The Edge platform is a fully functional Later-3
router. It has the ability to handle static routing, RIPv2,
and OSPFv2. The Edge Router also support VLAN tagging for switched
networks.
Routing Protocols
 When
the Edge platform is acting as the network gateway it is sometimes
required to re-route traffic to other devices/routers which
act as gateways for other departments, branches, etc. In these
cases the administrator can setup static routes to forward data
destine for the networks defined in those routes to be forwarded
to the provided gateway.
The Edge platform also support dynamic routing using RIPv2
and OSPFv2. Both of these routing protocols can available via
our command line interface, which is accessible via SSHv2 and
the console port.
VLAN Tagging
 The
Edge supports VLAN tagging for each of its interfaces, however
it is recommended that only the LAN interface or a DMZ interface
be used in conjunction with VLANs.
WAN ports can not be used with VLANs and still be able to
test for network outages and thus can only be defined using
VLAN tagging when the WAN interfaces are nailed up.
