IP Gateway Details Screen
The IP Gateway is a feature of the WANsuite 7105 that allows routing of IP
packets from one network to another using static routes configuration and/or
dynamic routing. The IP Gateway uses Routing Information Protocol (RIP) 1
or RIP 2 or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing.
RIP 1 and RIP 2 are protocols that allow exchange of routing information
between two routers. With that information exchange, a router can build its
own routing tables that later can be used for “routing” IP packets.
OSPF is a shortest path first (SPF) or link-state protocol. OSPF is also an
internal gateway protocol (IGP) that distributes routing information between
routers in a single autonomous system (AS). OSPF chooses the least cost path
as the best path.
While RIP is ideal for small- to medium-sized networks, OSPF is more
suitable for complex networks with a large number of routers. OSPF provides
equal cost multipath routing where packets to a single destination can be sent
via more than one interface simultaneously.
The IP Gateway also supports unnumbered networks. An unnumbered
network is a point-to-point connection without an assigned IP address This
feature reduces the number of IP addresses required.
