UAG CLI Reference Guide 89
CHAPTER 9
Routing Protocol
This chapter describes how to set up RIP and OSPF routing protocols for the UAG.
9.1 Routing Protocol Overview
Routing protocols give the UAG routing information about the network from other routers. The UAG
then stores this routing information in the routing table, which it uses when it makes routing
decisions. In turn, the UAG can also provide routing information via routing protocols to other
routers.
The UAG supports two standards, RIP and OSPF, for routing protocols. RIP and OSPF are compared
in Table 37 on page 89, and they are discussed further in the next two sections.
9.2 Routing Protocol Commands Summary
The following table describes the values required for many routing protocol commands. Other
values are discussed with the corresponding commands.
The following sections list the routing protocol commands.
Table 37 OSPF vs. RIP
OSPF RIP
Network Size Large Small (with up to 15 routers)
Metric Bandwidth, hop count, throughput,
round trip time and reliability.
Hop count
Convergence Fast Slow
