Setting Up Dynamic Routing

Supported Devices:
Series 3
Dynamic, or adaptive, routing uses a routing protocol to alter the path that a route takes in response to a
change in network conditions. The adaptation is intended to allow as many routes as possible to remain
valid, that is, have destinations that can be reached in response to the change. This allows the network
to “route around” damage, such as loss of a node or a connection between nodes, so long as other path
choices are available. You can configure a router with no dynamic routing, or you can configure the
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) or the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol.
