NSE7 Advanced Networking and SD-WAN Practice Question
Which command is used on a FortiGate to view the current routing table including VRF instances?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is that candidates familiar with Cisco IOS often default to 'show ip route' (Option A), not realizing that FortiGate uses a completely different CLI syntax where 'get router info' is the equivalent operational command for viewing routing tables.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
get router info routing-table all
'get router info routing-table all' is the FortiGate CLI command that displays the complete routing table, including all VRF instances. This command retrieves the kernel routing table entries for every VRF, showing routes from all routing protocols (static, OSPF, BGP, etc.) and is the standard way to view the full routing context on FortiGate.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
show ip route
Why it's wrong here
This is a Cisco command, not FortiGate.
- ✓
get router info routing-table all
Why this is correct
This shows all VRFs routing tables.
- ✗
diagnose ip route list
Why it's wrong here
This is not a valid command; the correct is 'diagnose ip route list'? Actually 'diagnose ip route list' shows kernel routing table.
- ✗
execute router list
Why it's wrong here
This is not a standard command.
