RuggedRouter® User Guide
This menu displays the current routing table and the state of the router's interfaces.
Select the Refresh link in order to refresh the display.
The entries under the Destination field reflect the network or host which can be
reached through this route. The “default” entry matches any packet which has not
already matched another route.
The entries under the Via field reflect the address of the gateway to route packets
through to reach the target network. The field is blank for non-gateway routings.
The entries under the Device field reflect the name of the interface this route belongs
to. Packets using this route will be sent on this interface.
The entries under the Metric field reflect the the cost of this route. The route with the
lowest metric matching a destination is used.
The entries under the Protocol field reflect the system that created the route. It is one
of “kernel” (default interface routes), “core” (dynamic routing protocol routes),
“redirect” (routes added due to ICMP redirect message) or “static” (for manually
added routes).
The entries under the Source field reflect the source address to use when originating a
packet to a destination matching this route. Note that packets routed through the
router have their own source address. Note that if the sending application decides to,
it can manually specify the source address.
The entries under the ToS field reflect the ToS value a packet must match to be routed
by this route.
The entries under the Weight field reflect the relative bandwidth or quality of this link
within a multi-path route. Note that multi-path routes are shown with multiple lines
for a single destination.
Interface Status
This menu also summarizes the interface status.
The entries under the Device field reflect the name of the device.
The entries under the Link up field reflect the current link state of interface.
The entries under the Address field reflect the local address of interface.
The entries under the Netmask field reflect the netmask applied to this interface.
The entries under the Bcast/Peer field reflect the broadcast address for the interface or
the peer address if the interface is a point to point interface.
The entries under the MTU field reflect the Maximum Transmission Unit size for the
interface.
The entries under the Txqueuelen field reflect the transmit queue length for the
interface.
