show ip bgp


Displays entries in the BGP routing table for one network prefix or the entire BGP routing table.

Syntax: show ip bgp [prefix-length]

prefix-length

Display BGP information for a single network prefix.

Description: Use the show ip bgp command to display entries in the BGP routing table.

Use the prefix-length keyword to display information for a single network prefix.

Factory Default: None.

Command Mode: Executive and privileged.

Example 1: The following is sample output from the show ip bgp command for the entire BGP routing table:

router#show ip bgp

Status codes: * - valid Origin codes: i - IGP

d - damped e - EGP

h - history ? - incomplete

s - suppressed > - best

a - aggregate

The following table describes the fields in the display:

Table 4-3. Fields Displayed by show ip bgp 
Field Description

Status codes

Status of the entry in the table. Valid values are:

  • * - Entry is valid.

  • d - Route is currently damped.

  • h - Route has earned some penalty points, but not enough points to exceed threshold. See bgp dampening.

  • s - Route is suppressed. See bgp dampening.

  • a - Entry is an aggregate route. See aggregate-address.

  • i- Entry was learned from an IGP (IS-IS or OSPF) in the local autonomous system.

Network

IP address of a network. Optionally includes the network mask.

Next Hop

IP address of the next system used when forwarding packets to the destination network. 0.0.0.0 in this field indicates the router has non-BGP routes to the network.

Metric

Inter-autonomous system metric.

IGP Metric

Specifies the IS-IS metric or OSPF cost value.

LocPrf

Local preference value. See the set local-preference route map configuration command. Default value is 100.

Weight

Weight of the route as defined by set weight and router bgp route map configuration commands.

IGP Prtocol

IGP Protocol: IS-IS or OSPF.

Originator

Specifies the router ID of the originator of the route in the local AS.

Cluster list

A sequence of cluster ID values representing the reflection path that the route has passed.

Path

Autonomous system path to the destination network. One entry in this field per autonomous system in the path.

IGP Next-Hop

IP address of the next system used when forwarding packets to the destination network. 0.0.0.0 in this field indicates the router has non-BGP routes to the network.

Origin codes

Identifies the origin of the entry. Valid values are listed below.

  • i - Entry originated in IGP. Entry was advertised by the network route configuration command.

  • e - Entry originated in EGP.

  • ? - Entry origin is not clear. Reachability information learned from some other source (usually indicates route is redistributed from IGP into BGP).

  • > - Entry identifies the best route for that network.

Origin

Identifies the origin of the entry as one of the following: IGP, EGP, Not clear, Best.

Route Age

Specifies the time in hours:minutes:seconds that a route has been valid.

BGP path selection criteria

Displays tie-breaking criterion for best path selection.

Second best

Displays second best path information.
