Dynamic routing in industrial environments

The modular Gigabit Switches from Phoenix Contact now support the RIP and OSPF dynamic routing protocols for complex routing applications.

These routing protocols simplify the configuration of medium-sized and large networks. Routes no longer have to be created manually, which is laborious and time-consuming, instead they can be created automatically and dynamically by Layer 3 components. This saves time and resources when starting up Layer 3 networks. Function extension is available for all Layer-3-capable, modular switches with firmware 3.0.
