Fields	Route Name

A symbolic name, up to eight alphanumeric characters, that represents a route between the node you are configuring and a destination node. The route name is only used within the NMMGR program. It is most useful when the node you are configuring has more than one possible way of accessing a target (destination) node. It identifies different routes to target nodes and is not the actual target node name. It is used because you may need a way to identify more than one route to a target node. There should be at lease one symbolic route name for routes to every other destination node on the network unless you use the “@” wildcard destination IP address.

To help keep track of routes, you can use the destination node name as the route name. If you have more than one route to a given node, you can name the routes nodename1, nodename2, and so forth.

Destination IP Address

IP address of the target (destination) node for which a route is being defined.

Priority

Number from 1 to 99 that indicates which route has precedence (priority) over another when there are multiple routes to a destination. A route to a destination that has a higher priority will take precedence over a route with a lower priority. This field is the primary means of influencing the choice of route.
