Routing Table
Note: Most modern routers support RIP-2 so there is usually no need for
a static route table.
Parameter Description
Flags
Indicates the route status:
C = Direct connection on the same subnet.
S = Static route.
R = RIP (Routing Information Protocol) assigned route.
I = ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Redirect route.
Network
Address
Destination IP address.
Netmask The subnetwork associated with the destination.
This is a template that identifies the address bits in the destination
address used for routing to specific subnets. Each bit that corresponds
to a “1” is part of the network/ subnet number; each bit that
corresponds to “0” is part of the host number.
Gateway The IP address of the router at the next hop to which matching frames
are forwarded.
Interface The local interface through which the next hop of this route is reached.
Metric When a router receives a routing update that contains a new or
changed destination network entry, the router adds 1 to the metric
value indicated in the update and enters the network in the routing
table.
