Your system maintains a table of routes to other AppleTalk networks. The
routing table is generated automatically by the Routing Table Maintenance
Protocol (RTMP). RTMP defines 1) the rules for exchanging information
between routers so that the routers can maintain their routing tables, and 2)
the rules for the information contained within each routing table.
Each routing table entry contains the following information:
Network Range
A range of numbers used to designate a network segment's identity
Distance
The distance in hops to the destination network
Interface
The defined interface number
State
The status (good, suspect, bad, or really bad) of each route
You can display the routing tables for the system to determine which routes
are configured and if they are operational.
To display the contents of the routing table:
From the Administration Console top-level menu, enter:
