How to show metric in routing table?

SM_3 — Wed, 19 Jan 2005 04:08:23 GMT

How can you display the metrics in a routing table?

For example in WinXp I can
>route print
Which will display the metric in the right most column.

Thanks.

Hi,

I don't have access to a HP-UX server at the moment but I know that on Tru64 "netstat -rv" will display the metric results, it could be same.

Regards,

Peter

What's the Refs or Ref column stand for?

Can someone post the output from netstat with the metric column.

Convice me that the column exists.

Thanks.

It doesn't really exist unless perhaps you run gated. In Hpux the metric is either 0 meaning a local subnet address or not 0 meaning it's not local. Look in the Flags column. If you see a G then the metric is is greater than 0. Don't think a backup default route using a higher metric really works in HPUX. You could try it and see. Ideally it would not show up in netstat -rn until after the prime default stopped working. This would require that you not have turned off Dead Gateway Detection.

The REFs column is supposed to tell you how many times the TCP/IP stack used this particular entry to go somewhere. Don't think it works reliably if you have more than one NIC.
