ANAGEMENT CCESS TO THE
Gateway IP Address
This address tells the router how to forward packets whose destination
address matches the route's IP address and subnet mask. The system
forwards such packets to the indicated gateway.
Status
The status of the route provides the information described in Table 3-2.
Table 3-2 Route Status
Status Description
Direct Route to a directly connected network
Static Route was statically configured
Learned Route was learned using indicated protocol
Timing out Route was learned but is partially timed out
Timed out Route has timed out and is no longer valid
In addition to the routes to specific destinations, the routing table can
contain an additional entry, called the default route. The system uses the
default route to forward packets that do not match any other routing table
entry. You might want to use a default route in place of routes to numerous
destinations that all have the same gateway IP address.
