and other route information. When your computer wants to access an IP address
on another network, it references this table.
Syntax: route print
Parameters: For the purposes of this section, the print parameter is the most
important. If you enter route by itself, the command’s help page displays.
The following example shows the typical output of this command:

Table 141 route print Command Output
OUTPUT DESCRIPTION
Active Routes This section lists all available routes that are automatically
learned from the network.
Network Destination The destination IP address of packets that this route entry is to
route. The destination can be an IP address for a network or host,
0.0.0.0 for the default route or 127.0.0.0 for the loopback
interface which is used mainly for self-test.
The destination 224.0.0.0 is for multicasting packets or reserved
for testing. But if you are not using multicast applications, just
ignore it.
The destination 255.255.255.255 is used to find computers when
an IP address is not known. For example, before the DHCP IP
address of your computer is determined, your computer sends
packets with the destination looking for DHCP servers on the
network.
