Table 5-12 Route Table Settings
Setting Description
Destination Enter the IP address of the destination for this route.
Netmask
Enter the netmask (subnet mask) associated with the network destination or press the
Tab key to automatically set the default subnet mask to
255.255.255.0 .
Because of the relationship between the destination and the subnet mask in defining
routes, the destination cannot be more specific than its corresponding subnet mask. In
other words, there cannot be a bit set to 1 in the destination if the corresponding bit in
the subnet mask is a 0.
Gateway Specifies the forwarding or next hop IP address over which the set of addresses defined
by the network destination and subnet mask are reachable. For locally attached subnet
routes, the gateway address is the IP address assigned to the interface that is attached
to the subnet. For remote routes, available across one or more routers, the gateway
address is a directly reachable IP address that is assigned to a neighboring router.
Metric Specifies an integer cost metric (from 1 to 9999) for the route, which is used when
choosing among multiple routes in the routing table that most closely match the
destination address of a packet being forwarded. The route with the lowest metric is
chosen. The metric can reflect the number of hops, the speed of the path, path
reliability, path throughput, or administrative properties.
