How to test dynamic routing in Openwrt 22.03?

For Developers
1

Hi I want to test whether dynamic routing is available or not in openwrt, if not how can I enable it? Does openwrt support dynamic routing by default without installing any related package?
My firmware details-

root@(none):/# ubus call system board
{
"kernel": "5.10.140",
"hostname": "HuskyRTR",
"system": "ARM926EJ-S rev 5 (v5l)",
"model": "Nuvoton NUC980 IOT V1.0",
"board_name": "spinand",
"rootfs_type": "squashfs",
"release": {
"distribution": "OpenWrt",
"version": "22.03.0",
"revision": "r19685-512e76967f",
"target": "nuc980/iotg2",
"description": "OpenWrt 22.03.0 r19685-512e76967f"
}
}

ask the people who built the openwrt image for you/your device ?

Dynamic routing usually means using a routing protocol. In (vanilla) OpenWrt there is no routing protocol installed by default AFAIK, unless you count IPv6 NDP Router Advertisement (RA). Odhcp6c acts like an RA client, and odhcpd acts like an RA server. But for a full-featured routing daemon you want to install bird (preferably version 3 or 2) or similar. Or a daemon for a specific routing protocol such as babel.

They are going to be out of luck there, the only SDK forked source that is out there for the NUC980 is based on LEDE 17.01

Absolutely no idea what changes have been made and why the manufacturer is refusing to upstream to OpenWrt
