Selecting dynamic or static routing

All but the simplest networks consist of one or more subnets. Routers forward network traffic from one point on the network to another across these subnets. If the Ethernet TAP probe uses DHCP to automatically acquire its network settings, it is most likely that a default gateway setting was acquired and the probe will be accessible on other subnets. However, when using a static IP configuration or where the DHCP configuration is incomplete, you may have to provide additional routing information, including:

Select RIP or RIP2 dynamic routing support
Store a default gateway in flash memory
Load static routing tables into flash memory

To enable dynamic or static routing

At the core> prompt, use netparam arguments to specify routing configuration:

  netparam rip_enable {yes|no}

yes - select if your network uses RIP or RIP2 to route traffic, OSPF (gated) is not supported. Then select rip_version and rip_method.
no - select if your network does not use RIP or RIP2 to route traffic or if you plan to store a default gateway address or full route tables in the Ethernet TAP probe flash.
```
  netparam rip_version {1|2}
  
  
```
1 - select if your network uses RIP to route traffic.

2 - select if your network uses RIP2 to route traffic.

  netparam rip_method {broadcast|multicast}

broadcast - select if RIP or RIP2 uses the broadcast method to send messages to each client (default).
multicast - select if RIP or RIP2 uses the multicast method to send messages to clients.
