Routing Table

Parameter Description
Flags Indicates the route status:
C = Direct connection on the same subnet.
S = Static route.
R = RIP (Routing Information Protocol) assigned route.
I = ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Redirect route.
Network Address Destination IP address.
Netmask The subnetwork associated with the destination.
This is a template that identifies the address bits in the
destination address used for routing to specific subnets. Each bit
that corresponds to a “1” is part of the subnet mask number;
each bit that corresponds to “0” is part of the host number.
Gateway The IP address of the router at the next hop to which frames are
forwarded.
Interface The local interface through which the next hop of this route is
reached.
Metric When a router receives a routing update that contains a new or
changed destination network entry, the router adds 1 to the
metric value indicated in the update and enters the network in
the routing table.
