The following table defines the fields in the IP Routing Table.
Field Description
Destination Specifies the IP address of the destination computer.
The destination can specified as the IP address of a
specific computer or an entire network. It can also be
specified as all zeros to indicate that this route should
be used for all destinations for which no other route is
defined (this is the route that creates the default
gateway).
Netmask Indicates which parts of the destination address refer to
the network and which parts refer to a computer on
the network. Refer to Appendix 0, for an explanation of
network masks. The default gateway uses a netmask of
0.0.0.0.
NextHop Specifies the next IP address to send data to when its
final destination is that shown in the destination
column.
IFName Displays the name of the interface on the device
through which data is forwarded to the specified next
hop.
Route Type Displays whether the route is direct or indirect. In a
direct route, the source and destination computers are
on the same network, and the router attempts to
directly deliver the data to the computer. In an indirect
route, the source and destination computers are on
different networks, and the router forwards data to a
device on another network for further handling.
Route Origin Displays how the route was defined. Dynamic indicates
that the route was created automatically or predefined
by your ISP or the manufacturer. Routes you create are
labeled Local. Other routes can be created
automatically (using RIP, as described in Chapter 0), or
defined remotely through various network
management protocols (LCL or ICMP).
Action Displays an icon ( ) you can click on to delete a route.
