"show ip route" VS "traceroute"

[learnerkang]

Can anyone tell me why I got differenct routing path for same destination 10.10.169.136?

SWITCH1#show ip route 10.10.169.136

Routing entry for 10.10.169.0/24

Known via "static", distance 1, metric 0

Redistributing via eigrp 100

Advertised by eigrp 100

Routing Descriptor Blocks:

* 10.210.2.2

Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1

So the next hop should be 10.210.2.2(static route), right?

But when I trace the same destionation, the first hop I got is not 10.210.2.2. Please refer the following -

SWITCH1#trace 10.10.169.136

Type escape sequence to abort.

3 10.252.1.174 4 msec 0 msec 0 msec

4 10.10.169.136 0 msec * 0 msec

Can anyone explian it to me? Thanks in advance.

The gateway can be a recursive route.

Let's see show ip route 10.210.2.2 from the same switch.

I believe that the suggestion by Edison that it is a recursive route is likely to be the correct answer. But if it turns out not to be a recursive route then another possibility to consider is the possibility that Policy Based Routing has been configured and is sending the traceroute differently from what is indicated in the routing table.

If it is not an issue with a recursive route then could you check for the configuration of PBR?

I think there will be a lot of differences between those two because doesn't the traceroute return the actual interface addresses that it passes through instead of the OSPF addresses used to populate the routing table (RID)?

Yes, you are right. That is recursive route.
