Dynamic Routing

The Router's dynamic routing feature can be used to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network's layout. The Router uses the dynamic RIP protocol. It determines the route that the network packets take based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other routers on the network.
