Learned Routes
Field Description
Route Type 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.
Network Address The IP route prefix for the destination.
Subnet Mask Also referred to as the subnet/network mask, this indicates the portion of the IP
interface address that identifies the attached network.
Protocol This field tells which protocol created the specified route. The possibilities are
one of the following:
• Local
• Static
• OSPF
• RIP
Next Hop IP Address 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.
Next Hop Interface The outgoing router interface to use when forwarding traffic to the destination.
Metric
Administrative cost of the path to the destination. If no value is
entered, default is 1. The range is 0 - 255.
Preference
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.
