title: About the aws_route_table Resource
platform: aws
---
# aws\_route\_table
Use the `aws_route_table` InSpec audit resource to test properties of a single Route Table. A route table contains a set of rules, called routes, that are used to determine where network traffic is directed.
<br>
## Syntax
# Ensure that a certain route table exists by name
describe aws_route_table('rtb-123abcde') do
it { should exist }
end
## Resource Parameters
### route\_table\_id
This resource expects a single parameter that uniquely identifies the Route Table. You may pass it as a string, or as the value in a hash:
describe aws_route_table('rtb-123abcde') do
it { should exist }
end
# Same
describe aws_route_table(route_table_id: 'rtb-123abcde') do
it { should exist }
end
## Matchers
For a full list of available matchers, please visit our [matchers page](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/matchers/).
### exist
Indicates that the Route Table provided was found. Use `should_not` to test for Route Tables that should not exist.
describe aws_route_table('should-be-there') do
it { should exist }
end
describe aws_route_table('should-not-be-there') do
it { should_not exist }
end
