5.8. Dynamic routing protocols

The dynamic routing protocols are used for distributing information about the networks currently connected to each router. Routers communicate with one another through routing protocols. UserGate updates the routing table in its core according to the information obtained from the adjacent routers.

Dynamic routing does not affect the methods used by the core for IP routing. The core will be checking its own routing table in the same way to search for routes to hosts, routes to networks, and default routes. The only change is how the information will be added to the routing table: routes will be recorded automatically, without any manual operations.

UserGate supports two routing protocols which are OSPF and BGP.
