Routing Software in Windows Server 2008
You can add routing capabilities to a Windows Server 2008 server by enabling the Routing and Remote Access Services service. This is part of the Network Policy and Access Services role. Once the role is added, you can configure the service so that the server functions as a router.
The Routing and Remote Access Services service is built into Windows Server 2008. In other words, you don’t have to purchase an additional server product to use it.
Routing and Remote Access
The Network Policy and Access Services role has multiple uses. In addition to using it as a router as shown in this chapter, you can also use it to enable remote access for a network. Chapter 13 touches on using Network Policy and Access Services to create a dial-up or a virtual private network (VPN) server for remote access.
