packets between the local LAN interface and one or more Remote Sites.
The router maintains a forwarding table. This table specifies which
interface to route an IP packet based on the destination IP address.
Entries in the forwarding table are either static or dynamic. Static entries
are based on the LAN's and Remote Site's subnet addresses and user
configured static routes. Dynamic entries are added when Routing
Information Protocol (RIP) is enabled and routes are learned from
neighboring routers.
