Displaying BGP4+ route information
You can display all BGP4+ routes known by a switch, only those routes that match a specified
prefix, or routes that match a specified or longer prefix.
To display all BGP4+ routes known by the switch, enter the following command at any level of the
CLI.
Syntax: show ipv6 bgp <ipv6-prefix>/<prefix-length> [longer-prefixes]
The <ipv6-prefix>/<prefix-length> parameter allows you to display routes that match a specified
BGP prefix only. You must specify the <ipv6-prefix> parameter in hexadecimal using 16-bit values
between colons as documented in RFC 2373. You must specify the <prefix-length> parameter as a
decimal value. A slash mark (/) must follow the <ipv6-prefix> parameter and precede the
<prefix-length> parameter.
The longer-prefixes keyword allows you to display routes that match a specified or longer BGP
prefix. For example, if you specify 2002::/16 longer-prefixes, then all routes with the prefix
2002::/16 or that have a longer prefix (such as 2002:e016::/32) are displayed.
To display only those routes that match prefix 2002::/16, enter the following command at any level
of the CLI.
For example, to display routes that match prefix 2002::/16 or longer, enter the following command
at any level of the CLI.
These displays show the following information:
