distance
An EGP metric. See metric. Valid values are from zero to 255 inclusive.

exterior gateway protocol
exterior routing protocol
A class of routing protocols used to exchange routing information within an autonomous system. A
detailed explanation of exterior gateway protocols is available in the Protocol Overview.
EGP
Exterior Gateway Protocol
One of a class of exterior gateway protocols, described in more detail in the EGP section of the Pro-
tocol Overview.
gateway
An intermediate destination by which packets are delivered to their ultimate destination. A host
address of another router that is directly reachable via an attached network. As with any host
address it may be specified symbolically.
gateway_list
A list of one or more gateways separated by white space.
HELLO
One of a class of interior gateway protocols, described in more detail in the HELLO section of the
Protocol Overview.
host
The IP address of any host. Usually specified as a dotted quad, four values in the range of 0 to 255
inclusive separated by dots (.). For example 132.236.199.63 or 10.0.0.51. It may also be
specified as an eight digit hexadecimal string preceded by 0x. For example 0x???????? or
0x0a000043. Finally, if options noresolv is not specified, a symbolic hostname. For example
gated.cornell.edu or nic.ddn.mil . The numeric forms are much preferred over the symbolic
form.
interface
The host address of an attached interface. This is the address of a broadcast, nbma or loopback
interface and the remote address of a point-to-point interface. As with any host address it may be
specified symbolically.
interface
The connection between a router and one of its attached networks. A physical interface may be
specified by a single IP address, domain name, or interface name. (Unless the network is an unnum-
bered point-to-point network.) Multiple levels of reference in the configuration language allow
identification of interfaces using wildcard, interface type name, or delete word address. Be careful
with the use of interface names as future Unix operating systems may allow more than one address
per interface. Dynamic interfaces can be added or deleted and indicated as up or down as well as
changes to address, netmask and metric parameters.
igp
interior gateway protocol
interior routing protocol
One of a class of routing protocols used to exchange routing information within an autonomous sys-
tem. A detailed explanation of interior gateway protocols is available in the Protocol Overview.
interface_list
A list of one or more interface names including wildcard names (names without a number) and
names which may specify more than one interface or address, or the token "all" for all interfaces.
See the section on interface lists for more information.
IS-IS
One of a class of interior gateway protocols.
local_address
The host address of an attached interface. This is the address of a broadcast, nbma or loopback
interface and the local address of a point-to-point interface. As with any host address it may be
specified symbolically.
mask
A means of subdividing networks using address modification. A mask is a dotted quad specifying
