This chapter describes how to set up RIP and OSPF routing protocols for the ZyWALL.
9.1 Routing Protocol Overview
Routing protocols give the ZyWALL routing information about the network from other
routers. The ZyWALL then stores this routing information in the routing table, which it uses
when it makes routing decisions. In turn, the ZyWALL can also provide routing information
via routing protocols to other routers.
The ZyWALL supports two standards, RIP and OSPF, for routing protocols. RIP and OSPF
are compared in
