Routing information

This displays the HMC's current static routing information.

Type:

Net

Specifies a network-specific route.

With a net route, the destination address is the TCP/IP address of a particular network. All TCP/IP communications destined for that network are routed using the TCP/IP address of the router, unless a host route also applies for the communication to the destination host address. When a conflict occurs between a host and net route, the host route is used.

Host

Specifies a host-specific destination.

With a host route, the destination address is the TCP/IP address of a particular host. All TCP/IP communications destined for that host are routed through the router using the router address as the TCP/IP address.

Default

Specifies all destinations not defined with another routing table entry.

With a default route, the destination address is all zeros (0s). If no host or net routes apply when communicating with a destination host address, the communications are routed through the default router using the TCP/IP address given by the router address.
