WHAT IS ROUTING TABLE?

A ROUTING TABLE SERVES AS A ROUTER’S GUIDE, CONTAINING ENTRIES FOR NETWORKS CONNECTED, SET
UP STATICALLY, OR LEARNED DYNAMICALLY. THE COMMAND “SHOW IP ROUTE” OFFERS INSIGHTS INTO
THESE ENTRIES. THIS INFORMATION HELPS ADMINISTRATORS UNDERSTAND AND MANAGE THE ROUTER’S
ROUTING DECISIONS. ROUTING TABLE OF A CISCO ROUTER

NETWORK MASK: A NETMASK, A 32-BIT “MASK,” DIVIDES AN IP ADDRESS INTO SUBNETS
AND IDENTIFIES AVAILABLE HOSTS WITHIN A NETWORK. FIXED VALUES IN A NETMASK
INCLUDE 0 AND 255.. FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE NETMASK 255.255.225.0
, “0” REPRESENTS THE NETWORK ADDRESS, WHILE “255” DENOTES THE BROADCAST
ADDRESS (255.255.255.255).

THE SIZE OF A NETWORK IS DEFINED BY ITS NETWORK MASK. IN DOTTED


DECIMAL NOTATION, THE NETWORK MASK IS PRESENTED AS A PREFIX. FOR
INSTANCE:
• – /8 IS REPRESENTED AS 11111111.00000000.00000000.00000000 OR
255.0.0.0.
• – /28 IS REPRESENTED AS 11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000 OR
255.255.255.240. THE NETWORK MASK HELPS IDENTIFY WHICH BITS IN
THE IP ADDRESS ARE NETWORK BITS AND WHICH ARE HOST BITS.
NEXT-HOP:

The term “next hop” in routing refers to the next router through which a data packet is
expected to pass. It signifies the next possible destination within a series of connected
routers in a network. In a routing table entry, you may see a statement like “172.17.1.0
[120/1] via 10.10.0.3

00:00:19. FastEthernet0/1,” where the address following “via” (10.10.0.3 in this case) is
the next hop. This means that packets will be routed to the specified address.

For example, when considering the jumps from router R1 to R4: R1 → R3 → R4 Here, R3 is
the next hop for R4 after R1. It signifies that data packets from R1 will be passed through
R3 on their way to R4.
ROUTING PROTOCOL CODE:

• At the top of the output, you’ll find


the routing protocol codes in the
routing table. These codes tell you
which routing protocol was used to
create a particular entry. Routing
Protocol Code List of CISCO Router
There are approximately 24 protocol
codes, each representing the source
from which the routes were obtained
before being added to the Forwarding
Information Base (FIB).
ADMINISTRATIVE DISTANCE

1. When routers encounter more


than one routes with the same
prefix, they determine which
one to use by comparing their
administrative distances.
Routers have preferences for
certain routing protocols and
route types over others. The
information about
administrative distance and
metrics is enclosed in square
brackets. Below is a list of
administrative distances.
METRIC:

• The metric, denoted by the last number within the square


brackets [], is a crucial factor in routing tables. For instance, in
line 3, which points to the route for 10.234.132.0/24 via
10.200.20.46, there’s an Administrative Distance of 110 and an
OSPF metric of 2. The metric serves as an internal measure used
by routing protocols to evaluate the quality of a route. Each
routing protocol has its own way of calculating metrics. In
general, a lower metric is considered favorable, suggesting a
route that the routing protocol views as better or more efficient.
METRIC:
• Several parameters contribute to the calculation of a routing metric, including:
• Hop count: The number of intermediate devices (hops) between the source and destination.
• Path reliability: The dependability or stability of the route.
• Path speed: The rate at which data can travel along the route.
• Load: The amount of traffic or data currently being handled by the route.
• Bandwidth: The capacity of the route to transmit data.
• Latency: The delay experienced in transmitting data across the route.
• Maximum transmission unit: The maximum size of data packets that can be transmitted
over the route.
These parameters provide a comprehensive view of the characteristics of each route, enabling
the routing algorithm to make informed decisions about the most suitable path for efficient
data transfer within the network.
GATEWAY OF LAST RESORT:

• The gateway of last resort acts similarly to a


“Default Gateway” or “Default Router,” but with
a distinction – it comes into play only when
there are no other entries in the routing table.
The statement “Gateway of last resort is not
set” in the excerpt indicates that if there’s no
specific route for a subnet in the routing table,
any packet headed to that subnet would be
discarded.
