FC Routes

Field

Description

Preference

The value used to select one route over another when more than one route to the same destination is learned from different protocols, peers, or static routes. The preference value is an arbitrarily assigned value used to determine the order of routes to the same destination in a single routing database (RIB). The active route is chosen by the lowest preference value.

LastChangeTime

The last time a row was created, modified, or deleted in the FC route table.

DomainId

The domain ID of next hop switch. However, when read, this value could be N/A if the value of fcRouteProto is local.

Metric

The routing metric for this route. The use is dependent on fcRouteProto used.

Type

The type of route.

  • local(1): refers to a route for which the next hop is the final destination.
  • remote(2): refers to a route for which the next hop is not the final destination. This is not relevant for multicast and broadcast route entries.
