show route summary

Syntax

show route summary<logical-system (all | logical-system-name)><table routing-table-name>

Syntax (EX Series Switches)

show route summary

Release Information

Command introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

Command introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.

Description

Display summary statistics about the entries in the routing table.

CPU utilization might increase while the device learns routes. We recommend that you use the show route summary command after the device learns and enters the routes into the routing table. Depending on the size of your network, this might take several minutes. If you receive a “timeout communicating with routing daemon” error when using the show route summary command, wait several minutes before attempting to use the command again. This is not a critical system error, but you might experience a delay in using the command-line interface (CLI).

Options

none

Display summary statistics about the entries in the routing table.

logical-system (all | logical-system-name)

(Optional) Perform this operation on all logical systems or on a particular logical system.

table routing-table-name

(Optional) Display summary statistics for all routing tables whose name begins with this string (for example, inet.0 and inet6.0 are both displayed when you run the show route summary table inet command). If you only want to display statistics for a specific routing table, make sure to enter the exact name of that routing table.

Table 1: show route summary Output Fields

Field Name

Field Description

Router ID

Address of the local routing device.

routing-table-name

Name of the routing table (for example, inet.0).

destinations

Number of destinations for which there are routes in the routing table.

routes

Number of routes in the routing table:

  • active—Number of routes that are active.
  • holddown—Number of routes that are in the hold-down state before being declared inactive.
  • hidden—Number of routes that are not used because of routing policy.

Limit/Threshold

Displays the configured route limits for the routing table set with the maximum-prefixes and the maximum-paths statements. If you do not configure route limits for the routing table, the show output does not display this information.

  • destinations—The first number represents the maximum number of route prefixes installed in the routing table. The second number represents the number of route prefixes that trigger a warning message.
  • routes—The first number represents the maximum number of routes. The second number represents the number of routes that trigger a warning message.

Direct

Routes on the directly connected network.

Local

Local routes.

protocol-name

Name of the protocol from which the route was learned. For example, OSPF, RSVP, and Static.
