Displaying Static Routes

Displaying the Routing Table

Use the IP > Routing > Routing Table page to display all routes that can be accessed via local
network interfaces, or through static routes. If route information is available through more than one
of these methods, the priority for route selection is local, and then static. Also note that the route
for a local interface is not enabled (i.e., listed in the routing table) unless there is at least one active
link connected to that interface.

Command Usage

The Forwarding Information Base (FIB) contains information required to forward IP traffic. It
contains the interface identifier and next hop information for each reachable destination
network prefix based on the IP routing table. When routing or topology changes occur in the
network, the routing table is updated, and those changes are immediately reflected in the FIB.

The FIB is distinct from the routing table (or, Routing Information Base – RIB), which holds all
routing information received from routing peers. The FIB contains unique paths only. It does
not contain any secondary paths. A FIB entry consists of the minimum amount of information
necessary to make a forwarding decision on a particular packet. The typical components within
a FIB entry are a network prefix, an egress interface identifier, and next hop information.
