(no subject)

Good evening team,

Cisco fanatic, in reference to your earlier email and dealing with large
routing tables. When trying to test yourself and your configs I like to use
the show ip route command with the additional filter / option 'include'.
This works for me and you can get pretty specific results with this option.

Take a baseline / snapshot before your changes. You should know what it
looks like now, and you should know what it should look like after your
changes. (I know this goes without saying .... but ... ) If you do not know
what it should look like afterward, you probably should not be making the
changes in the first place.

After you make changes, use the show ip route command and verify the output
looks as you expect or desire. Another way to validate your changes and
verify the results is to shut and no shut redundant links. Verify using the
show ip route command that your network still has the expected or desired
output.

A good topic you bring up. Nice to hear what works for peeps. HTH,

Andrew
