Publication Number: 53-0000521-08
IP Group
2
Description An alternate routing metric for this route.
Note The semantics of this metric are determined by the routing protocol specified in the
route's ipRouteProto value. If this metric is not used, its value should be set to -1.
ipRouteNextHop
OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.21.1.7
Description The IP address of the next hop of this route. (In the case of a route bound to an
interface that is realized via a broadcast media, the value of this field is the agent’s IP
address on that interface.)
ipRouteType
OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.21.1.8
Description The type of route. Valid values are:
other (1) None of the following
invalid (2) An invalidated route—route to directly
direct (3) Connected (sub)network—route to a non-local
indirect (4) Host/network/subnetwork
Setting this object to 2 (invalid) has the effect of invalidating the corresponding entry
in the ipRouteTable object. That is, it effectively dissasociates the destination
identified with said entry from the route identified with said entry. It is an
implementation-specific matter as to whether the agent removes an invalidated entry
from the table. Accordingly, management stations must be prepared to receive tabular
information from agents that corresponds to entries not currently in use. Proper
interpretation of such entries requires examination of the relevant ipRouteType
object.
Note The values direct (3) and indirect (4) refer to the notion of direct and indirect routing
in the IP architecture.
ipRouteProto
OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.21.1.9
Description The routing mechanism via which this route was learned.
Note Inclusion of values for gateway routing protocols is not intended to imply that hosts
should support those protocols.
ipRouteAge
OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.21.1.10
Description The number of seconds since this route was last updated or otherwise determined to
be correct.
Note Older semantics cannot be implied except through knowledge of the routing protocol
by which the route was learned.
