4. Routing Tables Each slot on the router maintains an independent routing table or routing pool The table is the default but not initial source for a slot to look up routing information necessary to forward locally received packets Each routing table continuously receives from IP and all other nonmulticast IP protocols configured on the router updates on routes added changed or deleted in your network By means of this continuous high speed internal update mechanism the system synchronizes the contents of routing tables on all slots The only exceptions to this rule or slot reset operation occur during the first 10 seconds of a router boot 8 76 117381 A Rev A System Administration Unlike the show ip script command which retrieves from the router s active MIB an aggregated view of data from IP routing tables and internal caches across all slots the Technician Interface ip command retrieves the contents of the routing table on a single slot that you specify For this reason the ip command retrieves information significantly faster than the show ip command With the ip command you can examine e The entire contents of the routing table on any slot e A subset of the total contents of the routing table on any slot You limit the view of a routing table by applying filters subcommand options and flags to the ip command syntax For example you can enter ip routes lt s gt where lt s gt
