O/S forwarding table window 203
Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 16 • IP
Advanced…
Enables a route to be attached to an interface. Packets to a network will be routed to that interface, allowing
the gateway IP address to be dynamic.
O/S forwarding table window
The O/S forwarding table window lists forwarding information for all routes. Click on the O/S forwarding
table window link on the IP Routing Information page to display this page.
Figure 85. IP Routing Forwarding Table
Destination (ipRouteDest)
The destination IP address of this route. An entry with a value of 0.0.0.0 is considered a default route. Multiple
routes to a single destination can appear in the table, but access to such multiple entries is dependent on the
table-access mechanisms defined by the network management protocol in use.
Mask (ipRouteMask)
Indicates the mask to be logical-ANDed with the destination address before being compared to the value in the
ipRouteDest field. For those systems that do not support arbitrary subnet masks, an agent constructs the value
of the ipRouteMask by determining whether the value of the correspondent ipRouteDest field belongs to a
Class A, B, or C network, and then using the appropriate mask from Table 3 on page 200.
