45 Displaying BGP4+ information TABLE 208 BGP4+ summary information (Continued) This field... Displays... State The state of this switch neighbor session with each neighbor. The states are from this switch's perspective of the session, not the neighbor's perspective. The state values can be one of the following for each switch: • IDLE - The BGP4+ process is waiting to be started. Usually, enabling BGP4+ or establishing a neighbor session starts the BGP4+ process. • A minus sign (-) indicates that the session has gone down and the software is clearing or removing routes. • ADMND - The neighbor has been administratively shut down. • A minus sign (-) indicates that the session has gone down and the software is clearing or removing routes. • CONNECT - BGP4+ is waiting for the connection process for the TCP neighbor session to be completed. NOTE: ACTIVE - BGP4+ is waiting for a TCP connection from the neighbor. If the state frequently changes between CONNECT and ACTIVE, there may be a problem with the TCP connection. • OPEN SENT - BGP4+ is waiting for an Open message from the neighbor. • OPEN CONFIRM - BGP4+ has received an OPEN message from the neighbor and is now waiting for either a KEEPALIVE or NOTIFICATION message. If the switch receives a KEEPALIVE message from the neighbor, the state changes to Established. If the message is a NOTIFICATION, the state changes to Idle. • ESTABLISHED - BGP4+ is ready to exchange UPDATE packets with the neighbor. • If there is more BGP data in the TCP receiver queue, a plus sign (+) is also displayed. Time Accepted Filtered Sent ToSend NOTE: If you display information for the neighbor using the show ipv6 bgp neighbor command, the TCP receiver queue value will be greater than 0. The time that has passed since the state last changed. The number of routes received from the neighbor that this switch installed in the BGP4+ route table. Usually, this number is lower than the RoutesRcvd number. The difference indicates that this switch filtered out some of the routes received in the UPDATE messages. The routes or prefixes that have been filtered out. • If soft reconfiguration is enabled, this field shows how many routes were filtered out (not placed in the BGP4+ route table) but retained in memory. • If soft reconfiguration is not enabled, this field shows the number of BGP4+ routes that have been filtered out. The number of BGP4+ routes that the switch has sent to the neighbor. The number of routes the switchhas queued to send to this neighbor. 1186 BigIron RX Series Configuration Guide 53-1002253-01
