Displaying BGP4 information

8

This display shows the following information.

TABLE 46

BGP4 route-attribute entries information

This field...

Displays...

Total number of BGP4 Attribute Entries

The number of routes contained in this BGP4 route table.

Next Hop

The IP address of the next-hop device for routes that have this set of
attributes.

Metric

The cost of the routes that have this set of attributes.

Origin

The source of the route information. The origin can be one of the
following:

EGP – The routes with these attributes came to BGP4 through EGP.

IGP – The routes with these attributes came to BGP4 through IGP.

INCOMPLETE – The routes came from an origin other than one of
the above. For example, they may have been redistributed from
OSPF.

When BGP4 compares multiple routes to a destination to select the best
route, IGP is preferred over EGP and both are preferred over
INCOMPLETE.

Aggregator

Aggregator information:

AS Number shows the AS in which the network information in the
attribute set was aggregated. This value applies only to aggregated
routes and is otherwise 0.

Router-ID shows the device that originated this aggregator.

Atomic

Whether the network information in this set of attributes has been
aggregated and this aggregation has resulted in information loss.

TRUE – Indicates information loss has occurred

FALSE – Indicates no information loss has occurred

NOTE: Information loss under these circumstances is a normal part of

BGP4 and does not indicate an error.

Local Pref

The degree of preference for routes that use these attributes relative to
other routes in the local AS.

Communities

The communities to which routes with these attributes belong.

AS Path

The ASs through which routes with these attributes have passed. The
local AS is shown in parentheses.
