Dynamic routing, also called adaptive routing, is a process where a router can forward data via a different route or given destination based on the current conditions of the communication circuits within a system. The term is most commonly associated with data networking to describe the capability of a network to ‘route around’ damage, such as loss of a node or a connection between nodes, so long as other path choices are available. Dynamic routing allows as many routes as possible to remain valid in response to the change.
Systems that do not implement dynamic routing are described as using static routing, where routes through a network are described by fixed paths. RansNet Appliances supports Dynamic Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), which is a standard dynamic routing protocol and can interoperate with 3rd-party devices as well
The RansNet Gateway Routing UI facilitates users to configure Dynamic OSPF Route based on your topology.
NOTE
Dynamic Route – Automatic adjust the routes according to the current state in the routing table. Dynamic routing uses protocols to discover network destinations and the routes to reach it.

Dynamic routing makes automatic adjustments of the routes in the routing table. Dynamic routing uses protocols to discover network destinations and the routes to reach them. RansNet Appliances supports Dynamic Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), which is a standard dynamic routing protocol and can interoperate with 3rd-party devices as well.
User can Enable Dynamic Routing (OSPF) by sliding the 
button from the section head of the Routing UI to configure details.
Settings of Dynamic Routing (OSPF)
The parameters to configure Dynamic Routing (OSPF) are explained below:
| S/N | Fields | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 01. | Routing OSPF | Select the OSPF option from the list Network: Defines a Network IP address on which OSPF runs for that Network. Router ID: This option is used to provide a unique identity to the OSPF Router. OSPF Router ID is assigned to each router running the OSPF protocol. |
| 02. | Network ID/Area | Need to specify the Network IP and Wild card Mask Network ID: Network Area: |
| 03. | Enable/Disable Parameters | Redistribute BGP Routes option can be Enabled or Disabled: If Enabled the redistributes routes learned from another routing process into OSPF.  |
