Output Fields

Table 13 describes the output fields for the show bgp summary command. Output fields are listed in the approximate order in which they appear.

Table 13: show bgp summary Output Fields

Field Name

Field Description

Groups

Number of BGP groups.

Peers

Number of BGP peers.

Down peers

Number of down BGP peers.

Table

Name of routing table.

Tot Paths

Total number of paths.

Act Paths

Number of active routes.

Suppressed

Number of routes currently inactive because of damping or other reasons. These routes do not appear in the forwarding table and are not exported by routing protocols.

History

Number of withdrawn routes stored locally to keep track of damping history.

Damp State

Number of routes with a figure of merit greater than zero, but still active because the value has not reached the threshold at which suppression occurs.

Pending

Routes in process by BGP import policy.

Peer

Address of each BGP peer. Each peer has one line of output.

AS

Peer's AS number.

InPkt

Number of packets received from the peer.

OutPkt

Number of packets sent to the peer.

OutQ

Count of the number of BGP packets that are queued to be transmitted to a particular neighbor. It normally is 0 because the queue usually is emptied quickly.

Flaps

Number of times the BGP session has gone down and then come back up.

Last Up/Down

Last time since the neighbor transitioned to or from the established state.

State|#Active
/Received/Accepted/Damped

Multipurpose field that displays information about BGP peer sessions. The field's contents depend upon whether a session is established and whether an established session was established in the main router or in a routing instance.

  • If a peer is not established, the field shows the state of the peer session: Active, Connect, or Idle.
  • If a BGP session is established in the main router, the field shows the number of active, received, accepted, and damped routes that are received from a neighbor and appear in the inet.0 (main) and inet.2 (multicast) routing tables. For example, 8/10/10/2 2/4/4/0 indicates the following:
    • 8 active routes, 10 received routes, 10 accepted routes, and 2 damped routes from a BGP peer appear in the inet.0 routing table.
    • 2 active routes, 4 received routes, 4 accepted routes, and no damped routes from a BGP peer appear in the inet.2 routing table.
  • If a BGP session is established in a routing instance, the field indicates the established (Establ) state, identifies the specific routing table that receives BGP updates, and shows the number of active, received, and damped routes that are received from a neighbor. For example, Establ VPN-AB.inet.0: 2/4/0 indicates the following:
    • The BGP session is established.
    • Routes are received in the VPN-AB.inet.0 routing table.
    • The local router has two active routes, four received routes, and no damped routes from a BGP peer.

    When a BGP session is established, the peers are exchanging update messages.
