The
corresponding
routing
table
in
the
SEG
will
be
similar
to
the
following:

Note
that
multicast
routes
have
not
been
included
in
the
SEG
list
but
are
displayed
in
the
Microsoft
listing.
SEG route definition advantages
The
SEG
method
of
defining
routes
makes
it
easier
to
read
and
understand
routing
information.
A
further
advantage
with
the
SEG
approach
is
that
you
can
directly
specify
a
gateway
for
a
particular
route
and
the
following
is
true:
•
A
separate
route
that
includes
the
gateway
IP
address
doesn’t
need
to
be
defined.
•
It
doesn't
matter
even
if
there
is
a
separate
route
that
includes
the
gateway
IP
address
and
routes
traffic
to
a
different
interface.
Composite subnets can be specified
Another
advantage
with
the
SEG
approach
to
route
definition
is
that
it
allows
you
to
specify
routes
for
destinations
that
are
not
aligned
with
traditional
subnet
masks.
For
example,
it
is
perfectly
legal
to
define
one
route
for
the
destination
IPv4
address
range
192.168.0.5
to
192.168.0.17
and
another
route
for
IP
addresses
192.168.0.18
to
192.168.0.254
.
This
is
a
feature
that
makes
SEG
highly
suitable
for
routing
in
highly
complex
network
topologies.
Displaying routing tables
It
is
important
to
note
that
routing
tables
that
are
initially
configured
by
the
administrator
can
have
routes
added,
deleted,
and
changed
automatically
during
live
operation
and
these
changes
will
appear
when
the
routing
table
contents
are
displayed.
These
routing
table
changes
can
take
place
for
different
reasons.
For
example,
if
dynamic
routing
with
OSPF
has
been
enabled,
routing
tables
will
become
populated
with
new
routes
learned
from
communicating
with
other
OSPF
routers
in
an
OSPF
network.
Other
events
such
as
route
failover
can
also
cause
routing
table
contents
to
change
over
time.
