104 NetWare TCP/IP Administration Guide
To configure your router as an OSPF router, see
page 63.
To configure a mixed RIP-OSPF environment, refer to both of the
preceding procedures.
Whether to use static routes on a router
Static routes are useful for reducing routing traffic, providing security,
accessing isolated networks, and operating as backup routes on routers.
Static routes are required for on-demand connections.
To configure static routes on a router, see
LANs" on page 69.
Whether to filter routes or various TCP/IP packets
Enable filters when you want to do either of the following:
Control access to any services, such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP),
on your network
Reduce the bandwidth consumed by routing traffic
To configure TCP/IP filters, you must enable the Filtering Support
parameter in INETCFG and then load the Filter Configuration utility
(FILTCFG).
Whether to configure router discovery
Router discovery enables end nodes to find an IP router on their network.
If your computer is operating as a router, it can advertise itself
periodically as a router. If your computer is operating as an end node, it
can send queries to locate a router.
To configure router discovery, see
page 76.
Whether to disable Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) or enable
Proxy ARP
ARP is a LAN protocol that maps Internet addresses to physical
addresses. IP routers and end nodes use ARP to determine a destination
node's physical address.
An IP router using Proxy ARP replies to ARP requests it receives through
an interface on behalf of an end node on a network attached to another
interface.
To change the default settings of ARP and Proxy ARP features, see
