Field
Description
Network Address
The IP route prefix for the destination.
Subnet Mask
The portion of the IP interface address that identifies the attached network (also referred
to as the subnet or network mask).
Protocol
The protocol that created the specified route. The possibilities are one of the following:
•
Local
•
Static
Route Type
The route type can be Connected, Static, or Dynamic, depending on the protocol.
Next Hop Interface
The outgoing router interface to use when forwarding traffic to the destination.
Next Hop Address
The outgoing router IP address to use when forwarding traffic to the next router (if any) in
the path toward the destination. The next router is always 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. You 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, you control
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
The administrative cost of the path to the destination. If no value is entered, the default
is
1. The range is 0–255.
