Table 1. BGP VPNv4 route information

This field...

Displays...

Prefix

The network address and prefix.

Age

The last time an update occurred.

Learned from Peer

The IP address of the neighbor that sent this route.

Local_Pref

The degree of preference for this route relative to other routes in the local AS. When the BGP4 algorithm compares routes on the basis of local preferences, the route with the higher local preference is chosen. The preference can have a value from 0 - 4294967295.

MED

The route‘s metric. When the route does not have a metric, this field is blank.

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.

Atomic

Whether network information in this route has been aggregated and this aggregation has resulted in information loss.

Note: Information loss under these circumstances is a normal part of BGP4 and does not indicate an error.

Aggregation ID

The router that originated this aggregator.

Aggregation AS

The AS in which the network information was aggregated. This value applies only to aggregated routes and is otherwise 0.

Originator

The originator of the route in a route reflector environment.

Cluster List

The route-reflector clusters through which this route has passed.

Learned From

The IP address of the neighbor from which the Extreme device learned the route.

Admin Distance

The administrative distance of the route.

Adj_RIB_out

The number of neighbors to which the route has been or is advertised. This is the number of times the route has been selected as the best route and placed in the Adj-RIB-Out (outbound queue) for a BGP4 neighbor.

Communities

The communities the route is in.

Extended Community

The device‘s extended community attributes.
