Parameter Static Route Configuration
Destination The destination address of a packet
Netmask The subnet mask which forms, in combination with the destination,
the network to be addressed. A single host can be specified by a
netmask of 255.255.255.255, a default route corresponds to 0.0.0.0.
Gateway The next hop which operates as gateway for this network (can be
omitted on peer-to-peer links)
Interface The network interface on which a packet will be transmitted in order
to reach the gateway or network behind it
Metric The routing metric of the interface (default 0), higher metrics have the
effect of making a route less favorable
Flags (A)ctive, (P)ersistent, (H)ost Route, (N)etwork Route, (D)efault Route
The flags obtain the following meanings:
Flag Description
A The route is considered active, it might be inactive if the interface for this route is not yet
up.
P The route is persistent, which means it is a configured route, otherwise it corresponds to
an interface route.
H The route is a host route, typically the netmask is set to 255.255.255.255.
N The route is a network route, consisting of an address and netmask which forms the
subnet to be addressed.
D The route is a default route, address and netmask are set to 0.0.0.0, thus matching any
packet.
