Route Status list
The Routing Status list is a diagnostic display of all networks known to the router. Both direct
and remote networks are listed.
l Direct (or local) networks are connected directly to the router.
l Remote networks are on the other side of one or more remote routers. The path to a
remote network always includes at least one directly connected network.
Each of the columns lists information about local or remote networks.
Tip: If a directly connected network is shown to have a problem, the remote networks that
connect to it will also show problems. Correct directly connected network problems before
troubleshooting remote network problems.
Status The status of each network known to the router. See the table Route status
conditions for a description of each condition.
Net The columns under Net will change modes depending on the setting of Use Learned
Networks on the Routing Status page on page 37.
Destination The Destination is always the network number the router is using.
l If Use Learned Networks is enabled, this is the learned network number.
l If Use Learned Networks is not enabled, this is the network number entered for
the port on the Configuration page.
Configured (Use Learned Networks enabled) The network number that is configured
for the port on the Configuration page. If this number is different than the Destination
network, the network number is in red.
Discovered (Use Learned Networks not enabled) The learned network number at a
port. If this network number is different than the network number on the Configuration
page the number is in red and the status will be other than Active. Other networks are
listed as N/A.
Next Router A list of each network connected to the router's ports that will be used to route
a message to the next router.
l Network The BACet network number to the next router.
l Address The MAC address of the next router.
Time The elapsed time since the status update.
Idle Time The elapsed time since the last traffic was passed to the network by the router.
