Preliminary Manual
Destination
- the destination network or host system. Declaring a default route means adding a route
with 0.0.0.0 as its destination. In case of networks, the last two groups of figures contain only the digit
zero.
Gateway
- the access gateway the respective routing entry points to. If this field has only zeroes
(0.0.0.0) or an asterisk (*), this means no gateway is used, the destination network is connected
directly to the computer.
Genmask
- the bit mask applied to the destination. It shows the “generality” of the route.
Flags
- indicator flags that describe some characteristics of the route. Such flags are:
U
- the route is active and operating, the interface to be used is up;
G
- the route uses an external gateway ( the network interfaces of the system supply routes to the
networks which are directly connected, all other routes use external gateways. Thus, the networks
which are directly connected don’t have the G flag, but it is activated for all other routes).
H
– it is a route towards a single host instead of a network.
D
- the table entry has been generated dynamically, either by a routing protocol or by an ICMP redirect
message (see section 3.5).
M
– this route was modified by a dynamic routing protocol;
R
- the route was re-activated following update by dynamic routing protocol. Routes may be configured
as passive or static even when a protocol for dynamic routing is used.
Other fields refer to the
Metric
(routing cost), the number of references to this route, etc,
Finally,
Iface
is the name of the network interface used for this route.
For the Ethernet interfaces there is currently a single name, respectively adm0.
IP Settings
Here one can set up the parameters for the equipment in the local network.
Settings for the LAN IP of the MobiLinkIP gateway are the standard ones: IP Address and Netmask,
Gateway (if used), Preferred and Alternate server for DNS.
