Displays the following routes and their types: o A - Active route (created manually or associated with an interface) o D - Dynamic route (created by ROUTED or GATED routing daemon) o H - Host route (a route to a host) o N - Network route (a route to a network) o P - Permanent (from the routes database) Related command: SET ROUTE Format SHOW ROUTE [ destination ] [ /FULL ] [ /GATEWAY=host ] [ /LOCAL ] [ /OUTPUT=file ] [ /PERMANENT ]
