Routes tab fields


Field Description
Dest
The destination IP network of this route. An entry with a value of 0.0.0.0 is considered a default route. Multiple routes to a single destination can appear in the table, but access to such multiple entries is dependent on the table access mechanisms defined by the network management protocol in use.
Mask
Indicate the network mask to be logically ANDed with the destination address before being compared to the value in the ipRouteDest field.
NextHop
The IP address of the next hop of this route.
AltSequence
Specifies the alternative route to a particular destination. The number equals the best route.
HopOrMetric
The primary routing metric for this route. The semantics of this metric are specific to different routing protocols.
Interface
The router interface for this route.Router interfaces are identified by the slot/port number of the router port.
Proto
The routing mechanism through which this route was learned:
  • local = directly learned
  • netmgmt = a static route
  • RIP
  • OSPF
Age
The number of seconds since this route was last updated or otherwise determined to be correct.
Path Type
The type of route:
  • direct
  • indirect
Note that the values direct and indirect refer to the notion of direct and indirect routing in the IP architecture.
Pref
Used to indicate the route preference of this entry. If there are more than one route that can be used to forward IP traffic, the route that has a highest preference will be used instead of a lower preference one. The higher the number, the higher the preference.
