View Routing Information on RV120W and RV220W

Objective

The Routing Table is a data table that is stored in a router and contains the lists of the routes to a particular network destination. It sometimes it has the metrics or the distances which are associated with that particular route. This information can be useful for reasons like troubleshooting a network and to verify router connections.

This document explains how to view the routing table and the corresponding fields on the RV120W and RV220W.

Applicable Devices

• RV120W
• RV220W

Step 1. Log in to the web configuration utility and choose Networking > Routing > Routing Table.The Routing Table page opens:

Step 2. Click Display and the Command Output page opens:

This page shows the routing table that contains the information about the network user. This table contains the following fields:

• Destination — The destination host or the network IP address for which this field is added.

• Gateway — The gateway that is used for this route.

• Genmask — The network mask for the destination network.

• Metric — The distance to the target which is usually counted in hops.

• Ref — The number of references to this route. This is not used in Linux.

• Use — The count of the searches for this route. It depends upon the usage of -F and -C . -F indicates the route cache misses and -C indicates the route cache hits.

• Interface — The interface to which the packets for this route will be sent.

• Type — The type of routing that is used. This can be a static or a dynamic route.

• Flags — The field shows the flags that are used. Flags are used for debugging purposes only. The list of flags are given below:

– UP — Indicates the route us up.

– Host — Indicates the target is the host.

– Gateway — Indicates the user to user gateway.

– R — Restores route for the dynamic routing.

– D — Indicates the dynamically installed by daemon or a redirect.

– M — Indicated modification from daemon or redirect.

– A — Indicates flag installed by Address Auto-configuration (addrconf) which allows assigning the address dynamically.

– C — Indicates cache entry.

– ! — Indicates reject route.
