Keeping Statistics on Routing Table Changes
Problem
You want to keep statistics on how stable your routing table is.
Solution
IOS Version 12.0 introduced a seldom-used feature that allows you to statistically monitor fluctuations in your routing tables:
Router#configure terminalEnter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#ip route profileRouter(config)#endRouter#
Once this command is enabled, you can check the stability of your network:
Router#show ip route profile
IP routing table change statistics:
