Dynamic Routing
The dynamic routing feature of the router can be used to allow the router 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.
