Figure 8-1. IP Forwarding Page
Maximum Equal Cost Multipaths (ECMP) — The ECMP value, which must be defined when
forwarding IP packets. The ECMP value indicates how many paths from the router to a network are
available. The possible value range is 1-4. For example, a value of 1 indicates that there is only one
path to the network. The higher the value, the more memory resources are required. Modifications
to this field are effective only after the device is reset.
Destination IP Address — The destination IP network.
Prefix Length — The number of bits that comprise the destination IP address prefix. The length is
between 1-32 bits.
Next Hop (Gateway) — The next router address on the route to the destination network.
Route Type—Specifies how remote routing is handled. Possible values are:
Remote — Packet is forwarded.
Reject — Packet is dropped.
Local — Packet is sent to a local network.
Metric — The number of hops to the destination network.
Protocol — Routing protocol by which this route was added.
