Routes tab fields  

The following table describes the fields on the Routes tab.


Field Description
Destination IP Address
The destination IP address of this route. The default value is 0.0.0.0. Multiple routes to a single destination can appear in the table if the Destination IP Address has been defined by the Network Management Protocol.
Interface
The number of the Interface.
Next Hop
The IP address of the next hop of this route. If a route bound to an interface is through a broadcast media, Next Hop Address is the agent's IP address on that interface.
Type
The type of route--direct, indirect, invalid, or other.
The type invalid disassociates both the destination and the route entry that are identified with this entry. Management stations must be prepared to receive information from agents that correspond to entries that are not currently in use.
Protocol
The routing mechanism through which this route was learned.
Including values for gateway routing protocols does not indicate that hosts will also support those protocols.
Age
Number of seconds since this route was last updated.
IP Subnet Mask
The mask that must be logically ANDed with the destination address before it is compared to the destination address of the router. If the value of the destination address is 0.0.0.0 (default value), the mask value is also 0.0.0.0. If the system does not support arbitrary subnet masks, an agent constructs the router mask based on the class of the destination address' network--255.0.0.0 for class A; 255.255.0.0 for class B; 255.255.255.0 for class C.
