Route Entries

The Route Entries screen displays data for routing packets to a defined destination. When an existing destination subnet does not meet the needs of the network, add a new destination subnet, subnet mask and gateway.

To view the route entries:

1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
2. Expand the System node from the navigation pane (on the left-hand side of the screen). The System node expands to display the RF Domains created within the managed network.
3. Expand the RF Domain node.
4. Select a Wireless Controller.
5. Expand the Network menu from the left-hand side of the UI.
6. Select Route Entries.
   The Statistics > Controller > IPv4 Route Entries stats display by default in the right-hand pane.

   

   

   The IPv4 Route Entries screen provides the following information:

   Destination	Displays the IPv4 formatted address of the destination route address.
   Distance	Lists the hop distance to a desired route. Devices regularly send neighbors their own assessment of the total cost to get to all known destinations. A neighboring device examines the information and compares it to their own routing data. Any improvement on what‘s already known is inserted in that device‘s own routing tables. Over time, each networked device discovers the optimal next hop for each destination.
   Route	Lists the IPv4 formatted IP address used for routing packets to a defined destination.
   Flags	The flag signifies the condition of the direct or indirect route.
   Gateway	Displays the gateway IP address used to route packets to the destination subnet.
   Interface	Displays the name of the controller interface or VLAN utilized by the destination subnet.
   Metric	Lists the metric (or cost) of the route to select (or predict) the best route. The metric is computed using a routing algorithm, and covers information bandwidth, network delay, hop count, path cost, load, MTU, reliability, and communication cost.

7. Select the IPv6 Route Entries tab to review route data for IPv6 formatted traffic.
   The IPv6 Route Entries stats display in the right-hand pane.

   

   

   The IPv6 Route Entries screen provides the following information:

   Destination	Displays the IPv6 formatted address of the destination route address. IPv6 addresses are composed of eight groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by colons.
   Gateway	Displays the gateway IP address used to route packets to the destination subnet.
   Interface	Displays the name of the controller interface or VLAN utilized by the destination subnet.
   Flag	The flag signifies the condition of the direct or indirect route.

8. Select Refresh to update the display to the latest values.
