Fields in the Management IP Route Display

Field	Description
Destination	IP address of the destination network, subnetwork, or host. This
	field can also identify a default route, which the system uses to
	forward packets that do not match any other routing table
	entry. You may want to use the default route in place of routes
	to numerous destinations that all have the same gateway IP
	address.
Gateway	Address that directs the router how to forward packets whose
	destination addresses match the route’s IP address and subnet
	mask. The system forwards such packets to the indicated
	gateway.
Metric	Number of networks through which a packet must pass to reach
	a given destination. The system includes the metric in its RIP
	updates to allow other routers to compare routing information
	that is received from different sources.
Status	Status of the route. See the following route status table.
Subnet mask	Subnet mask that is associated with the IP address of the
	destination network, subnet, or host.
