indicates the IP address of the destination network or destination host; and the Mask
indicates the subnet mask associated with the destination network. For example,
192.168.18.0/24 means that the destination network IP address is 192.168.18.0, and
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
 Gateway IP: It displays the IP address of the next hop gateway or router to which to
