The Static Route Table

Every networking device that uses or passes Internet Protocol traffic, and operates at OSI Layer 3 and above, uses a static route table. A static route table defines the networks, the destinations on those networks, and how the destinations can be reached.

To get the static route table for immediate examination, simply type "route print" into a command window.

If you want the data so it is easily compared between computers, you need to export the data into a text file.

• Type into a command window.

  C:\> route print >c:\route.txt

• Then
  
  Type into the same command window, for immediate examination.

C:\> notepad c:\route.txt

• Or,

   C:\> copy file c:\route.txt  

  (to another computer), for comparative examination.
