Setting Network Identifiers 6 - 5
The Flags column displays letters identifying the type of entry:
n S: Entry is static (entered by operator)
n N: Entry is an infrastructure route
n H: Entry is a host route
The Use column indicates the number of packets that have been for-
warded using this table entry.
In the sample table, all addresses that match 149.23.166.xxx would be
forwarded to the router at address 149.23.165.71. Any packet for
address 149.23.130.20 would be forwarded to the address
149.23.165.60. All other packets not on the current subnet would be for-
warded to the router at 149.23.165.50.
Entering a Host Route (Host)
Host routes control the forwarding of packets to a single host address.
You will be prompted for the host’s IP address along with the IP address
to which the packets should be forwarded to reach the host.
Entering an Infrastructure Route (Net)
Infrastructure routes control the forwarding of packets to another subnet
of the infrastructure. You will be prompted for the net’s IP address,
along with the subnet mask to be applied during the address comparison.
You will also be prompted for the IP address to which the packets should
be forwarded to reach the infrastructure.
Entering Default Route (Default)
The default route is used when forwarding a packet to another subnet of
the infrastructure and none of the other table entries apply. You will be
prompted for the IP address to which the packets should be forwarded to
reach the other networks. This item may also be assigned by a BOOTP
or DHCP server.
Deleting a Route (Delete)
Use this menu item to remove entries from the table. You may delete all
entries or only specific IP addresses.
