8.5 Route

If the Router is connected to more than one network, it may be necessary to set up a
static route between them. A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network
information must travel to reach a specific host or network.
With Dynamic Routing, you can enable the Router to automatically adjust to physical
changes in the network's layout. The Router, using the RIP protocol, determines the
network packets' route based on the least number of hops between the source and the
destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other routers
on the network.

This parameter determines how RIP (Routing Information
Protocol) is handled. RIP allows it to exchange routing
information with other routers. If set to Disable, the gateway
does not participate in any RIP exchange with other routers.
If set to Enable, the router broadcasts the routing table of the
router on the LAN and incorporates RIP broadcasts by other
routers into it's routing table. If set to silent, the router does
not broadcast the routing table, but it accepts RIP broadcast
packets that it receives.
