Show ip bgp neighbors

To display information about the TCP and BGP connections to neighbors, use the show ip bgp neighbors command in EXEC mode.

show ip bgp neighbors [address] [received-routes | routes | advertised-routes | {paths regular-expression} | dampened-routes]

Syntax Description address (Optional) Address of the neighbor whose routes you have learned from. If you omit this argument, all neighbors are displayed.

received-routes (Optional) Displays all received routes (both accepted and rejected)

from the specified neighbor.

routes (Optional) Displays all routes that are received and accepted. This is a subset of the output from the received-routes keyword.

advertised-routes (Optional) Displays all the routes the router has advertised to the neighbor.

paths (Optional) Regular expression that is used to match the paths received.

regular-expression dampened-routes (Optional) Displays the dampened routes to the neighbor at the IP address specified.

Table 46 describes the fields shown in the display.

Table 46 show ip bgp neighbors Field Descriptions

Field

Description

BGP neighbor

IP address of the BGP neighbor and its autonomous system number. If the neighbor is in the same autonomous system as the router, then the link between them is internal; otherwise, it is considered external.

BGP version

BGP version being used to communicate with the remote router; the neighbor's router ID (an IP address) is also specified.

BGP state

Internal state of this BGP connection.

table version

Indicates that the neighbor has been updated with this version of the primary BGP routing table.

up for

Amount of time that the underlying TCP connection has been in existence.

_BGP Commands |

I show ip bgp neighbors

Table 46 show ip bgp neighbors Field Descriptions (continued)

Field

Description

Last read

Time that BGP last read a message from this neighbor.

hold time

Maximum amount of time that can elapse between messages from the peer.

keepalive interval

Time period between sending keepalive packets, which help ensure that the TCP connection is up.

Received

Number of total BGP messages received from this peer, including keepalives.

notifications

Number of error messages received from the peer.

Sent

Total number of BGP messages that have been sent to this peer, including keepalives.

notifications

Number of error messages the router has sent to this peer.

Connections established

Number of times the router has established a TCP connection and the two peers have agreed speak BGP with each other.

dropped

Number of times that a good connection has failed or been taken down.

Connection state

State of BGP peer.

unread input bytes

Number of bytes of packets still to be processed.

Local host, Local port

Peering address of local router, plus port.

Foreign host, Foreign port

Neighbor's peering address.

Event Timers

Table displays the number of starts and wakeups for each timer.

iss

Initial send sequence number.

snduna

Last send sequence number the local host sent but has not received an acknowledgment for.

sndnxt

Sequence number the local host will send next.

sndwnd

TCP window size of the remote host.

irs

Initial receive sequence number.

rcvnxt

Last receive sequence number the local host has acknowledged.

rcvwnd

Local host's TCP window size.

delrecvwnd

Delayed receive window—data the local host has read from the connection, but has not yet subtracted from the receive window the host has advertised to the remote host. The value in this field gradually increases until it is larger than a full-sized packet, at which point it is applied to the rcvwnd field.

SRTT

A calculated smoothed round-trip timeout.

RTTO

Round-trip timeout.

RTV

Variance of the round-trip time.

KRTT

New round-trip timeout (using the Karn algorithm). This field separately tracks the round-trip time of packets that have been retransmitted.

show ip bgp neighbors H

Table 46 show ip bgp neighbors Field Descriptions (continued)

Field

Description

minRTT

Smallest recorded round-trip timeout (hard wire value used for calculation).

maxRTT

Largest recorded round-trip timeout.

ACK hold

Time the local host will delay an acknowledgment in order to piggyback data on it.

Flags

IP precedence of the BGP packets.

Datagrams: Rcvd

Number of update packets received from neighbor.

with data

Number of update packets received with data.

total data bytes

Total bytes of data.

Sent

Number of update packets sent.

with data

Number of update packets with data sent.

total data bytes

Total number of data bytes.

  • To find the IP address of a Cisco router, use the show ip interface command. This command will display the IP address for all of the interfaces on the router.

        Field

        Description

        Status codes

        s—The table entry is suppressed. *—The table entry is valid.

        >—The table entry is the best entry to use for that network. i—The table entry was learned via an internal BGP session.

        Origin codes

        Indicates the origin of the entry. The origin code is placed at the end of each line in the table. It can be one of the following values:

        i—Entry originated from IGP and was advertised with a network router configuration command.

        e—Entry originated from EGP.

        ?—Origin of the path is not clear Usually, this is a router that is redistributed into BGP from an IGP.

        Network

        IP address of a network entity.

        Next Hop

        IP address of the next system that is used when forwarding a packet to the destination network. An entry of 0.0.0.0 indicates that the router has some non-BGP routes to this network.

        Metric

        If shown, this is the value of the interautonomous system metric. This field is frequently not used.

        LocPrf

        Local preference value as set with the set local-preference route-map configuration command. The default value is 100.

        Weight

        Weight of the route as set via autonomous system filters.

        Path

        Autonomous system paths to the destination network. There can be one entry in this field for each autonomous system in the path.

        The following is sample output from the show ip bgp neighbors command with paths:

        Router# show ip bgp neighbors 172.16.232.178 paths ^10

        Address Refcount Metric Path 0x60E577B0 2 40 10 ?
