How can you view the routing table on a Windows PC?

Run route print or netstat -r; both show three sections — the Interface List, the IPv4 Route Table, and the IPv6 Route Table.

Windows Host Routing Table Commands:

Command Description
route print Display the routing table
netstat -r Alternative command to display routing table

The output shows three sections:

  1. Interface List - All potential interfaces and their MAC addresses
  2. IPv4 Route Table - Routes for IPv4 destinations
  3. IPv6 Route Table - Routes for IPv6 destinations

Key route types in the output:

  • Network Destination: Target network
  • Netmask: Subnet mask for the route
  • Gateway: Next hop address (0.0.0.0 means directly connected)
  • Interface: Which local interface to use
  • Metric: Route preference (lower = preferred)
