Sorting routes -- was --> Re:

I don't think you can sort the routes
via the router's command line. Unless
Cisco integrates the unix sort command
into the IOS like they did grep.

But A better (than Excel) "real life"
option is the unix sort command. If you
don't have access to a unix or linux
system, you can get a 'port' of the unix
sort command for an MS Windows box. See
the link below.

For more info on using the unix sort
command for IP addrs, see Paul
Heinlein's web site.

Sort IP Addresses with GNU sort
http://www.madboa.com/geek/sort-addr/

i.e.,

sort -t . -n -k1,1, -k2,2 -k3,3 -k4,4

        Hey Kevin,
        
        Good idea. In real life, I find myself using excel and importing and then
        sorting quite a bit. Using it to put routes in order for sum'ing is a good
        idea. Not going to help in the lab, but a good real-life tool for sure.
