Information Protocol: RIP1, RIP2 or
Both(RIP1+RIP2).
 Supply Mode:
Enable this mode to allow RIP server to send routing information and updating the routing
information. You can choose among the three types of Routing Information Protocol: RIP1, RIP2 or
Both(RIP1+RIP2).
