Metric 3 An alternate routing metric for this route. The
semantics of this metric are determined by the
routing-protocol specified in the route’s
ipRouteProto value. If this metric is not used,
its value should be set to -1.
Metric 4 An alternate routing metric for this route. The
semantics of this metric are determined by the
routing-protocol specified in the route’s
ipRouteProto value. If this metric is not used,
its value should be set to -1.
Next Hop The IP address of the next hop of this route.
(In the case of a route bound to an interface
which is realized via a broadcast media, the
value of this field is the agent’s IP address on
that interface.)
Route Type The type of route. Note that the values
direct(3) and indirect(4) refer to the notion of
direct and indirect routing in the IP
architecture.
Setting this object to the value invalid(2) has
the effect of invalidating the corresponding
entry in the ipRouteTable object. That is, it
effectively disassociates the destination
identified with said entry from the route
identified with said entry. It is an
implementation-specific matter as to whether
the agent removes an invalidated entry from
the table. Accordingly, management stations
must be prepared to receive tabular
information from agents that corresponds to
entries not currently in use. Proper
interpretation of such entries requires
examination of the relevant ipRouteType
object.
Enumerated values:
1. other
2. invalid
3. direct
4. indirect
