Advanced>Dynamic Routing
Dynamic Routing makes use of the RIP Protocol to allow the ADSL Router to
automatically adjust to physical changes in the network. The NB1, using the RIP
protocol, will determine the network packet route based on the least number of
hops between the Source and the Destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts
routing information to other Routers on the network and is part of the IP Suite.
To access Dynamic Routing click Advanced>Dynamic Routing.
