Table 3 Select Configuration Method Menu Options
The most efficient way to configure static routes and services is to select the
Dynamically Configure Static Routing Tables option. This enables you to
select from the following options:
 Autoconfigure Local and Remote Routing Tables —Exchanges all
routing and service table information automatically with the remote
router. Select this option if you want an on-demand call to obtain full
routing and service information in the static routing tables. A status
screen shows the progress of the exchange. This exchange might take
significant time to complete if you are working over a slow link or on a
large network.
 Configure Local Routing Tables —Selectively configures routing and
service tables for the local router from information learned from the
remote router through IPX SNMP requests.
 Configure Remote Routing Tables —Selectively configures the routing
and service tables for the remote router from information learned from the
local router through IPX SNMP requests.
