Consider the following scenario:
Note The routing table is maintained by the application or the service. It is not the system routing table.
Here is a sample scenario:
- You configure multiple addresses for a network adapter on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7.
- You change IP address information about the network adapter. The changed IP address is not the first bound address. For example, you add a new IP address to the adapter, you remove an IP address, or you change the IP address configuration.
Note This operation should trigger the operating system to send route change notifications. - You run an application or a service that registers to receive route change notifications on the computer.
Note The routing table is maintained by the application or the service. It is not the system routing table.
Here is a sample scenario:
- You install Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2. This service registers to receive route change notifications.
- You add a second IP address to a network adapter on the computer.
- You open the Routing and Remote Access window, right-click the network adapter, and then select Show IP Routing Table.
