If you are tired typing netstat -nr | grep ^x.x.x.x

Might be very obvious for some but in case your routing table is long and you need to search for routes with grep, you might want to add a "shortcut" as follows

echo '#!/bin/bash'>/usr/bin/showroute; echo 'netstat -nr|grep ^$1'>/usr/bin/showroute; chmod +x /usr/bin/showroute‍

then use showroute as your command instead of netstat to find routes, i.e

of course you can change showroute alias to something else

Definitely handy, and one can also use ip route get (IP) to find the one matching route that would be used if (IP) was the destination.

More reliable than show route destination IP in clish?

[Timothy_Hall]

Pretty sure they will both give the same result, would be very surprised if they didn't.
