CHAPTER 19
Routing Protocol
This chapter describes how to set up RIP and OSPF routing protocols for the Zyxel Device.
19.1 Routing Protocol Overview
Routing protocols give the Zyxel Device routing information about the network from other routers. The
Zyxel Device then stores this routing information in the routing table, which it uses when it makes routing
decisions. In turn, the Zyxel Device can also provide routing information via routing protocols to other
routers.
The Zyxel Device supports two standards, RIP and OSPF, for routing protocols. RIP and OSPF are
compared in Table 85 on page 179, and they are discussed further in the next two sections.
19.2 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 85 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
