show ip nhrp
In DMVPN Phase 3, shortcut routes are created by NHRP. The 'show ip nhrp' command displays the NHRP cache, which includes shortcut entries. The 'show ip route' command shows the routing table, where shortcut routes appear as NHRP-learned routes. The other commands do not show shortcut route information.
