Dynamic Routing - 3Com OfficeConnect User Manual

Dynamic Routing

The Router provides support for RIPv1, RIPv2 or both for each
interface, for sending and receiving data, LAN routes are sent on
the LAN subnet, and WAN routes are sent on the WAN subnet.
From the Dynamic Routing screen you can enable the Router to
automatically adjust to physical changes in the networks layout.
Using the RIP protocols, the Router 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 devices on the network.
