ipRouteType

Type INTEGER

Access RW

Description The type of route. Note that the values direct(3) and indirect(4) refer

to the notion of direct and indirect routing in the IP architecture.

Setting this object to the value invalid(2) has the effect of invalidating

the corresponding entry in the ipRouteTable object. That is, it

effectively disassociates 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 that corresponds to entries not

currently in use. Proper interpretation of such entries requires

examination of the relevant ipRouteType object.

Values:

ipRouteProto

Type INTEGER

Access R

Description The routing mechanism via which this route was learned. Inclusion

of values for gateway routing protocols is not intended to imply that

hosts should support those protocols.

The remaining values are all gateway routing protocols:

egp(5),

ggp(6),

other(1), none of the following

invalid(2), an invalidated route

direct(3), route to directly connected (sub-)network

indirect(4) route to a non-localhost/network/sub-network

other(1) none of the following

local(2) -protocol information, e.g., manually configured entries

netmgmt(3) set via a network management protocol

icmp(4) e.g., obtained via ICMP, Redirect
