Dynamic Routing - Linksys BEFVP41 User Manual

Using Port Triggering
From the Forwarding screen, click the Port Triggering button to open the Port
Triggering screen, shown in Figure 6-32. Port triggering allows the Router to
watch outgoing data for specific port numbers. The IP address of the comput-
er that sends the matching data is remembered by the Router, so that when the
requested data returns through the firewall, the data is pulled back to the prop-
er computer by way of IP address and port mapping rules.
1. Enter the Application Name of the trigger.
2. Enter the Trigger Port Range used by the application.
3. Enter the Incoming Port Range used by the application.
4. Click the Apply button and Continue button to finish.

Dynamic Routing

With Dynamic Routing (set from the Dynamic Routing screen, shown in Figure
6-33), you can automatically adjust to physical changes in the network's layout.
The Router, using the RIP protocol, determines the network packets' route
based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination.
The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other routers on
the network. To set up Dynamic Routing:
1. Choose the correct working mode. Gateway Mode should be used if the
Router is hosting your network's connection to the Internet. Router Mode
should be selected if the Router exists on a network with other routers.
2. Choose the protocol by which you transmit (TX) data on the network.
3. Choose the protocol by which the Router receives (RX) network data.
4. Click the Apply button and Continue button to save your changes.
