Internet Protocol (IP) Routing
Displaying the route cache
The netstat –C command displays the contents of the cache route, including both static routes added
from the gateways section of the configuration file and routes added by the route command.
Table A12-12 describes the flags for the command display.
UseCount A positive integer indicating the number of times the route
has been used to transmit a packet. If you subtract the value
in this field from the value of Usage, you can determine how
long a route has been in the routing table.
Interface The interface over which the Model 5390 server can reach
the next hop.
Table A12-12. Flag Descriptions for the netstat –C Command
Flag Definition
intf x An interface route, where x is the interface name and
number, for example, asy8. This can be a backup route
for an interface that has a duplicate definition in the
routing table. For example, if you define a subnet mask
for a Proxy-ARP serial interface, and that mask is the
same as the Model 5390 server’s en0 subnet mask, the
routes to that interface will be considered duplicates. As a
result, the Model 5390 server will store the (preferred)
en0 interface route in the routing table and the serial
interface route in the cache, thus making the serial
interface unreachable.
The example below shows a dial-out route, do67.
hardwired Route added either by the route –h command or a route
defined as hardwired in the gateway section of the
Model 5390 configuration file.
