RIP Table Columns
RIP Columns Description
Destination A destination switch (identified by its domain or fabric
address) that can communicate with the selected switch
(identified in the title bar of the RIP Table and Statistics
window). Note: Only the first two characters contain
address information.
Port Index The port in the selected switch that can communicate with
the destination switch (identified in the Destination col-
umn). Note: A “0” (zero) entry represents the selected
switch.
Metric Number of switches that the selected switch must go
through to communicate with the destination switch (identi-
fied in the Destination column).
Next Hop The next switch (identified in this column by its domain or
fabric address) that the selected switch must go through to
communicate with the destination switch (identified in the
Destination column). Note: Only the first two characters
contain address information.
Type The communication path that the selected switch uses to
reach the destination switch. Communication paths are
identified as follows.
• 1 = Other: the route is through the selected switch only
• 2 = Invalid: the route is not valid
• 3 = Direct: the route is through a directly connected
switch domain in the same fabric region
• 4 = Indirect: route to a non-local connected switch
domain in the same fabric region
Protocol The protocol that found the communication path identified
in the Type column. Protocols are identified as follows.
• 1 = Other: none of the following protocols
• 2 = Local: Fibre Channel protocol
• 3 = NetMgmt: network management protocol
• 4 = RIP: Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
Age Number of seconds since this line has been added to or
updated in the RIP table.
Note: RIP updates every 30 seconds; other protocols do not
update.
