Routing Tables and Route Propagation

Routing tables play a crucial role in managing network traffic within an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). They determine how network traffic is directed between subnets, VPCs, and on-premises networks.

A routing table is a set of rules, known as routes, that specify where network traffic should be directed. Each subnet within a VPC is associated with a routing table, and by default, the main route table is assigned to all subnets.

To configure routing tables and propagate routes between VPCs and on-premises networks, follow these steps:

1. Create custom route tables: By default, each VPC comes with a main route table. However, you can create custom route tables to define specific routing rules for different subnets or VPCs.

2. Associate subnets with route tables: Associate each subnet with a specific route table that contains the desired routing rules for that subnet.

3. Propagate routes between VPCs: To allow traffic to flow between VPCs, you can configure route propagation. Route propagation enables routes from one VPC to be propagated to another VPC.

4. Configure route priorities: When multiple routes match a destination, the route with the lowest numerical prefix length takes precedence. You can adjust the priorities of routes by modifying their prefix lengths.

5. Test network connectivity: After configuring routing tables and route propagation, verify network connectivity between subnets, VPCs, and on-premises networks to ensure traffic is routed correctly.

Here's an example Java code snippet that demonstrates how to display the text "Routing Tables and Route Propagation":

1class Main {
2  public static void main(String[] args) {
3    System.out.println("Routing Tables and Route Propagation");
4  }
5}

In this example, the main method prints the text "Routing Tables and Route Propagation" to the console. This code snippet can be used as a starting point to further explore the topic of routing tables and route propagation in AWS.

class Main {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    // Replace with your Java logic here

    System.out.println("Routing Tables and Route Propagation");

  }
