Dynamic Routing - Linksys BEFVP41 User Manual

Using Port Triggering
Port triggering allows the Router to watch outgoing data for specific port num-
bers. The IP address of the computer that sends the matching data is remem-
bered by the Router, so that when the requested data returns through the fire-
wall, the data is pulled back to the proper 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

Figure 6-33
With Dynamic Routing 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.
