ZyWALL / USG (ZLD) CLI Reference Guide 129
CHAPTER 16
Routing Protocol
This chapter describes how to set up RIP and OSPF routing protocols for the ZyWALL / USG.
16.1 Routing Protocol Overview
Routing protocols give the ZyWALL / USG routing information about the network from other
routers. The ZyWALL / USG then stores this routing information in the routing table, which it uses
when it makes routing decisions. In turn, the ZyWALL / USG can also provide routing information
via routing protocols to other routers.
The ZyWALL / USG supports two standards, RIP and OSPF, for routing protocols. RIP and OSPF are
compared in Table 63 on page 129, and they are discussed further in the next two sections.
16.2 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 63 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
