Displaying the Routing Table
Use the IP > Routing > Routing Table (Show Information) page to display all routes

information is available through more than one of these methods, the priority for
route selection is local and then static. Also note that the route for a local interface
is not enabled (i.e., listed in the routing table) unless there is at least one active link
connected to that interface.
Command Usage
◆ The Forwarding Information Base (FIB) contains information required to
forward IP traffic. It contains the interface identifier and next hop information
for each reachable destination network prefix based on the IP routing table.
When routing or topology changes occur in the network, the routing table is
updated, and those changes are immediately reflected in the FIB.
The FIB is distinct from the routing table (or, Routing Information Base – RIB),
which holds all routing information received from routing peers. The FIB
contains unique paths only. It does not contain any secondary paths. A FIB
entry consists of the minimum amount of information necessary to make a
forwarding decision on a particular packet. The typical components within a
