About FIB table
A device uses the FIB table to make packet forwarding decisions.
A device selects optimal routes from the routing table, and puts them into the FIB table. Each FIB entry specifies the next hop IP address and output interface for packets destined for a specific subnet or host.
For more information about the routing table, see "Configuring basic IP routing."
Use the display fib command to display the FIB table. The following example displays the entire FIB table.
<Sysname> display fib
Destination count: 4 FIB entry count: 4
Flag:
U:Useable G:Gateway H:Host B:Blackhole D:Dynamic S:Static
R:Relay F:FRR
Destination/Mask Nexthop Flag OutInterface/Token Label
10.2.0.0/16 10.2.1.1 U MGE1/0/1 Null
10.2.1.1/32 127.0.0.1 UH InLoop0 Null
127.0.0.0/8 127.0.0.1 U InLoop0 Null
127.0.0.1/32 127.0.0.1 UH InLoop0 Null
A FIB entry includes the following items:
· Destination—Destination IP address.
· Mask—Network mask. The mask and the destination address identify the destination network. A logical AND operation between the destination address and the network mask yields the address of the destination network. For example, if the destination address is 192.168.1.40 and the mask 255.255.255.0, the address of the destination network is 192.168.1.0. A network mask includes a certain number of consecutive 1s. It can be expressed in dotted decimal format or by the number of the 1s.
· Nexthop—IP address of the next hop.
· Flag—Route flag.
· OutInterface—Output interface.
· Token—MPLS Label Switched Path index number.
· Label—Inner label.
