Several options exist within the RRAS management console that you can use to manage and monitor IP routing. You can use these options to view the status of an RRAS server, making it much easier to ensure the server continues to perform as expected. The following list summarizes some of the commands available within the console.
Managing and Monitoring Border Routing and Internal RoutingInternal routing refers to IP packets being routed in a local internetwork. To manage this type of routing, you need to administer the routing tables and choose the appropriate routing protocol. As mentioned earlier, routing can be static where the routing tables are manually created or dynamically using a routing protocol. Also recall that the two routing protocols supported by Windows 2000 are RIP and OSPF. Border routing refers to the division of an internetwork into different areas where some routers handle routing within an area and others handle routing between areas. The border routers are responsible for storing routing information to other areas on the internetwork. Because static routing is almost impossible within large internetworks, border routing normally uses one of the supported routing protocols so border routers can discover information from other border routers. |
