Routing table question

[mohammedmahmoud]

kindly, i have some trouble understanding these three routes when they appear in my routing table:

* candidate default

U per-user static route

P periodic downloaded static route

best regards, and thanks in advance.

* candidate default = 0.0.0.0/0 or other network that has been set via the "ip default-network" command.

U per-user static route = route that has been received via tacacs+ or radius for a given user on a dialer link.

P periodic downloaded static route = route that ha been configured using the following feature:

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Thanks alot, but i've got a further question:

Does candidate default mean that the default route is configured on the router, or the default route is advertised from another router or both.

Thanks in advance.
