12 • IP (IP, TCP, UDP, & ICMP)
•
rip(4)—Learned via reception of RIP packet.
•
icmp(5)—Learned via reception of ICMP packet.
Seconds Since Updated (genRouteAge)
The number of seconds since this route was last updated or otherwise determined to be correct.
Tag (genRouteTag)
An identifier associated with the route. This can have different meanings depending on the protocol. For exam-
ple, this gives the tag that was passed with a learned RIP route.
Gateway (genRouteGateway)
Specifies the IP address to which the packets should be forwarded. Type the address, then click the
Modify
button next to the
Gateway
text box.
Cost (genRouteCost)
This is the cost of the route as defined by RIP standards. Cost is sometimes considered to be number of hops.
A cost of 16 is considered to be infinite. A cost can be given to user-entered routes so their preference in rela-
tion to learned routes can be calculated. Type the cost value, then click the
Modify
button next to the
Cost
text box.
State (genRouteState)
Defines the state which a route may be in during its lifetime.
•
invalid(1)—This setting deletes the route.
•
active(2)—A valid route is in use.
•
nopath(3)—No route is available to the specified gateway. The gateway is not known to local networks.
•
agedout(4)—Invalid route (soon to be removed).
•
costly(5)—A valid route, but not in use because of it’s higher cost.
Select the desired state from the menu, then click the
Modify
button next to the
State
menu.
