Displaying BGP4 information 30 TABLE 191 BGP4 route-attribute entries information Field Description Total number of BGP Attribute Entries Next Hop Metric Origin Originator Cluster List Aggregator Atomic Local Pref Communities AS Path The number of routes contained in this router BGP4 route table. The IP address of the next hop router for routes that have this set of attributes. The cost of the routes that have this set of attributes. 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. The originator of the route in a route reflector environment. The route-reflector clusters through which this set of attributes has passed. 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. 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. The degree of preference for routes that use this set of attributes relative to other routes in the local AS. The communities that routes with this set of attributes are in. The autonomous systems through which routes with this set of attributes have passed. The local AS is shown in parentheses. 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. PowerConnect#show ip route Syntax: show ip route [ | | 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. PowerConnect B-Series FCX Configuration Guide 53-1002266-01 1087
