RIB Commands on Cisco IOS XR Software


This chapter describes the commands used to configure Routing Information Base (RIB) for static routes.

For detailed information about RIB concepts, configuration tasks, and examples, see the Implementing RIB on Cisco IOS XR Software configuration guide.

clear route

To clear routes from the IP routing table, use the clear route command in EXEC mode.

clear route {ipv4 | ipv6 | afi-all} {unicast | multicast | safi-all} [ip-address mask]

Syntax Description

ipv4

Specifies IP Version 4 address prefixes.

ipv6

Specifies IP Version 6 address prefixes.

afi-all

Specifies IP Version 4 and IP Version 6 address prefixes.

unicast

Specifies unicast address prefixes.

multicast

Specifies multicast address prefixes.

safi-all

Specifies unicast and multicast address prefixes.

ip-address

Network IP address about which routing information should be displayed.

mask

Network mask specified in either of two ways:

Network mask can be a four-part, dotted-decimal address. For example, 255.0.0.0 indicates that each bit equal to 1 means the corresponding address bit is a network address.

Network mask can be indicated as a slash (/) and number. For example, /8 indicates that the first 8 bits of the mask are 1s, and the corresponding bits of the address are the network address.


Defaults

No default behavior or value

Release 3.2

This command was supported on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router. The afi-all and safi-all keywords were added.


Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

Use the clear route command to clear routes from an IP routing table to a specific network, a matching subnet address, or all routes.

Examples

The following example shows how to remove all routes matching the subnet address 192.168.2.0 and mask 255.255.255.0 from the IPv4 unicast routing table:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# clear route ipv4 unicast 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0

The following example shows how to remove all routes from the IPv4 unicast routing table:

Table 119 describes the significant fields shown in the display.

Table 119 show route Field Descriptions 

Field
Description

C

Code indicating how the route was derived. See the code legend in the output.

10.2.210.0/24

Address and prefix length of the remote network.

Ethernet0/1/0/0

Specifies the interface through which the specified network can be reached.

S

Code indicates the route came from a static route. See code legend in the output.

192.168.40.0/24

Address and prefix length of the remote network connected to the static route.

[1/0]

First number in the brackets is the administrative distance of the information source; the second number is the metric for the route.

via 172.20.16.6

Specifies the address of the next router to the remote network.

1d21h

Specifies the last time the route was updated in days (1d) and hours (21h).


When you request information about a specific network, more detailed statistics are displayed. The following is sample output from the show route command when you include a specific IP address:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show route 192.168.11.0

Routing entry for 192.168.11.0/8
   Known via "connected", distance 0, metric 0 (connected)
   Routing Descriptor Blocks:
     192.168.43.5 directly connected, via Ethernet6/0
      Route metric is 0

When an IS-IS router advertises its link-state information, it includes one of its own IP addresses to be used as the originator IP address. When other networking devices calculate IP routes, they can store the originator IP address with each route in the routing table.

The following example shows the output from the show route command for a specific IP address on a router configured with IS-IS. Each path that is shown under the Routing Descriptor Blocks report displays two IP addresses. The first address (10.0.0.9) is the next hop address; the second is the originator IP address from the advertising IS-IS router. This address helps you determine where a particular IP route has originated in your network.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show route 10.0.0.1

Routing entry for 10.0.0.0/8
Known via "isis", distance 115, metric 10, type level-2
     Installed Jan 22 09:26:56.210

This command was supported on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router. The afi-all and safi-all keywords were added.


Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

Use the show route next-hop command to perform a recursive route lookup on the supplied destination address and return information on the next immediate router (next hop) to the destination.

When the afi-all keyword is used, the ip-address and mask arguments and best-local, longer-prefixes, and next-hop keywords are not available.

Examples

The following is sample output from the show route next-hop command:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show route next-hop 10.0.0.1
Routing entry for 10.0.0.0/24
  Known via "connected", distance 0, metric 0 (connected)

Use the show route summary command to display information about routes in the routing information base.

When a route summary is needed frequently—for instance, in a polling manner—use the show route summary command without the detail keyword. The detail keyword is used less frequently for verification purposes because it is much more expensive (in bandwidth), requiring a scan of the entire routing database.

Examples

The following is sample output from the show route summary command:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show route summary

Route Source    Routes      Backup      Deleted      Memory (bytes) 
static          1           0           0            136
