Default Re: Confirming Routing entries

hi there,

here is a short explaination of the routing table flags:

– U=Up: is to use when destination is directly connected or can be connected over a gateway
– G=Gateway: it's a destination that can be connected over a gateway (Router)
– H=Host: the destination is a single host
– D=Dynamic: the entry is made automatically (e.g. by RIP "Routing Information Protocol“)
– M=Modified: the entry was modified automatically

The routing table is a set of rules, that is used to determine where data packets traveling over an Internet Protocol (IP) network will be directed.
Hope this helps a little bit..

Greetings crispbee
