Displaying BGP4 information

Table 71

lists the field definitions for the command output.

Displaying the routes BGP4 has placed in the
IP route table

The IP route table indicates the routes it has received from BGP4 by listing “BGP” as the route type.

To display the IP route table, enter the following command.

Brocade#show ip route

Syntax: show ip route [ip-addr | num | bgp | ospf | rip]

Here is an example of the information displayed by this command. Notice that most of the routes in
this example have type “B”, indicating that their source is BGP4.

TABLE 71

BGP4 route-attribute entries information

Field

Description

Total number of BGP Attribute
Entries

The number of routes contained in this router BGP4 route table.

Next Hop

The IP address of the next hop router 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 this set of attributes came to BGP through EGP.

IGP – The routes with this set of attributes came to BGP through IGP.

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

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

Originator

The originator of the route in a route reflector environment.

Cluster List

The route-reflector clusters through which this set of attributes has passed.

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 router 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 this set of attributes relative to
other routes in the local AS.

Communities

The communities that routes with this set of attributes are in.

AS Path

The autonomous systems through which routes with this set of attributes have
passed. The local AS is shown in parentheses.
