show ip route summary
This command displays a summary of the state of the routing table. When the optional all keyword is given,
some statistics, such as the number of routes from each source, include counts for alternate routes. An
alternate route is a route that is not the most preferred route to its destination and therefore is not installed
in the forwarding table. To include only the number of best routes, do not use the optional keyword.

Best Routes
(High)
The number of best routes currently in the routing table. This number only counts the best
route to each destination. The value in parentheses indicates the highest count of unique
best routes since counters were last cleared.
Alternate Routes The number of alternate routes currently in the routing table. An alternate route is a route
that was not selected as the best route to its destination.
Route Adds The number of routes that have been added to the routing table.
Route Modifies The number of routes that have been changed after they were initially added to the routing
table.
Route Deletes The number of routes that have been deleted from the routing table.
Unresolved Route
Adds
The number of route adds that failed because none of the route’s next hops were on a local
subnet. Note that static routes can fail to be added to the routing table at startup because
the routing interfaces are not yet up. This counter gets incremented in this case. The static
routes are added to the routing table when the routing interfaces come up.
Invalid Route
Adds
The number of routes that failed to be added to the routing table because the route was
invalid. A log message is written for each of these failures.
Failed Route Adds The number of routes that failed to be added to the routing table because of a resource
limitation in the routing table.
