Dumb question, but didn't readily see it in the documentation; pointers to where it is in the doc would be humbly appreciated. The following is typical response for BIRDC route query: bird> show route 192.168.5.0/24 all 192.168.5.0/24 via 10.110.110.5 on tun4 [bm 13:21 from 65.242.137.98] * (100/?)

What does the "100/" signify? Is it local preference, or the route metric, or something else? What does the "/?" signify? Some examples show "-" or a numeric value.

Probably not documented, so it's not a dumb question at all!

What does the '*' in the response signify? "Valid" like in cisco?
No it means "best".
What does the "100/" signify? Is it local preference, or the route metric, or something else?
That's a route preference.
What does the "/?" signify? Some examples show "-" or a numeric value.
It's IGP metric and question mark means "unknown" and '-' means "unresolvable". Ondrej
Thanks.
