Routing

The ProCurve Secure Router stores routes in a route table, which it uses to
route traffic from one network to another. Each route includes:
destination IP address and subnet mask
administrative distance—the reliability of the route
metric—the cost of reaching the destination
next hop address or forwarding interface
type—how the router learned the route
The router automatically adds directly connected networks to its route table.
It must learn routes to all other networks to which it will forward traffic. A
router can learn:
static routes, which you add manually
dynamic routes, which it discovers using a routing protocol
The ProCurve Secure Router supports these dynamic routing protocols:
Routing Internet Protocol (RIP) versions 1 and 2
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) version 2
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) version 4
You can use one or more routing protocols in conjunction with each other and
with static routing. For example, OSPF is an internal gateway protocol (IGP).
You can use OSPF in your private network and BGP to advertise routes to your
Internet service provider (ISP).
This section explains how to configure dynamic routing.

Configuring RIP

1. Select Routing under Router/Bridge in the left navigation bar.
2. Move to the Dynamic Routing Protocols window and click the Configure
