Dynamic Routing
The Dynamic Routing feature allows your NetComm NB5580/W to exchange routing
information with other routers in the network. Enabling this feature is likely to enhance
performance of your NetComm NB5580/W when used in a multi routed network.
■
TX From the drop-down list, select one of the routing information types, "RIP-1",
"RIP-1 Compatible", or "RIP-2", to enable the "TX" (transmit) function. "RIP-1"
is the protocol used by older routers and newer routers should use "RIP-2". "RIP-1
Compatible" serves to broadcast RIP-1 and multicast RIP-2.
■
RX From the drop-down list, select one of the routing information types, "RIP-1"
or "RIP-2", to enable the "RX" (receive) function.
Click "Apply" after making any changes.

Static Routing
The Static Routing feature allows computers that are connected to the NetComm
NB5580/W directly or through a hub/switch (on the immediate LAN) to communicate
with other computers in the respective LAN segment which are connected to the
NetComm NB5580/W through another router (destination LAN). Up to 20 route entries
may be entered into the NetComm NB5580/W. The diagram below gives an example of
the physical connections required to use Static Routing.
