information it contains
• Routing tables
– Can be managed in the RRAS console or from the
command line using the route command

Configuring Routes
• Static routing is limited for the following reasons
– Requires manual creation and management
– Should not be used on networks with more than 10
subnets

about remote networks from other routers
• Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIPv2)
– Uses partner routers, or RIP neighbors, in
determining the dynamic routes it can use for
forwarding packets of data

Configuring Dial-on-Demand Routing
• Demand-dial routing
– Allows a server to initiate a connection only when it
receives data traffic bound for a remote network
– Can use dial-up networks instead of more expensive
leased lines

Configuring Remote Access Services
in Windows Server 2008
• Dial-up networking
– Connects remote users to their networks using a
standard phone line
• Virtual Private Networks
– Allow client connections to your network from remote
locations
– Works by creating a secure tunnel for transmitting
data packets between two points
– VPN tunneling protocols: Point-to-Point Tunneling
Protocol, Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol, Secure Socket
Tunneling Protocol
