show ip route longer-prefixes [7:34834]

[bergenpeak]

Hi,

I've got a router with a number of routes defined (connected interfaces,
route learned from OSPF, etc.)   One of these routes is a default route.

When I do a show ip route for a network which has a specific routing
entry (ie non-default), I get back the expected routing information.

If I do a show ip route for a network not explicitly in the routing
table,
I get a Network not in table.  Why do I get an error message instead
of
the command returning the entry for the default route?

I've noticed that for networks not explicitly covered by a non-default
entry
in the routing table that if I do a show ip route 
longer-prefixes the
default route is returned.

Thanks

Sounds like more of an interface issue than a performance one.  One of the
developers at Cisco (or more likely some company that Cisco bought) figured
that a sh ip route x.x.x.x comand should not take into account a default
route, so the user is not potentially confused, thinking there is a specific
route to that address.  Then another developer added the longer-prefixes
arguement and thought that the default route should be taken into account. 
Just accept it and move on.
