Routing Notes
Understanding the Windows Server 2003 Routing Table
The Windows Server 2003 routing table contains the following standard fields:
* Network Destination
* Netmask
* Gateway
* Interface
* Metric
* Protocol
With Windows Server 2003, you can view the routing table using:
* The route command from the command line. The route commands in Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 are all the same
* The Routing and Remote Access management console. You an access the Routing and Remote Access console by clicking Start, Administrative Tools, and then clicking Routing and Remote Access.
The main differences between the previous routing tables and the Windows Server 2003 routing tables are listed below:
* With Windows Server 2003, the routing metric is automatically calculated by the TCP/IP protocol. The speed of the interface is used to determine the routing metric. The feature is automatically enabled by default.
* With the previous routing tables, the netmask for the Class D multicast is specified as 224.0.0.0. With Windows Server 2003 routing tables, the netmask for the Class D multicast is specified as 240.0.0.0.
* The routing tables in Windows Server 2003 can be viewed and maintained through the Routing and Remote Access management console. In Windows 2000 and Windows XP, routing tables could only be viewed and modified from the command line, using the route command.
How to view the routing table in Window Server 2003:
1. Click Start, Administrative Tools, and click Routing And Remote Access to open the Routing And Remote Access console.
2. In the console tree, expand the IP Routing node.
3. Right-click the Static Routes node, and then select the Show IP Routing Table command from the shortcut menu.
4. When the routing table is viewed from the Routing And Remote Access console, the Protocol field is displayed. The Protocol field indicates the manner in which the route was discovered.

Show IP routing Table from the shortcut menu.
4. To add a static routing table entry, expand the IP Routing node, and then select Static routes.
5. Right-click Static Routes, and click Add Static Route on the shortcut menu.
6. The Static Route dialog box opens.
7. From the Interface drop-down list box, select the interface.
8. Enter a value for Destination.
9. Enter a value for Network mask.
10. Enter a value for Gateway.
11. Enter a value for Metric.
12. Leave the demand-dial connections checkbox enabled if the route is to be used for demand-
dial connections.
13. Click OK.
How to delete routing table entries using the Routing And Remote Access console
1. Click Start, Administrative Tools, and click Routing And Remote Access to open the Routing And Remote Access console.
2. In the console tree, expand the IP Routing node.
3. Select Static Routes to display the current static routes in the right pane.
4. Locate and select the static route that you want to remove from the IP routing table.
5. Right-click the specific static route, and then select Delete from the shortcut menu.
6. The static route is immediately removed from the routing table.
How to disable the automatic metric calculation feature:
1. Click Start, Control Panel, and then click Network Connections.
2. Select Local Area Connection.

6. The Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog box contains a number of tabs: IP Settings tab, DNS
tab, WINS tab and Options tab.
7. The IP Settings tab is divided into the following areas:
* IP addresses
* Default gateways
* Automatic metric
8. In the Automatic metric area of the IP Settings tab, uncheck the Automatic metric checkbox
to disable the automatic metric calculation feature.
9. You can manually enter the Interface metric once the automatic metric calculation feature is
disabled.
10. Proceed to set the value for the Interface metric in the available field.
11. Click OK to save your changes and close the Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog box.
12. Click OK to close the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box.
