Group Type or Group

Type of BGP group: Internal or External.

group-index

Index number for the BGP peer group. The index number differentiates between groups when a single BGP group is split because of different configuration options at the group and peer levels.

AS

AS number of the peer. For internal BGP (IBGP), this number is the same as Local AS.

Local AS

AS number of the local routing device.

Name

Name of a specific BGP group.

Options

The Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) format used for BGP VPN multicast.

Index

Unique index number of a BGP group.

Flags

Flags associated with the BGP group. This field is used by Juniper Networks customer support.

BGP-Static Advertisement Policy

Policies configured for the BGP group with the advertise-bgp-static policy statement.

Remove-private options

Options associated with the remove-private statement.

Holdtime

Maximum number of seconds allowed to elapse between successive keepalive or update messages that BGP receives from a peer in the BGP group, after which the connection to the peer is closed and routing devices through that peer become unavailable.

Export

Export policies configured for the BGP group with the export statement.

Optimal Route Reflection

Client nodes (primary and backup) configured in the BGP group.

MED tracks IGP metric update delay

Time, in seconds, that updates to multiple exit discriminator (MED) are delayed. Also displays the time remaining before the interval is set to expire

Traffic Statistics Interval

Time between sample periods for labeled-unicast traffic statistics, in seconds.

Total peers

Total number of peers in the group.

Established

Number of peers in the group that are in the established 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 it was established in the main routing device 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 routing device, 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 and 2/4/4/0 indicate 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.

ip-addresses

List of peers who are members of the group. The address is followed by the peer’s port number.

Allowed Unconfigured Peer Addresses

Configured peer-limit and the current peer-limit for a dynamic neighbor.

Route Queue Timer

Number of seconds until queued routes are sent. If this time has already elapsed, this field displays the number of seconds by which the updates are delayed.

Route Queue

Number of prefixes that are queued up for sending to the peers in the group.

inet.number

Number of active, received, accepted, and damped routes in the routing table. For example, inet.0: 7/10/9/0 indicates the following:

• 7 active routes, 10 received routes, 9 accepted routes, and no damped routes from a BGP peer appear in the inet.0 routing table.

Table inet.number

Information about the routing table.

• Received prefixes—Total number of prefixes from the peer, both active and inactive, that are in the routing table.

• Active prefixes—Number of prefixes received from the peer that are active in the routing table.

• Suppressed due to damping—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.

• Advertised prefixes—Number of prefixes advertised to a peer.

• Received external prefixes—Total number of prefixes from the external BGP (EBGP) peers, both active and inactive, that are in the routing table.

• Active external prefixes—Number of prefixes received from the EBGP peers that are active in the routing table.

• Externals suppressed—Number of routes received from EBGP peers currently inactive because of damping or other reasons.

• Received internal prefixes—Total number of prefixes from the IBGP peers, both active and inactive, that are in the routing table.

• Active internal prefixes—Number of prefixes received from the IBGP peers that are active in the routing table.

• Internals suppressed—Number of routes received from IBGP peers currently inactive because of damping or other reasons.

• RIB State—Status of the graceful restart process for this routing table: BGP restart is complete, BGP restart in progress, VPN restart in progress, or VPN restart is complete.

Groups

Total number of groups.

Peers

Total number of peers.

External

Total number of external peers.

Internal

Total number of internal peers.

Down peers

Total number of unavailable peers.

Flaps

Total number of flaps that occurred.

Table

Name of a routing table.

Tot Paths

Total number of routes.

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 active routes with a figure of merit greater than zero, but lower than the threshold at which suppression occurs.

Pending

Routes being processed by the BGP import policy.

Group

Group the peer belongs to in the BGP configuration.

Receive mask

Mask of the received target included in the advertised route.

Entries

Number of route entries received.

Target

Route target that is to be passed by route-target filtering. If a route advertised from the provider edge (PE) routing device matches an entry in the route-target filter, the route is passed to the peer.

Mask

Mask which specifies that the peer receive routes with the given route target.
