SUMMARY

Routing and Remote Access provides the KERNROUT command-line utility to manage and/or view routing in Windows NT. When using this command to display the Routing Table by specifying the PRINT parameter, such as in KERNROUT PRINT, one of the columns in the information displayed is Protocol. This information shows the Protocol used by the computerto learn a route. However, the output shows just a number instead of the protocol name.
