GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS Gigabit Smart Switches Configuring Router Discovery The Router Discovery protocol is used by hosts to identify operational routers on the subnet. Router Discovery messages are of two types: Router Advertisements and Router Solicitations. The protocol mandates that every router periodically advertise the IP Addresses it is associated with. Hosts listen for these advertisements and discover the IP Addresses of neighboring routers. Router Discovery Configuration Use the Router Discovery Configuration page to enter or change Router Discovery parameters. To display the page click Routing, and then click the Router Discovery link. To configure the router discovery settings: 1. Select the router interface for which data is to be configured. To perform the same configuration on all interfaces, select the check box in the heading row. To configure a single interface, select the check box associated with the interface. The interface number appears in the Interface field in the table heading row. 2. From the Advertise Mode field, select Enable or Disable from the drop-down menu. If you select Enable, Router Advertisements are transmitted from the selected interface. 3. In the Advertise Address field, enter the IP Address to be used to advertise the router. 4. In the Maximum Advertise Interval field, enter the maximum time (in seconds) allowed between router advertisements sent from the interface. The allowed range for this field is 4 to 1800. 5. In the Minimum Advertise Interval field, enter the minimum time (in seconds) allowed between router advertisements sent from the interface. The allowed range for this field is 3 to 1800. 168
