Route tab
You can use the Route tab to delete a route, whether it is a static or a dynamically learned route, from RIP or OSPF. Therefore, you should exercise care when deleting entries from the route table.
To open the Route tab:
- From the Device Manager window menu bar, choose IP Routing > IP.
| The IP dialog box opens with the Globals tab displayed. |
- Click the Routes tab.
The table below describes the IP Routes tab items.
|
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
|
Indicates the network mask to be logically banded with the destination address before being compared to the value in the ipRouteDest field.
|
Interface
|
The router interface for this route.
- Virtual router interfaces are identified by the VLAN number of the VLAN followed by the VLAN designation.
- Physical interfaces are identified by the slot/port number of the isolated routing port.
|
NextHop
|
The IP address of the next hop of this route.
|
Type
|
The type of route:
Note that the values direct and indirect refer to the notion of direct and indirect routing in the IP architecture.
|
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.
|
HopOrMetric
|
The primary metric for this route. The semantics of this metric are specific to different routing protocols.
