11. CREATING A ROUTING TABLE
Each routing table entry comes with the following parameters:
Parameters Description Default Value
RIP on/off Checked to enable RIP (Routing OFF
Information Protocol) function.
Dest. Network ID The subnet ID of destination IP address 0.0.0.0
Dest. Subnet Mask The subnet mask of the destination 0.0.0.0
subnet
Next Hop The IP address of the neighbor/peer N/A
interface for routing purpose
While an incoming packet is received, the system will detect its destination. First,
the system will calculate the destination subnet via the AND operation between
destination IP and its mask. If the destination subnet matches the predefined one,
routing policy will route this packet to the interface that connect to specified Next
Hop address. If there is no match, this packet will be forwarded to the default-
routed interface defined on previous section.
