The kernel stores this information in /proc/net/route although it is in 
hexadecimal.

If you just want to list the routing table you can use 'route' for the 
routing table with name resolution or 'route -n' for the routing table 
without resolution.

If you are referring to static routes, that depends on which version of 
RHEL you are using.  Back in the old days, static routes were stored in 
/etc/sysconfig/static-routes or 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/static-routes and now I believe they are stored on an 
interface by interface basis in 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-<interface>.
