Confirming Routing entries

[rwalkera]

I am new to checkpoint and more familiar with PIX.
Can anyone comment on how packet flows through a Checkpoint NGX R55 running
on solaris 220r

netstat shows

Routing Table: IPv4
Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface
-------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ---------
1xx.xxx.118.0 1xx.xxx.118.1 UGH 1 0
1xx.xxx.118.0 1xx.xxx.xxx.122 U 129280726 ce1
1xx.xxx.120.0 1xx.xxx.120.160 U 15848515 ce0
192.168.118.0 192.168.118.1 U 1 2 hme0
224.0.0.0 1xx.xxx.120.160 U 1 0 ce0
default 1xx.xxx.120.1 UG 179501810
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 231488436 lo0

1) what do the flags UGH, UH, UG mean relative to this table?
2) Is this all of the routing information I need to determine packet flow in and out of the checkpoint
cluster? Are their other files I should check?

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..
