Administering Routes 12-5
Administering
Routes
Your system maintains a table of routes to other AppleTalk networks. The
routing table is generated automatically by the Routing Table Maintenance
Protocol (RTMP). RTMP defines 1) the rules for exchanging information
between routers so that the routers can maintain their routing tables, and 2)
the rules for the information contained within each routing table.
Each routing table entry contains the following information:
■ Network Range
A range of numbers used to designate a network segment’s identity
■ Distance
The distance in hops to the destination network
■ Interface
The defined interface number
■ State
The status (good, suspect, bad, or really bad) of each route
Displaying the
Routing Table
You can display the routing tables for the system to determine which routes
are configured and if they are operational.
