The corresponding routing table in NetDefendOS will be similar to the following:
Flags Network Iface Gateway Local IP Metric
----- ------------------ -------- -------------- --------- ------
192.168.0.0/24 lan 20
10.0.0.0/8 wan 1
0.0.0.0/0 wan 192.168.0.1 20
NetDefendOS Route Definition Advantages
The NetDefendOS method of defining routes makes the reading and understanding of routing
information easier.
A further advantage with the NetDefendOS approach is that the administrator can directly specify a
gateway for a particular route and the following is true:
• A separate route doesn't need to be defined that includes the gateway IP address.
• It doesn't matter even if there is a separate route which includes the gateway IP address and that
routes traffic to a different interface.
Composite Subnets can be Specified
Another advantage with the NetDefendOS approach to route definition is that it allows the
administrator to specify routes for destinations that are not aligned with traditional subnet masks.
For example, it is perfectly legal to define one route for the destination IP address range 192.168.0.5
to 192.168.0.17 and another route for IP addresses 192.168.0.18 to 192.168.0.254. This is a feature
that makes NetDefendOS highly suitable for routing in highly complex network topologies.
Displaying Routing Tables
It is important to note that routing tables that are initially configured by the administrator can have
routes added, deleted and changed automatically during live operation and these changes will appear
