Showing IP Routing Information

Use the show ip routes command to display IP routing information. The syntax and options for this command are as follows:

show ip routes - Displays the entire routing table, including host IP address, next hop, interface, route type, protocol, age (in seconds), and metric.

show ip routes firewall - Displays all firewall routes.

show ip routes local - Displays all local routes.

show ip routes ospf - Displays all OSPF routes.

show ip routes rip - Displays all RIP routes.

show ip routes static - Displays all static routes.

show ip routes summary - Displays the total number of OSPF routes (including a breakdown of Intra, Inter, and Ext routes), RIP routes, local routes, static routes, and firewall routes.

show ip routes ip_or_host {to ip_or_host mask_or_prefix} - Displays information about a route to a destination, a specific route, or routes in a range.

The variables are as follows:

ip_or_host - The IP address of the host or network prefix. Enter an IP address in dotted-decimalnotation (for example, 192.168.11.1). The IP address after the to keyword is the final IP address in a range.

mask_or_prefix - Subnet address of the specific network. Enter the subnet address in mask or prefix notation (for example, /24).

To show all IP routes in the CSS, enter:

#show ip routes
