– State — The router’s status. The possible options are:
•
Incomplete — Address resolution is in progress and the link-layer
address of the default gateway has not yet been determined.
•
Reachable — The default gateway is known to have been
reachable recently (within tens of seconds ago).
•
Stale — The default gateway is no longer known to be reachable
but until traffic is sent to the default gateway, no attempt is made
to verify its reachability.
•
Delay — The default gateway is no longer known to be reachable,
and traffic has recently been sent to the default gateway. Rather
than probe the default gateway immediately, however, there is a
delay sending probes for a short while in order to give upper-layer
protocols a chance to provide reachability confirmation.
•
Probe — The default gateway is no longer known to be reachable,
and Unicast Neighbor Solicitation probes are being sent to verify
reachability.
•
Unreachable — No reachability confirmation was received.
