The following table defines the fields in the IP Routing Table.
Field Description
Destination
Specifies the IP address of the destination computer.
The destination can specified as the IP address of a
specific computer or an entire network. It can also be
specified as all zeros to indicate that this route should be
used for all destinations for which no other route is
defined (this is the route that creates the default
gateway).
Netmask
Indicates which parts of the destination address refer to
the network and which parts refer to a computer on the
network. Refer to Appendix 0, for an explanation of
network masks. The default gateway uses a netmask of
0.0.0.0.
NextHop Specifies the next IP address to send data to when its
final destination is that shown in the destination column.
IFName
Displays the name of the interface on the device through
which data is forwarded to the specified next hop.
Route Type Displays whether the route is direct or indirect. In a direct
route, the source and destination computers are on the
same network, and the router attempts to directly deliver
the data to the computer. In an indirect route, the source
and destination computers are on different networks,
and the router forwards data to a device on another
network for further handling.
Route Origin Displays how the route was defined. Dynamic indicates
that the route was created automatically or predefined
by your ISP or the manufacturer. Routes you create are
labeled
Local
. Other routes can be created automatically
(using RIP, as described in Chapter 9), or defined
remotely through various network management
protocols (LCL or ICMP).
Action
Displays an icon (
) you can click on to delete a route.
