Overview of Routing Information

This section displays the following routing information:

Total—Displays the total number of routes on the switch.

Static—Displays the total number of static routes on the switch.

Routing

The Routing table displays the following details:

Destination—Displays the network address of the destination route.

Gateway—Displays the IP address of the gateway.

VLAN—Displays the VLAN ID of the route destination.

Type—Displays the following types of routes:

Static—The routes that are manually added to the routing table in the switch.

Connected—The routes that are directly connected to the interface.

Sub Type—Displays the subtype of the route as Internal or External.

Metric—Displays the measure used to calculate the best path to reach the destination. A value of 1 indicates the best path, 15 indicates the worst path, and 16 indicates that the destination is unreachable on the route.

Distance—Displays the administrative distance of the route. The administrative distance helps routers determine the best route when there are multiple routes to the destination.

The routing information is displayed from the Aruba 3810 Series and Aruba 5400R switches in the network. The details displayed on the Routing tab are refreshed every five minutes.

Actions

The Actions tab displays the various options available for remote administration of the switch. The following options are available:

Reboot—Reboots the switch. See Monitoring Switches and Switch Stacks.

Tech Support—Allows the administrators to generate a tech support dump for troubleshooting the device. See Monitoring Switches and Switch Stacks.

Console—Opens the remote console for a CLI session through SSH. Ensure that you allow SSH over port 443. The default user ID is admin, but you can edit and customize the user ID. This custom user ID must be mapped to the device. See Monitoring Switches and Switch Stacks.

For Aruba CX 8320 and 8325 switch series, you must enable SSH server on the default VRF. Add the ssh server vrf default code to the template.
