Field Descriptions
Route Number
IP-route number
Destination
Node
Destination of the route. The destination is a name administered on the
Node Name form that can include the keyword
Default indicating the
default route.
Gateway
The node name of the Gateway through which the destination is to be
reached. The Gateway is a name administered on the Node Name form.
C-LAN Port
Indicates the C-LAN port location that provides the interface for the route.
Metric
Specifies the desirability of the IP route in terms of the efficiency of data
transmission over the route. Valid entries are
0 (a simple route) and 1 (a
complex route). A metric value of
1 is used only when the switch has more
than one C-LAN board installed. A metric-1 route diverts usage of the route
to a metric-0 route, if available.
Route Type
A non-administrable field that specifies whether this is a network or host
route. A network route is a route to every node in the (sub)network
specified in the Destination Node field. A host route is a route to the
single node specified in the
Destination Node field.
Accepted by
CLAN
Indicates whether a C-LAN circuit pack has accepted the administered
IP-route. Routes for a link are downloaded to the C-LAN circuit pack when
the link comes into service. Possibilities include:
■ accepted – the route has been accepted by the C-LAN circuit pack
■ rejected – the route has been rejected by the C-LAN circuit pack.
The Gateway may not be on the attached ethernet subnet or may not
be the IP address of the far end of the PPP link.
■ pending – the route has not been sent to the C-LAN circuit pack, or it
has been sent but no reply has been received. Typically, this status
changes to accepted or rejected when some condition changes,
such as a link coming up.
■ obsolete – the route is no longer needed (some host routes were
needed in R7 but are no longer needed in subsequent releases, or are
duplicates of existing routes)
