Using the IP Routing Table Window
IP Routing Table window; modifying the routing information;
The IP Routing Table provides a way for devices to exchange data. Your local IP
device must determine the next “hop” or stop on the data route. If the destination
is on the same IP network, then the next hop is the destination IP address.
Otherwise, the next stop is a router (gateway) on the same IP network as the local
device. The router is determined to be “closer” to the destination device.
The IP Routing Table window lets you view and modify routing information for
each interface.
To open the IP Routing Table window from the System Group window:
1. Click the Other Groups button. The Other Groups drop-down menu displays.
2. Click on IP Routing Table. The IP Routing Table window, Figure7-1, opens.
