Setting Up a Router

A router is a station with multiple network connections that forwards packets between networks. This section provides the configuration procedure for a router with two interfaces and a router with more than two interfaces. A station can have multiple interfaces and not act as a router. The procedure for turning forwarding off on a station with multiple interfaces is also provided in this section.
