### Automatically Starting ROUTED

To start ROUTED automatically when TCP/IP is started, select the Autostart tab, select ROUTED in the Autostarted Services list box, and check the Autostart Service box under Autostart Options.

If you choose to start ROUTED in an OS/2 window foreground session, you can check the Minimized box to minimize the OS/2 window.

The ROUTE server queries the network and dynamically builds routing tables from information transmitted by other hosts that are directly connected to the network.

If you choose to automatically start ROUTED, you can also specify the ROUTED parameters in the Parameters field.

Uncheck the Autostart Service box to disable the automatic starting of ROUTED when TCP/IP is started.

#### ROUTED Parameters

If you choose to automatically start ROUTED, TCP/IP can also process the following command parameters when specified from the Autostart tab:

-d
  Enables additional debugging information to be logged, such as corrupted packets received.

-g
  Offers a route to the default destination. You can use this on a gateway to an internet or on a gateway that uses another routing protocol whose routes are not reported to other local gateways.

-s
  Forces the routed command to supply routing information, regardless of whether it is acting as an internetwork router. This occurs if there is more than one network interface present or if a point-to-point link is in use.

-q
  Suppresses broadcasting of routing information.

-t
  Starts the packet tracing process.

-t -t
  Starts the packet tracing process and traces all packets sent or received on the standard output. The spaces between the parameters are required.

-t -t -t
  Starts the packet tracing process, traces all packets sent or received on the standard output, and starts history tracing. The spaces between the parameters are required.

-t -t -t -t
  Starts the packet tracing process, traces all packets sent or received on the standard output, starts history tracing, and starts tracing the packet contents. The spaces between the parameters are required.
