Table 116: show bgp summary Output Fields (continued)
Field DescriptionField Name
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 on 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.
In general, the Idle state is the first stage of a connection. BGP is waiting for a Start event. A session
can be idle for other reasons as well. The reason that a session is idle is sometimes displayed. For
example: Idle (Removal in progress) or Idle (LicenseFailure).
• If a BGP session is established on 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.
• If a BGP session is established in a routing instance, the field indicates the established (Establ)
state, identifies the specific routing table that receives BGP updates, and shows the number of
active, received, and damped routes that are received from a neighbor. For example, Establ
VPN-AB.inet.0: 2/4/0 indicates the following:
• The BGP session is established.
• Routes are received in the VPN-AB.inet.0 routing table.
• The local routing device has two active routes, four received routes, and no damped routes from
a BGP peer.
When a BGP session is established, the peers are exchanging update messages.
NOTE: When graceful restart or LLGR helper mode is active, the RIB information is now displayed by
the show bgp summary command. If a BGP session is established on 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.
