Displaying BGP4 Route-Attribute Entries
The route-attribute entries table lists the sets of BGP4 attributes stored in the router’s memory. Each set of
attributes is unique and can be associated with one or more routes. In fact, the router typically has fewer route
attribute entries than routes. To display the route-attribute entries table, use one of the following methods.
To display the IP route table, enter the following command:
FESX424 Router# show ip bgp attribute-entries
Syntax: show ip bgp attribute-entries
Here is an example of the information displayed by this command. A zero value indicates that the attribute is not
set.
This display shows the following information.
Table 21.12: BGP4 Route-Attribute Entries Information
This Field... Displays...
Total number of BGP Attribute Entries The number of routes contained in this router’s BGP4 route table.
Next Hop The IP address of the next hop router for routes that have this set of
attributes.
Metric The cost of the routes that have this set of attributes.
Origin The source of the route information. The origin can be one of the
following:
• EGP – The routes with this set of attributes came to BGP through
EGP.
• IGP – The routes with this set of attributes came to BGP through
IGP.
• INCOMPLETE – The routes came from an origin other than one
of the above. For example, they may have been redistributed
from OSPF or RIP.
When BGP4 compares multiple routes to a destination to select the
best route, IGP is preferred over EGP and both are preferred over
INCOMPLETE.
Originator The originator of the route in a route reflector environment.
