Destination: Specifies the IP address of the destination computer. The destination can specified as the IP address of a specific computer or an entire network. It can also be specified as all zeros to indicate that this route should be used for all destinations for which no other route is defined (this is the route that creates the default gateway).
Netmask: Indicates which parts of the destination address refer to the network and which parts refer to a computer on the network. The default gateway uses a netmask of 0.0.0.0. NextHop: Specifies the next IP address to send data to when its final destination is that shown in the destination column.
IfName: Displays the name of the interface through which to data is forwarded to the specified next hop.
Route Type: Indicates whether the route is direct or indirect. In a direct route, the source and destination computers are on the same network, and the router attempts to directly deliver the data to the computer. In an indirect route, the source and destination computers are on different networks, and the router forwards data to a device on another network for further handling.
Route Origin: Displays how the route was defined. Dynamic indicates that the route was predefined on the system by your ISP or the manufacturer. Routes you create are labeled Local. Other routes may be created automatically (see Configuring RIP), or defined remotely through various network management protocols (LCL or ICMP).
