Defines the table to use for the route
The zone where the target network resides
The address of the destination network
Mask that is applied to the Target to determine to what actual
IP addresses the routing rule applies
To where the router should send all the traffic that applies to
the rule
Used as a sorting measure. If a packet about to be routed fits
two rules, the one with the higher metric is applied.
Additional note on Target & Netmask: You can define a rule that applies to a single IP like this: Target - some IP;
Netmask - 255.255.255.255. Furthermore you can define a rule that applies to a segment of IPs like this: Target – some
IP that STARTS the segment; Netmask – Netmask that defines how large the segment is. E.g.:
Only applies to 192.168.55.161
Applies to IPs in range 192.168.55.0-192.168.55.255
Applies 192.168.55.240 - 192.168.55.255
192.168.55.0 - 192.168.55.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
7.7.2 Dynamic Routes
7.7.2.1 General
Dynamic routes provide dynamic routing which enables router to select paths according to real-time logical
network layout changes.
