OSPF, RIP, BGP and others like them, are routing protocols, their purpose is to exchange among routers the routes to specific networks, it is of no use for a network that has one link to the Internet, for such topology, you only need to configure your clients with a default route pointing to the gate machine. raymundo > > Thanks to Jahanur R Subedar and Raymundo M.
