TCP/IP Route Question

Hi All,

 

I was reviewing the TCP/IP route info on our AS/400 and I see there are
multiple entries for the same record:

 

Route            Subnet           Next               Route   

 Destination      Mask             Hop              Available 

 127.0.0.0        255.0.0.0        *DIRECT            *YES    

 172.16.0.0       255.255.0.0      192.168.0.2        *YES    

 192.168.0.0      255.255.255.0    *DIRECT            *YES    

 192.168.0.0      255.255.255.0    *DIRECT            *YES    

 192.168.200.0    255.255.255.0    192.168.0.2        *YES    

 224.0.0.0        240.0.0.0        *DIRECT            *YES    

 224.0.0.0        240.0.0.0        *DIRECT            *YES    

 224.0.0.0        240.0.0.0        *DIRECT            *YES    

 *DFTROUTE        *NONE            192.168.0.1        *YES    

 

Is there a reason why I would need multiple entries of the same record?
If not, when I try to delete the duplicates (using the rmvtcprte
command), will it delete a single entry, or will it delete all entries
for that record?

 

Thanks!

 

Brian.
