About the Routing Status Tab
To access this tab, navigate to Observability > Routing > Route Explorer > Routing Status.
Use this tab to view details of all routing prefixes in the routing information base (RIB) and BGP speakers in the network. You can view this information only when BGP state and RIB monitoring is enabled when you create a device profile. For more information, see Add a Device Profile. The Routing Status tab consists of the Routing Status > Prefixes and Routing Status > Devices tabs.
About the Prefixes Tab
To access this tab, click Observability > Routing > Route Explorer > Routing Status > Prefixes.
You can view details of all routing prefixes in the RIB, and the corresponding BGP speakers in the network on this tab.
See Tasks You Can Perform for more information about the tasks that you can perform from this tab.

Tasks You Can Perform
This section provides information on the tasks that you can perform from the Routing Status > Prefixes and Routing Status > Devices tabs.
- Common tasks
- Tasks you can perform from the Routing Status > Prefixes table
- Tasks you can perform from the Routing Status > Devices table
Common tasks
In the time series graph above the Routing Status table, you can view a graphical representation of the total count of all IPv4 or IPv6 routes of all RIB-monitored devices in the network. You can also:
-
Select the option buttons provided in the top-center of the graph to switch between IPv4 (default) and IPv6 prefixes.
-
Click the Linear or Log buttons in the top-right corner of the graph to switch between a linear or log graphical view.
-
View this information for a predefined (2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h) or a custom time period.
-
Hover over any point on the graph to view the state of the prefix at that point.
Tasks you can perform from the Routing Status > Prefixes table
From the Prefixes table, you can:
-
View details of all prefixes available.
-
Sort, resize, or re-arrange columns in a table (grid).
-
Show or hide columns in the table or reset page preferences, using the vertical ellipsis menu.
-
Filter the data displayed in the table—Click the filter icon (funnel) and select whether you want to show or hide advanced filters. You can then add or remove filter criteria, save criteria as a filter, apply or clear filters, and so on. The filtered results are displayed on the same page.
You can filter by prefix length, prefix address, and AF type data.
-
Click Download to download all device routing information as a CSV file.
-
Click the prefix hyperlink to view a graph of the events (such as routes added and routes deleted) related to that prefix for the past 12 hours, on the Routing Updates tab.
The Routing Updates table is updated with details of the prefix that you selected.
Tasks you can perform from the Routing Status > Devices table
From the Devices table, you can:
-
View details and BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP) status of all devices available.
-
Sort, resize, or re-arrange columns in a table (grid).
-
Show or hide columns in the table or reset page preferences, using the vertical ellipsis menu.
-
