Table 84, Routing Table Basic Route Configuration on page 213 describes the
non-configurable data that is displayed.
Table 84.
Field Description
Network Address The IP route prefix for the destination.
Subnet Mask Also referred to as the subnet/network mask, this
indicates the portion of the IP interface address that
identifies the attached network.
Protocol This field tells which protocol created the specified
route.
The possibilities are one of the following:
Local
Static
Route Type This field can be Connected or Static or Dynamic
based on the protocol.
Next Hop Interface The outgoing router interface to use when forwarding
traf
fic to the destination.
Next Hop Address The outgoing router IP address to use when
forwarding traf
fic to the next router (if any) in the path
towards the destination. The next router will always
be one of the adjacent neighbors or the IP address of
the local interface for a directly attached network.
Preference The preference is an integer value from (0 to 255).
The user can specify the preference value
(sometimes called “administrative distance”) of an
individual static route.
Among routes to the same
destination, the route with the lowest preference
value is the route entered into the forwarding
database. By specifying the preference of a static
route, the user controls whether a static route is
more or less preferred than routes from dynamic
routing protocols. The preference also controls
whether a static route is more or less preferred than
other static routes to the same destination.
Metric Administrative cost of the path to the destination. If
no value is entered, default is 1.
The range is 0 - 255.
