Configuring Hosts and Servers
Configuration File on page A14-8) and/or from routes defined via the CLI superuser route command
(see Defining Routes on page A12-50).
Routes in the cache include those whose next hops are directly reachable, that is, up and running
on a network directly connected to the Model 5390 server—and those that are not yet reachable.
Routes whose next hops are reachable are immediately copied to the RIP and kernel routing tables.
Routes whose next hops are not yet directly reachable are copied to the RIP and kernel routing
tables as soon as their next hops become reachable. The latter technique saves the Model 5390 server
the trouble of consulting the configuration file, which is typically not stored on the Model 5390
server, each time a route's status changes. A copy of the route remains in the routing cache, in case
its next hop again becomes unreachable.

NOTE: The netstat –C command displays the route cache (see Route
Cache Information on page B1-14 for more details).
