Flag Description
A The route is considered active, it might be inactive if the interface for this route
is not yet up.
P The route is persistent, which means it is a con gured route, otherwise it corre-
sponds to an interface route.
H The route is a host route, typically the netmask is set to 255.255.255.255.
N The route is a network route, consisting of an address and netmask which forms
the subnet to be addressed.
D The route is a default route, address and netmask are set to 0.0.0.0, thus match-
ing any packet.

Static Route Con guration
The destination address of a packet
The subnet mask which forms, in combination with the des-
tination, the network to be addressed. A single host can be
speci ed by a netmask of 255.255.255.255, a default route cor-
responds to 0.0.0.0.
The next hop which operates as gateway for this network (can
be omitted on peer-to-peer links)
The network interface on which a packet will be transmitted in
order to reach the gateway or network behind it
The routing metric of the interface (default 0), higher metrics
have the effect of making a route less favorable
