Fields in the 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.
Subnet mask	Subnet mask that is associated with the IP address of the
	destination network, subnetwork, or host.
Metric	Associated cost of sending a packet to the destination. The
	system includes the metric in its RIP and OSPF updates to allow
	other routers to compare routing information received from
	different sources.
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.
Status	Status of the route. See the following status table.
TTL	Time To Live — Time remaining before the route expires or is
	reset.

Local	Actual interface address
Static	Route was statically configured
