The

menu contains links to UI pages that configure and display route tables.
Route Table
The route table manager collects routes from multiple sources: static routes and local routes. The route table
manager may learn multiple routes to the same destination from multiple sources. The route table lists all
routes. The best routes table displays only the most preferred route to each destination.

Route Table Summary
Route Table Summary Fields
Field
Description
Network Address
The IP route prefix for the destination.
Subnet Mask
Also referred to as the subnet/network mask, this indicates the portion of the IP interface address that
identifies the attached network.
Protocol
This field tells which protocol created the specified route. A route can be created in the following ways:
• Dynamically learned through a supported routing protocol
• Dynamically learned by being a directly-attached local route
• Statically configured by an administrator
• Configured as a default route by an administrator
Next Hop IP Address
The outgoing router IP address to use when forwarding traffic to the next router (if any) in the path
towards 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.
Next Hop Interface
The outgoing interface to use when forwarding traffic to the destination. For a static reject route, the
next hop is Null.
Best Route
Indicates whether the route is the preferred route to the network. If the field is blank, a better route to
the same network exists in the routing table.
