Scheduling auto-static updates
You can automate scheduled updates by using a combination of Netsh utility scripts and Task Scheduler. To perform an automated auto-static update by using Routing Information Protocol (RIP) for IP, use the following netsh commands:
**netsh interface set interface name=**DemandDialInterfaceName connect=CONNECTED
netsh routing ip rip updateDemandDialInterfaceName
**netsh interface set interface name=**DemandDialInterfaceName connect=DISCONNECTED
For example, to automatically update the RIP-for-IP routes by using a demand-dial connection called CorpHub, you type the following netsh commands:
netsh interface set interface name=CorpHub connect=CONNECTED
netsh routing ip rip update CorpHub
netsh interface set interface name=CorpHub connect=DISCONNECTED
You can run these commands from a batch file or you can place them in a Netsh script file. For example, the script file Corphub.scp runs the following commands for CorpHub:
interface set interface name=CorpHub connect=CONNECTED
routing ip rip update CorpHub
interface set interface name=CorpHub connect=DISCONNECTED
To run the Corphub.scp script, type the following at a command prompt:
netsh -f corphub.scp
After the batch file or Netsh script file is created, you can execute the batch file or Netsh script on a scheduled basis by using Task Scheduler.
