110 O/S forwarding table window
Add a route:
This portion of the IP Routing Information window is where you can add a new route to the IP Routing Infor-
mation table. Fill in the
Destination (genRouteDest) , Mask (genRouteMask) , and Gateway (genRouteGate-
way)
information, then click Add Route .
Advanced…
Enables a route to be attached to an interface. Packets to a network will be routed to that interface, allowing
the gateway IP address to be dynamic. Fill in the
Destination (genRouteDest) , Mask (genRouteMask) , and Inter-
face (genRouteIfIndex)
information, then click Add Route .
O/S forwarding table window
The O/S forwarding table window lists forwarding information for all routes.
Figure 33. IP Routing Forwarding Table
Destination (ipRouteDest)
The destination IP address of this route. An entry with a value of 0.0.0.0 is considered a default route. Multiple
routes to a single destination can appear in the table, but access to such multiple entries is dependent on the
table-access mechanisms defined by the network management protocol in use.
Mask (ipRouteMask)
Indicates the mask to be logical-ANDed with the destination address before being compared to the value in the
ipRouteDest field. For those systems that do not support arbitrary subnet masks, an agent constructs the value
of the ipRouteMask by determining whether the value of the correspondent ipRouteDest field belongs to a
Class A, B, or C network, and then using the appropriate mask from table 6 on page 109.
Next Hop (ipRouteNextHop)
The IP address of the next hop of this route. (In the case of a route bound to an interface which is realized via
a broadcast media, the value of this field is the agent's IP address on that interface.)
