Monitoring BGP Next Hops for VPLS

Purpose

Display information about BGP next hops in the L2VPN address family or in the VPLS address family.

Action

To display next hop information that matches the specified indirect next-hop address (2.2.2.2) in the L2VPN address family:

host1#show ip bgp l2vpn all next-hops 2.2.2.2

Indirect next-hop 2.2.2.2

  Resolution in IP route table of VR 

       IP indirect next-hop index 2

       Reachable (metric 3)

       Number of direct next-hops is 1

              Direct next-hop ATM2/0.10 (10.10.10.2)

  Resolution in IP tunnel-route table of VR 

       MPLS indirect next-hop index 19

       Reachable (metric 3)

       Number of direct next-hops is 1

              Direct next-hop 0000000c

  Reference count is 2

Meaning

Table 66 lists the show ip bgp next-hops command output fields.

Table 66: show ip bgp next-hops Output Fields 

Field Name	Field Description
Indirect next-hop	BGP next-hop attribute received in the BGP update message
Resolution	Describes where the indirect next hop is resolved (the IP routing table, the IP tunnel routing table, or both) and whether this is in a VR or VRF
IP indirect next-hop index	Index number of the IP indirect next hop that corresponds to the BGP indirect next hop and its resolution
MPLS indirect next-hop index	Index number of the MPLS indirect next hop that corresponds to the BGP indirect next hop and its resolution
Reachable	Indicates whether or not the indirect next hop is reachable. For more information about the reachability rules that apply for various route types, see the command description for show ip bgp next-hops.
metric	Metric number of the BGP indirect next hop
Number of direct next-hops	Number of the equal-cost legs of direct next hops to which this indirect next hop resolves
Direct next-hop	MPLS next-hop index that resolves the MPLS indirect next hop
Reference count	Number of label mappings of BGP routes that use this next hop
