sh ip route summary ?

6509_6509
Level 1
Level 1

My Route is running BGP before I added an static route on the Router, I issue show ip route summary, Then it shows that there is 82 static routes.

However, After I added an static route on the Router

I issue show ip route summary again, it still shows that there is 82 static routes.

Is my router working in good conditions ?

Thanks for ALL PRo

In the output for "show ip route summary" tehre is actually two counters you should look at:

r1#sh ip ro summ

IP routing table name is Default-IP-Routing-Table(0)

Route Source Networks Subnets Overhead Memory (bytes)

connected 1 0 64 152

static 1 1 128 304

bgp 1111 0 0 0 0

External: 0 Internal: 0 Local: 0

internal 1 1172

Total 3 1 192 1628

r1#

If you add a route with a classful mask, it will be added to the number of networks. If you add a route with a mask longer than the classful mask, it will be added to the number of subnets.

As long as your static entry show in the routing table and that you forward traffic to it, I would say your router works fine.

Hope this helps,
