From: Ajax on 12 Feb 2006 23:37 I have a Linksys BEFSX41 router. One of the options is "Dynamic Routing." It also offers a few options if you select Dynamic Routing. As you might expect, Linksys does little to explain why one would need to use Dynamic Routing. It offers Static Routing for networks with multiple routers. If I am not using Dynamic Routing nor Static Routing - both are offered as options - the what type of Routing is my network using? My system is a home network that includes both desktops hardwired to the router and a Linksys WAP54G wireless access point. The router connects to a cable modem. Is Dynamic Routing something that would enhance the network or is it something for larger and more complex systems?

That was also the default setting of the router out of the box. When I converted the BEFW11S4 router to be just a wire/wireless AP switch so that I could connect it to my FW appliance but still have WAP on the network, then I was told to use Static routing on the router that was just a switch.

From: Dom on 13 Feb 2006 00:36 Dynamic routing protocols and static routes are only for use on networks with more than one router. Let's take the following example of three networks and two routers. (net1)__rtr1__(net2)__rtr2__(net3) Each router is only aware of directly connected networks. Rtr1 does not know about net3 and rtr2 does not know about net1. We can add the following static routes to reach the remote networks. rtr1: net3 via rtr2 rtr2: net1 via rtr1 Or, we can configure rip between the routers on net2 so they can automatically propagate their routes to each other.

What an intuitive, straightforward analysis of routing. I couldn't have come up with a better explanation myself. Oh wait, actually...

I think that you have some kind of problem. Shall I get a pad and pencil and you lay down on the couch and we discuss your problems? Can I suggest Prozac or some kind of medication to you, because I am beginning to suspect, that there is something wrong with you. Will you stop chasing me like some kind of lunatic nut. I already have one insane nut troll woman name K-Man that impersonates me in various NG(s), attacks people as me and she follows me around the NG(s) and here you are in a NG I have been coming to for years with you acting like some kind of a nut. I see you over there in the wireless NG and I have seen you here too. Do you see me in your face? Do you you see me chasing you around like I have had may heart ripped out like you seem to be displaying? I have forgotten all about you. You seem a little trolly to me now. Are you going to start trolling me? Will you please get your sorry self under control. There is something wrong with you. Duane :( |
