In large networks a destination network may be reachable via several gateways. If all these gateways propagate their routes using RIP the device will learn several routes to the same destination. The preferred routes are stored in the "Best Routes" table. This table contains the following entries:
- IP address
- IP-Netmask
- Rtg-Tag
- Gateway
- Distance
- Time
- Peer
- Port
- VLAN-ID
- Network name
- SNMP ID:
- 2.8.8.8
- Console path:
- Setup > IP-Router > RIP > Best-Routes
