What information is shown when using the 'show system route' command?

The 'show system route' command displays static routing table entries for the Fortinet device. This command is essential for network administrators as it provides a detailed view of the configured routes within the system, allowing them to understand how traffic is directed based on the static entries available.

Static routes are manually configured by the administrator and define paths that network packets should follow to reach specific network segments or devices. These entries are critical for ensuring correct network traffic flow, especially in complex environments where dynamic routing may not be suitable or desired.

Utilizing this command, administrators can quickly verify the routing setup to troubleshoot issues or optimize network performance by ensuring that traffic is being routed as intended according to the established static routes. This command does not provide information about dynamic routing protocols, firewall policies, or system uptime statistics, which are covered by other commands in the Fortinet system.
