Route Table

The Security & SD-WAN > Monitor > Route table page provides status information about configured routes. It contains the following columns:

  • Status: Indicates whether the destination is reachable using the route.
    • Green: the route to the destination subnet is up and is being used.
    • Red: the route to the destination subnet is currently down.
    • Grey: multiple routes for the destination subnet exist and a higher priority route is currently being used.
    • None/( - ): the status is unknown. This is the default state while waiting for the status of a route.
  • Version: Indicates if the destination subnet is IPv4 or IPv6.
  • Subnet: The destination subnet that is being routed to. Mouse over the indicator for more details about the connectivity state of the route.
    • Hovering over the clipboard_e2f6ff83fe10a8b33a464812693927222.png next to the subnet will expose additional attributes such as AS Path, Origin, Local Preference, Next Hop and historical connectivity information. 
  • Name: The VLAN name or static route description associated with the subnet. For Meraki AutoVPN subnets, the Name field will show the Dashboard network name of the remote appliance as well as the VLAN name or static route description. Non-Meraki subnets will show the non-Meraki VPN peer name configured on Dashboard.
  • VLAN: The VLAN ID of the Subnet if the subnet is configured locally on the MX or learned from AutoVPN.
  • Next hop: This is the IP address of the next hop routing device to which the MX sends its traffic for the Subnet. If it is an AutoVPN route, the Next hop will be the name of the Dashboard network for the AutoVPN peer. If it is a non-Meraki VPN route, the Next hop will be the non-Meraki VPN peer name.
  • Destination: This is the end point where traffic will be sent. This will often match the information in the Next hop column, with exceptions.
    • If an AutoVPN spoke learns a route from a remote AutoVPN spoke, the Destination column will show the remote AutoVPN spoke name. 
    • IPv4 and IPv6 default WAN routes will indicate that a WAN interface is used as their destination.
  • Type: The route type being used to reach the destination subnet.

The Rebuild button can be used to manually rebuild the Dashboard route table if there are recent route configuration changes that are not currently reflected on the route table.
