Both IP routers and end nodes can use the ICMP Router Discovery Protocol.
Routers use it to advertise themselves as an IP router and to answer queries
from end nodes. End nodes use it to locate an IP router on their network. Your
system acts as a router when Packet Forwarding is enabled for IP and acts as
an end node when Packet Forwarding is disabled for IP.
NOTE:
For an end node to locate an IP router by this method, it must also support
the ICMP Router Discovery Protocol.
To configure router discovery on an interface do the following:
1
Load INETCFG and then select Bindings > an existing binding > Expert
TCP/IP Bind Options > Router Discovery Options.
2
Select the Status field > Enabled.
3
Select Destination Address.
This is the method by which the IP router or end node sends router
discovery packets.
4
Select one of the following options:
Broadcast—Sends the packets to all nodes on the network.
Router Discovery Multicast—Sends the packets to an IP multicast
address used specifically for router discovery exchanges. The
packets are received only by nodes that understand this multicast
address.
