Web Management User Guide Learned Routes Field Route Type Network Address Subnet Mask Description This field can be either default or static. If creating a default route, all that needs to be specified is the next hop IP address, otherwise each field needs to be specified. The IP route prefix for the destination. Also referred to as the subnet/network mask, this indicates the portion of the IP interface address that identifies the attached network. Protocol Next Hop IP Address Next Hop Interface Metric Preference This field tells which protocol created the specified route. The possibilities are one of the following: • Local • Static • OSPF • RIP The outgoing router IP address to use when forwarding traffic to the next router (if any) in the path towards the destination. The next router will always be one of the adjacent neighbors or the IP address of the local interface for a directly attached network. The outgoing router interface to use when forwarding traffic to the destination. Administrative cost of the path to the destination. If no value is entered, default is 1. The range is 0 - 255. The preference is an integer value from (0 to 255). The user can specify the preference value (sometimes called "administrative distance") of an individual static route. 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 than routes from dynamic routing protocols. The preference also controls whether a static route is more or less preferred than other static routes to the same destination.
