IP Routing
Configuration Guide
The XP supports standards-based TCP, UDP, and IP. This chapter describes how to
configure IP interfaces and general non-protocol-specific routing parameters.
IP Routing Protocols
The XP supports standards-based unicast and multicast routing. Unicast routing protocol
support includes Interior Gateway Protocols and Exterior Gateway Protocols. Multicast
routing protocols are used to determine how multicast data is transferred in a routed
environment.
Unicast Routing Protocols
Interior Gateway Protocols are used for routing networks that are within an “autonomous
system,” a network of relatively limited size. All IP interior gateway protocols must be
specified with a list of associated networks before routing activities can begin. A routing
process listens to updates from other routers on these networks and broadcasts its own
routing information on those same networks. The XP supports the following Interior
Gateway Protocols:
• Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Version 1, 2 (RFC 1058, 1723). Configuring RIP for
the XP is described in Chapter 12.
• Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Version 2 (RFC 1583). Configuring OSPF for the XP is
described in Chapter 13.
Exterior Gateway Protocols are used to transfer information between different
“autonomous systems”. The XP supports the following Exterior Gateway Protocol:
