Routed uses only the RIP (or RIP2) protocol to make routing decisions, whereas gated can use a variety of routing protocols. I admin firewall gateways for an ISP, and the only real reason I use gated is to speak OSPF to our exterior routers that won't speak RIP. Personally, if you don't need anything for routing but RIP, I'd investigate routed first-- it looks much easier to configure. Now if you don't need anything but static routes, then kill 'em both and write a rc script to set routes for you. Routing protocols are designed to dynamically change routes. If you only have one route coming into your box, then you don't have (or need programs for) dynamic routing. M. Eric Mings wrote: > > Thanks much for the replies.
