FIGURE 67 Wireless Controller - Network Route Entries screen
The Route Entries screen provides the following information:
Bridge
Network
Bridging is a forwarding technique making no assumption about where a particular network
address is located. It depends on flooding and the examination of source addresses in received
packet headers to locate unknown devices. Once a device is located, its location is stored in a table
to avoid broadcasting to that device again. Bridging is limited by its dependency on flooding, and is
used in local area networks only. A bridge and a controller or service platform are very similar, since
a controller or service platform is a bridge with a number of ports.
To view network bridge information:
1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
Destination Displays the IP address of the destination route address.
FLAGS The flag signifies the condition of the direct or indirect route. A direct route is where the destination
is directly connected to the forwarding host. With an indirect route, the destination host is not
directly connected to the forwarding host. Possible flags include U (route is up), H (target is a host),
G (use gateway), R (reinstate route for dynamic routing), D (dynamically installed by daemon or
redirect), M (modified from routing daemon or redirect), A (installed by addrconf), C (cache entry)
or! (reject route).
Gateway Displays the gateway IP address used to route packets to the destination subnet.
Interface Displays the name of the interface of the destination subnet.
Refresh Select Refresh to update the display to the latest values.
