5. IP section of network protocol configuration 
The configuration of protocol IP will be introduced in this chapter. Pay more attention to this chapter because it is the key
factor for you to implement your configuration task correctly and rapidly. You will have more understanding about IP
addressing and IP service which include the configuration of the significant IP routing.
5.1 IP Overview
The Internet Protocol (IP) is a packet-based protocol used to exchange data over computer networks. IP handles
addressing, fragmentation, reassembly, and protocol multiplexing. It is the foundation on which all other IP protocols,
collectively referred to as the IP Protocol suite, are built. IP is a network-layer protocol that contains addressing and
control information that allows data packets to be routed.
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is built upon the IP layer. TCP is a connection-oriented protocol that specifies
the format of data and acknowledgments used in the transfer of data. TCP also specifies the procedures that the computers
use to ensure that the data arrives correctly. TCP allows multiple applications on a system to communicate concurrently
because it handles all demultiplexing of the incoming traffic among the application programs.
The IP address, such as address resolution protocol (ARP)and network address translation(NAT) will be introduced in the
configure IP addressing. The IP service, such as ICMP, IP statistic and performance parameters and so on will be
introduced in the configure IP service”.
5.1.1 IP Routing Protocol
D-Link router implement various IP routing dynamic protocols. These protocols will be separately introduced in the
illustration of protocols of this chapter.
IP routing protocols are divided into two classes: Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP) and Exterior Gateway Protocols (EGP).
D-Link router supports RIP, OSPF and BGP. You can separately configure RIP, OSPF and BGP as your requirement. Our
router supports to configure various route protocol processes at the same time, which include randomly various OSPF
processes (if the memory is enough to be assigned), a BGP process, a RIP process or any amount of BEIGRP process. You
can use the command redistribute to redistribute routes of other routing protocols into the database of current route
process and then connect various routes of multiple protocol process.
To configure the IP dynamic routing protocol, you must set up a corresponding process, connect the respective network
interface to certain dynamic routing process and designate the interfaces at which routing process will start. Therefore,
you need to view the configuration steps in related configuration command document.
5.1.2 Select a routing protocol
Its a complicated process to select a routing protocol. When you select a routing protocol, you must consider the
following factors:
size and the complexity of the network topology
whether need to support length -variable network
network flow
security
dependability
policy
others
We wont to describe this issue any deeper here. However, the user should notice that the routing protocol you select must
suit for the condition of your network and meet your requirement.
5.1.3 Interior Gateway Protocols
Interior protocols are used for routing networks that are under a common network administration. All IP interior gateway
protocols must be associated with specified network on startup (such as configuring network). Each routing process listens
