<h1 class="topictitle1">General routing rules</h1>
<div><p>These rules apply to TCP/IP in general, and to TCP/IP on your iSeries™ server,
to help you to manage packets.</p>
<p>You should consider these rules as you implement routing functions on your iSeries server.
These rules will help you determine what is happening to the packets on your
system and where they might be going. As with most rules, there are exceptions.</p>
<ul><li>Your system does not have an IP address; only interfaces have IP addresses.<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> <img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Virtual IP (connectionless) addresses are assigned to the system.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></div>
</li>
<li>In general, if the destination IP address is defined on your system, your
system will process it regardless of what interface a packet comes in on.<p>The
exception in this case is that if the address is associated with an unnumbered
interface, or if IP NAT or filtering is active, the packet might be forwarded
or discarded.</p>
</li>
<li>The IP address and mask define the address of the attached network.</li>
<li>The route out of a system is selected based on the network address attached
to an interface. The route selected is based on the following items:<ul><li>Route group search order: direct routes, subnetwork routes, and then default
routes.</li>
<li>Within a group, the route with the most specific subnet mask is chosen.</li>
<li>Equally specific routes are subject to list order or load-balancing techniques.</li>
<li>Routes can be added manually or dynamically by the system.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
