show ip route
This command displays the routing table. The <ip-address> specifies the network for which
the route is to be displayed and displays the best matching best-route for the address. The
<mask> specifies the subnet mask for the given <ip-address>. When you use the
longer-prefixes keyword, the <ip-address> and <mask> pair becomes the prefix, and
the command displays the routes to the addresses that match that prefix. Use the <protocol>
parameter to specify the protocol that installed the routes. The value for <protocol> can be
connected, ospf, rip, or static. Use the all parameter to display all routes including best
and non-best routes. If you do not use the all parameter, the command only displays the best
route.
A “T” flag appended to a route indicates that it is an ECMP route, but only one of its next hops has
been ins
t
alled in the forwarding table. The forwarding table might limit the number of ECMP
routes or the number of ECMP groups. When an ECMP route cannot be installed because such a
limit is reached, the route is installed with a single next hop. Such truncated routes can be
identified by a “T” after the interface name.
Note: If you use the connected keyword for <protocol>, the all option
is not available because there are no best or non-best connected
routes.
The show ip route command display
s the routing tables in the following format:
Code IP-Address/Mask [Preference/Metric] via Next-Hop, Route-Timestamp, Interface
Default Metric The metric assigned to redistributed routes
Default Route
Adver
tise
Whether this router is originating a default route
Distance The administrative distance for RIP routes
Redistribution A table showing information for each source protocol (connected, static, bgp, and ospf).
F
or e
ach of these sources the distribution list and metric are shown. Fields which are not
configured are left blank. For ospf, configured ospf match parameters are also shown
Interface The interfaces where RIP is enabled and the version sent and accepted on each interface
Format show ip route [{<ip-address> [<protocol>] | {<ip-address> <mask>
[longer-prefixes] [<protocol>] | <protocol>} [all] | all}]
