# ![cisco ip routes](https://www.manageengine.com/products/oputils/help/cisco_uitlities/images/ip_routes.gif) IP Routes Tool ![](https://www.manageengine.com/products/oputils/help/introduction/images/professionaledition.jpg)

The IP Routes utility of OpUtils software is used to view the static and dynamic routes of a Cisco Router. If CDP is enabled the tool also provides details of the neighboring Cisco devices. The tool provides the IP routing details of the Cisco router. It shows the interface name, IP Address of the next hop, destination IP Address, type, protocol, and age.

## To view the routes of a Router

1. Click the **Tools** tab.
2. Choose **Device Explorer** available under the **CISCO Tools** category.
3. Select the **IP Routes** from the tree.
4. Enter the **Router's Name** or its **IP Address**.  
   **Note**: Ensure the Router specified is a CISCO Router.
5. Enter the SNMP **Community** String of the Router.
6. To configure SNMP properties click **Settings** located at the top right corner or click **Admin -> Settings**. For details read the [Configuring SNMP](https://www.manageengine.com/products/oputils/help/setting_up_environment/configuring_snmp.html) section.
7. Click the **Show** button.
8. Check the results. The results include the **Destination** IP Address; number of **Interfaces**; **Next Hop** details; the **Type** of connection (Remote/Direct) between the router and the destination; the **Protocol**; and the **Age** (i.e., the time in seconds taken between hops).
