About 'show ip routes' command on Content Engine

[Lancelot2]

Hello!

I have a question.

CE has only one default static route configured, however the output below show that it has 361 cached routes:

#sh ip routes

Destination Gateway Netmask

---------------- ---------------- ----------------

...................................

Number of route cache entries: 361

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What does it mean?

ACNS version 5.3.7

The official documentation is silent in this case.

Thank you.

it's the same as the old version of ip route caching in IOS in the old days.

When the router had to go a routing decision it would cache it for later to speed up routing.

This is the same here.

The CE will cache any recent route lookup decision it had to take.

Gilles.
