Routing table poisoning and attacks on the management plane
Routing tables are defined as the set of rules and information presented in a tabular format that determine the route of the traffic in the network. The routing table is the most important part of any routing protocol, as it represents the configuration of the routers concerning the IP addresses and is directly connected to neighboring routers.
The routing table usually consists of the destination IP address, subnet mask, and interface. This is shown as follows:
Destination Address |
Subnet Mask |
Interface |
192.168.1.0/24 |
255.255.255.0 |
FastEthernet0/0 |
192.168.2.0/24 |
255.255.255.0 |
FasthEthernet0/1 |
Default |
