What letter appears next to a route automatically created by RouterOS when a valid address is added to an active interface?

In MikroTik RouterOS, when a valid address is added to an active interface, a route is automatically created for the network associated with that address. This route is designated with the letter "C," which stands for "Connected." A connected route indicates that the route is directly linked to an interface on the router with an active IP address.

This mechanism allows RouterOS to automatically handle routing for directly connected networks, simplifying network configuration and ensuring that traffic for these networks is correctly routed without manual entry. The letter "C" helps administrators quickly identify routes that are connected to the router's interfaces, distinguishing them from other types of routes, such as static or dynamic routes, which are indicated by different letters.

Understanding these route types is essential for effectively managing MikroTik routers and troubleshooting any potential routing issues.
