Caution The * keyword is severely disruptive to routing.
To clear one or more entries in the unicast RIB, use the following commands in any mode:
Verifying the Unicast RIB and FIB 
To verify the unicast RIB and FIB information, use the following commands:
Command Purpose
clear {ip | ipv4 | ipv6} route {* | 
{
route
 | 
prefix/length
}[
next-hop
 
interface
]} [vrf 
vrf-name
] 
Example:
switch(config)# clear ip route 
10.2.2.2 
Clears one or more routes from both the unicast RIB and 
all the module FIBs. The route options are as follows:
• *—All routes.

• prefix/length—Any IP or IPv6 prefix.
• next-hop—The next-hop address
• interface—The interface to reach the next-hop 
address.
The vrf-name can be any case-sensitive alphanumeric 
string up to 64 characters.
