Dynamic Routes

Summary

The Routing page is used to set up static routes, routing tables and rules.

This manual page provides an overview of the Routing windows in {{{name}}} devices.


Dynamic Routing provides the possibility to route data based on current network or device state instead of relying on static entries in the routing table. The {{{name}}} device supports these dynamic routing protocols:

  • BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)
  • RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
  • OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
  • EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol)

Each protocol is described in the sections below.


BGP


The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a standardized exterior gateway protocol designed to exchange routing and reachability information among autonomous systems (AS) on the Internet. The protocol is often classified as a path vector protocol but is sometimes also classed as a distance-vector routing protocol. The Border Gateway Protocol makes routing decisions based on paths, network policies, or rule-sets configured by a network administrator and is involved in making core routing decisions.

General Settings


The General Settings section is used to turn BGP protocol usage on or off or to upload an external BGP configuration. Below is an example of the BGP General Settings section.

Field Value Description
Enable off | on; default: off Turns BGP protocol usage on or off.
Enable vty off | on; default: off Turns vty access on or off.
Import config - (interactive button) Uploads an external BGP configuration.

BGP Instance


User can edit BGP instance by clicking on edit button.

You will be redirected to general BGP instance settings:

Field Value Description
Enable off | on; default: off Turns the BGP instance on or off.
AS integer [1..4294967295]; default: none AS number is an identification of an autonomous system. BGP protocol uses the AS number for detecting whether the BGP connection is an internal one or external one.
BGP router ID 32-bit integer; default: none The router ID is used by BGP to identify the routing device from which a packet originated. Default router ID value is selected as the largest IP Address of the interface.

Metric ip4 with mask; default: none Sets a metric value for determining the preferred path into an AS.

RIP


The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the oldest distance-vector routing protocols which employ the hop count as a routing metric. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from source to destination. The maximum number of hops allowed for RIP is 15, which limits the size of networks that RIP can support. A hop count of 16 is considered an infinite distance and the route is considered unreachable. RIP implements the split horizon, route poisoning and holddown mechanisms to prevent incorrect routing information from being propagated.
