Route Table (Display)
This read-only table provides information on a per-route basis:
Column Description
Index Identifies the route entry [1 to 256].
Route Description Label that helps users to maintain their network.
Destination IP/Mask Identifies the route to the destination network.
Interface
There are two valid selections for routing to a destination network:
• toWAN is selected when the route to the destination network is over the
satellite link. The toWAN routes do not need a Next Hop IP Address.
• toLAN is used when the route to the destination network is attached to the LAN
interface.
Next Hop IP
When the route is of type toLAN, the Next Hop IP Address defines the locally attached
router’s IP Address. which can be used to route to the destination network. This is the case
when there is another subnet addressed to the modem on the LAN side.
