IP Forwarding
A read-only indicator displaying whether the router is operating as a gateway
or a host.
IP Routing View
This view provides a table that describes each transmission route known by
the router. Double-clicking any table entry opens a route-specific IP Routing
table. The IP Routing view and the corresponding entry-specific tables provide
the following information:
Destination Addr
The destination IP address of the route. An address 0.0.0.0 is a default route.
Next Hop Addr
The IP address of the next hop on the route.
Interface
The local interface through which the next hop on the route should be reached.
Route Age
The number of seconds since the route was last updated or determined to be
correct.
Primary Metric
The primary routing metric for the route. A metric is the value resulting from
algorithmic computations of a variable such as path length, bandwidth, or
load. If the primary metric is not used, set the value to -1.
Alt Metric
The alternative (secondary) routing metric for the route. If this metric is not
used, set the value to -1. This field is only available from the route-specific IP
Routing table.
Route Mask
The network mask (either a Class A, B, or C network).
Metric 5
An alternate routing metric for a router, which is set to a value of -1 if not
used.
Route Info
Information regarding the routing protocol applicable to the route.
Routing Type
The type of routing used by the device. Possible types are Direct, Indirect,
Invalid, and Other. Direct routing follows a point-to-point hierarchical path, or
tree structure, in searching for the destination host. Indirect routing
transports packets through other networks (also termed group-to-group).
