IP Routing
■ Protocol—lists the name of the protocol through which the route was
obtained. Routes can be obtained in the following ways:
• DHCP—Routes can be included with the IP address that the module
receives from a DHCP server.
• Static—Routes can be entered manually.
• Connected—Routes can be directly connected to an interface.
• Kernel/ICMP—Routes can be added to the route table if the module
receives an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) redirect from
an intermediate router.
■ Route Metric—used for selecting the best available path to the destination
subnetwork. Routes with lower metric values are given preference.
■ Active—indicates whether or not IP forwarding is enabled for the route.
