Dynamic Route Table Screen
Access this menu (Figure 3.46) by selecting “Static Route Table” from the
RIP Parameters table on the IP Gateway menu and then selecting Dynamic
Route Table. This table shows both dynamic and static routes. Please note that
not all parameters are necessarily defined, depending on whether or not the
routes were learned dynamically. Primarily, the most useful information is
included in "Destination," "Interface Index," and "Mask" columns.

Destination Network to be reached.
Interface Index Internal TCP/IP stack interface number.
Next Hop IP address used to reach the destination network.
Mask Mask of the destination network.
ARP Table Screen
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used by the router to dynamically
associate a high-level IP address to a low-level physical hardware address.
ARP packets are only sent across a single physical network.
There are some cases when an IP-compatible device does not support ARP or
ARP is deliberately disabled (for security). In these cases, instead of using
ARP to dynamically update the router internal MAC <-> IP Address Table,
you can use this menu to force an entry into that table. This entry never times
out.
NOTICE: At least one circuit must be defined to create a Static ARP Table entry
because an ARP entry is always associated with a circuit.
Access this menu by selecting “Static ARP Table” from the RIP Parameters
screen on the IP Gateway menu. The static ARP table (Figure 3.47) is useful
when a Host does not respond to an ARP request.
