WHAT IS routing table in Linux?
On Linux and UNIX systems, information on how packets are to be forwarded is stored in a kernel structure called a routing table. You need to manipulate this table when configuring your computer to talk to other computers across a network. The routing table can be used for both static and dynamic routing.
What is CIDR in Linux?
CIDR (classless inter-domain routing) is used to represent a subnet mask in a more compact way. You may see subnets notated in CIDR notation, where a subnet such as the 10.42. 3.0/255.255. 255.0 is written as 10.42. 3.0/24 which just means it includes both the subnet prefix and the subnet mask.
What are the three types of routes in a routing table?
There are 3 types of routing:
- Static routing – Static routing is a process in which we have to manually add routes to the routing table.
- Default Routing – This is the method where the router is configured to send all packets towards a single router (next hop).
- Dynamic Routing –
How do you use routing in Linux?
route command in Linux with Examples
- route command in Linux is used when you want to work with the IP/kernel routing table.
- In case of Debian/Ubuntu $sudo apt-get install net-tools.
- In case of CentOS/RedHat $sudo yum install net-tools.
- In case of Fedora OS.
- To display the IP/kernel routing table.

What is subnet Linux?
A subnet is a logical grouping of devices on a LAN (local area network) that shares a common IP addresses prefix. For example, all devices that have 157.21. 0. as the network segment of their IP address would be part of the same subnet, and they would have full IP addresses such as 157.21. 0.1., 157.21.
