IP ROUTING WITH THE EXPRESS 5210
The Express 5210 contains an IP router function to resolve paths for
IP packets received. This function is used regardless of
encapsulation protocol and port received from.
The heart of the routing system is a routing table which can be
generated manually, automatically, or a combination of the two.
Manual entry is preferred in cases where there are few routes. This
minimizes traffic created by routing protocols used in the
automatic method. The automatic method cuts down on manual
entry for large route tables and allows for routes to be changed
without service interruption.
Another important element in routing is the default gateway route.
This is used while routes are being formed automatically and is a
convenient way to direct all IP packets in cases where only one
route is needed.
Routing internet protocol (RIP) can be enabled for each port
configured for IP encapsulation. The RIP (IP S
-> RIP) parameter enables the Express 5210 to share the internal
routing table with other routers and FRADs attached to the port if
set to Tx. The RIP parameter enables the Express 5210 to process
routing table information from other routers and FRADs attached
to the port. See the section Interfaces on page 12-7 for more
information on configuring the RIP options.
