# Dynamic routing configuration overview

The steps for configuring dynamic routing depend on the protocol you use and whether you configure it in the SMC Client or on the engine command line.

Follow these general steps to configure dynamic routing in the SMC Client:

1. Create the elements for dynamic routing that you want to use in the configuration.
2. Configure the settings for dynamic routing for the Engine, Engine Cluster, or Virtual Engine in the Engine Editor.
3. (Recommended) Preview the dynamic routing configuration in Free Range Routing (FRR) format to check that the routing configuration is what you intended.

Follow these general steps to configure a dynamic routing protocol on the command line:

1. Create an empty protocol-specific configuration file.
2. Start the protocol-specific routing daemon.
3. Start the FRR command shell, then enter the dynamic routing commands.
