NETGEAR GS752TP, GS728TPP manual Learned Routes Table Fields, Subnet Mask

GS752TP, GS728TP, and GS728TPP Gigabit Smart Switches

Among routes to the same destination, the route with the lowest preference value is the route entered into the forwarding database. By specifying the preference of a static route, the user controls whether a static route is more or less preferred. The preference also controls whether a static route is more or less preferred than other static routes to the same destination. The preference is an integer value from 1 to 255. You can specify the preference value (sometimes called “administrative distance”) of an individual static route.

7.Click ADD to add the routing entry to the switch configuration.

To delete a route, select the check box next to the route and click DELETE.

The Learned Routes table provides information about the routes the switch already has in its routing table.
