TABLE 98 show ip bgp route output descriptions (continued)
This eld Displays
Weight The value that this device associates with routes from a specic neighbor.
For example, if the device receives routes to the same destination from
two BGP4 neighbors, the device prefers the route from the neighbor with
the larger weight.
Path The route AS path.
NOTE
This eld appears only if you do not enter the route
option.
Origin code A character that indicates the route origin. The origin code appears to the
right of the AS path (Path eld). The origin codes are described in the
command output.
NOTE
This eld appears only if you do not enter the route
option.
Status The route status, which can be one or more of the following:
• A - AGGREGATE.The route is an aggregate route for multiple
networks.
• B - BEST. BGP4 has determined that this is the optimal route
to the destination.
NOTE
If the "b" is lowercase, the software was not able to install the
route in the IP route table.
• b - NOT-INSTALLED-BEST. The routes received from the
neighbor are the best BGP4 routes to their destinations, but
were not installed in the IP route table because the device
received better routes from other sources (such as OSPF, RIP,
or static IP routes).
• C - CONFED_EBGP. The route was learned from a neighbor in
the same confederation and AS, but in a dierent sub-AS within
the confederation.
• D - DAMPED. This route has been dampened (by the route
dampening feature), and is currently unusable.
• H - HISTORY. Route dampening is congured for this route,
and the route has a history of apping and is unreachable now.
• I - INTERNAL. The route was learned through BGP4.
• L - LOCAL. The route originated on this device.
• M - MULTIPATH. BGP4 load sharing is enabled and this route
was selected as one of the best ones to the destination. The
best route among the multiple paths also is marked with "B".
NOTE
If the "m" is lowercase, the software was not able to install the
route in the IP route table.
• S - SUPPRESSED. This route was suppressed during
aggregation and thus is not advertised to neighbors.
NOTE
This eld appears only if you enter the route
option.
