Fields in the Management IP Route Display
Status for Routes
Field Description
Destination IP address of the destination network, subnetwork, or host. This
field can also identify a default route, which the system uses to
forward packets that do not match any other routing table
entry. You may want to use the default route in place of routes
to numerous destinations that all have the same gateway IP
address.
Gateway Address that directs the router how to forward packets whose
destination addresses match the route’s IP address and subnet
mask. The system forwards such packets to the indicated
gateway.
Metric Number of networks through which a packet must pass to reach
a given destination. The system includes the metric in its RIP
updates to allow other routers to compare routing information
that is received from different sources.
Status Status of the route. See the following route status table.
Subnet mask Subnet mask that is associated with the IP address of the
destination network, subnet, or host.
