 route. Again, those route types are host, subnet, summary, major network, supernet, and default. The following sections explain the types in more detail. I'll show the routing table entries for each type in bold. Host Route A host route is simply a route with a subnet mask of all ones (255.255.255.255), or a prefix length of /32. In the sample routing table, the route to 192.168.1.11 is a host route: 172.16.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 6 subnets, 2 masks 172.16.200.0/23 is a summary, 00:56:18, Nullo 172.16.200.0/24 is directly connected, Loopback2 172.16.201.0/24 is directly connected, Serialo/o 172.16.202.0/24 is directly connected, Loopback3 172.16.100.0/23 is directly connected, Loopback4 172.16.101.0/24 [90/2172416] via 11.0.0.1, 00:53:07, FastEthernet0/1 10.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, FastEtherneto/o 11.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/1 192.168.1.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets 192.168.1.11 [90/156160] via 11.0.0.1, 00:00:03, FastEthernet0/1 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 11.0.0.1 10.0.0.0/7 is a summary, 00:54:40, Nullo Notice that the route is shown to be a part of a larger network (in this case, 192.168. 1.0). We know this because the host route is shown indented under the major net- work. The router will attempt to show you what classful (major) network contains the route. If the router only knows about a single subnet mask, it will assume that the network has been divided equally with that mask. In this case, the router has The IP Routing Table assumed that the major network 192.168.1.0/24 has been equally subnetted, with each subnet having a /32 mask. Hence, the natively /24 network 192.168.1.0 is shown as 192.168.1.0/32. Subnet Subnets are shown indented under their source major networks. In our example, the major network 172.16.0.0/16 has been subnetted; in fact, it has been subnetted under the rules of Variable Length Subnet Masks (VLSM), which allow each subnet to have a different subnet mask (within certain limits-see Chapter 34 for more detail).
