GS716Tv3, GS724Tv4, and GS748Tv5 Smart Switches Configure 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. Use the Router Discovery Configuration screen to enter or change router discovery parameters. To configure the router discovery parameters: 1. Select Routing > Router Discovery. 2. 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 displays in the Interface field in the table heading row. 3. From the Advertise Mode list, select Enable. Router advertisements are transmitted from the selected interface. 4.
