Dynamic Routing

Dynamic Routing allows the iConnect625W router to automatically adjust to physical

changes in the network. It determines the route through which the package travels based

on the least number of hops between the source and the destination. RIP protocol

regularly broadcasts routing information to other routers on the network.

To enable

Dynamic Routing

, follow the steps below.

Step 1

:

From the

Advanced

tab, click the

Dynamic Routing

link provided. The

following page appears:

Step 2:

Check the

Enable RIP

checkbox.

Step 3:

From the

Protocol

drop-down list, select the RIP version as appropriate. The

versions provided are:

RIPv1, RIPv2

and

RIPv1 Compatible

, as shown below.

The same RIP protocol should be used to enable dynamic routing on all routers

on the network.

Step 4:

Check the

Enable Password

checkbox as appropriate.

Step 5:

If you have checked

Enable Password

checkbox, enter a password in the

Password

field. This is an optional field for additional security purposes.

Step 6:

Select the

Direction

for the LAN Group 1 and

MyConnection

interfaces from

the drop-down list. The options are:

None, In, Out

and

Both

.

Step 7:

Click the

Apply

button to apply the settings.

Step 8:

To save your configuration, please refer to the section under

Save / Restart

Menu

.

The following table lists the

Dynamic Routing

screen fields and their definitions:

Field

Description

Enable RIP

This enables RIP routing on the iConnect625W router.

Protocol

There are three versions of RIP:

1. RIP v1 (UDP Protocol)

2. RIP v2 (multicast protocol)

3. RIP v1-Compatible (UDP Protocol with multicast format)

Routers using RIP v1 or RIP v1-Compatible protocol can talk

to each other, but not to routers using RIP v2 protocol.

Direction determines the means through which RIP routers will

be updated. Select one of the options below.

In

Selecting

In

means that the iConnect625W router will

only incorporate received RIP information.

Out

Selecting

Out

means that the iConnect625W router

will only send out RIP information.

Both

Selecting

Both

means that the iConnect625W router

will incorporate received RIP information and send

out updated RIP information.

Direction

None

Select this option if the function is not required.

Enable Password

Simple password authentication for RIP v2 was defined in RFC

1723. If you intend to use password authentication, you must

enable your password here.

Password

Type the RIPv2 authentication password here. Ensure that all

routers are configured with this password for RIPv2 to work.

Policy Database

The Policy Database page enables you to configure policy routing and QoS. Policy

Database involves routing packets on the basis of various fields in the packet. For

example, the current routing algorithms make decisions based on the destination

address, i.e. only the Destination IP Address and subnet mask are supported.

To configure

Policy Database

, follow the steps below.

Step 1

:

From the

Advanced

tab, click the

Policy Database

link provided. The following

page appears:

Step 2:

Select the incoming traffic interface from the

Ingress Interface

drop-down list.

The options are:

LAN Interfaces, WAN Interfaces, Locally generated

and

Not

Applicable (N/A

).

Step 3:

Select the outgoing connection from the

Destination Interface

drop-down list.

Step 4:

Enter the

DiffServ Code Point

in the field provided. This has to be configured

in conjunction with other fields like the

Source MAC, IP

and

Ingress Interface

.

Step 5:

Enter the Source IP and netmask addresses in the

Source IP

and

Mask

fields.

Step 6:

Select the protocol for the interface from the

Protocol

drop-down list. The

options are:

TCP, UDP, ICMP, None

or

Specify

.

Step 7:

If you have selected the option:

Specify

in the previous step, you have to enter

the protocol number in the box next to

Protocol

.

Step 8:

Enter the

Source

and

Destination ports

in the respective fields.

Step 9:

Enter the source MAC address into the

Source MAC

field.

Step 10:

Enter the

Local Routing Mark

field if

Locally Generated Ingress Interface

was

previously selected.

Step 11:

Select the

Class of Service

from the drop-down list. The options range from

CoS1

to

CoS6

.

Step 12:

Enter the Destination IP and netmask addresses in the

Destination IP

and

Mask

fields.

Step 13:

Click the

Apply

button to apply the settings.

Step 14:

To save your configuration, please refer to the section under

The following table lists the

Policy Database

screen fields and their definitions:

Field

Description

Source Information

Ingress Interface

The incoming traffic interface for a Policy Database rule. The

options include

LAN Interfaces, WAN Interfaces, Locally

generated

(traffic), and

Not Applicable

.

DiffServ Code Point

The DiffServ Code Point or DSCP value ranges from

1

to

255

.

This field cannot be configured alone. Additional fields like

IP,

Source MAC

and/or

Ingress Interface

should be configured at

the same time.

Source IP

The IP address of the traffic source,

Mask

This is the Source IP netmask. This field is mandatory if the

Source IP has been entered.

Protocol

The selections are:

TCP, UDP, ICMP, Specify

and

None

. If

you choose

Specify,

you need to enter the protocol number in

the box next to the

Protocol

field.

This field cannot be configured alone. It has to be configured

along with fields such as the

IP, Source MAC

and/or

Ingress

Interface

. In addition, this field is also mandatory if the

Source

Port

or

Destination Port

has been entered.

Source Port

This is the source protocol port. You cannot configure this

field without entering the protocol first.
