Which command is used to see routes in routing table?

verbose: Displays detailed routing table information, including that for inactive routes. With this keyword absent, the command displays only brief information about active routes.

|: Filters command output by specifying a regular expression. For more information about regular expressions, see the Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

begin: Displays the first line that matches the specified regular expression and all lines that follow.

exclude: Displays all lines that do not match the specified regular expression.

include: Displays all lines that match the specified regular expression.

regular-expression: Specifies a regular expression, which is a case sensitive string of 1 to 256 characters.

Description

Use the display ip routing-table command to display brief information about active routes in the routing table.

This command displays brief information about a routing table, with a routing entry contained in one line. The information displayed includes destination IP address/mask length, protocol, priority, cost, next hop and outbound interface. This command displays only the optimal routes in use.

Use the display ip routing-table verbose command to display detailed information about all routes in the routing table.

This command displays detailed information about all active and inactive routes, including the statistics of the entire routing table and information for each route.

Priority of the route

Cost

Cost of the route

Address of the next hop on the route

Interface

Outbound interface for packets to be forwarded along the route

BkNextHop

Backup next hop

BkInterface

Label

Label

State

Route status:

Active

This is an active unicast route.

Adv

This route can be advertised.

Delete

This route is deleted.

Gateway

This is an indirect route.

Holddown

Number of holddown routes.

Int

The route was discovered by an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP).

NoAdv

The route is not advertised when the router advertises routes based on policies.

NotInstall

Among routes to a destination, the route with the highest priority is installed into the core routing table and advertised. A NotInstall route cannot be installed into the core routing table but can be advertised.

Reject

The packets matching a Reject route will be dropped. Besides, the router sends ICMP unreachable messages to the sources of the dropped packets. The Reject routes are usually used for network testing.

Static

A static route is not lost when you perform the save operation and then restart the router. Routes configured manually are marked as static.

Unicast

Unicast routes

Inactive

Inactive routes

Invalid

Invalid routes

WaitQ

The route is the WaitQ during route recursion.

TunE

Tunnel

GotQ

The route is in the GotQ during route recursion.

Age

Time for which the route has been in the routing table, in the sequence of hour, minute, and second from left to right.

Which command is used to see the routing table?
