Routing Protocol (RIP)

RIP sends routing-update messages at regular intervals and when the
network topology changes. When a router receives a routing update that
includes changes to an entry, it updates its routing table to reflect the
new route. RIP routers maintain only the best route (the route with the
lowest metric value) to a destination.

ΠStatic Route

You can set up static route table for some fixed
domain address path.

1. Network: Specify the destination host.

2. Netmask: Specify a subnet mask value to be associated with

this route entry.

The subnet mask specifies which bits of the 32-bit binary IP address
represent network information. Most sites should use 255.255.255.0
for their subnet mask.

3. Gateway: Use the Gateway Address field to specify the IP

address of the default IP gateway.

4. Click Add button to save information. The configuration page

adds a new row to show this setting. You can click Delete
button to delete a chosen setting. Or you can click Replace
button to replace original setting.

5. Click the OK button to store your modified configuration in

this ADSL router memory. Or click Cancel button to return to
main page.
