04 BGP+Tables

The document explains the three main tables used in BGP: the Neighbor Table, Forwarding Table, and Routing Table. The Neighbor Table contains information about BGP neighbors, the Forwarding Table lists known networks and their attributes, and the Routing Table shows the best paths to destination networks. Commands such as 'show ip bgp summary', 'show ip bgp', and 'show ip route' are used to display information from these tables.

BGP Tables:

Like most routing protocols, BGP also uses three tables:


Neighbor Table:
This contains the list of all configured BGP neighbors. The ‘show ip bgp summary’ command
would show the neighbor table.

BGP router identifier The IP address representing this router


Local AS number The local router’s Autonomous System Number
BGP table version Local BGP table increases when the BGP table changes
Main routing table version Last version of BGP database in the main routing table
Neighbor The IP address, used in the neighbor statement
V (Version) The version of BGP this router is running
AS (Autonomous System) The listed neighbor’s Autonomous System Number
MsgRcvd (Message Received) The number of BGP messages received from neighbor
MsgSent (Message Sent) The number of BGP messages sent to this neighbor
TblVer (Table Version) Last version of the BGP table that was sent to neighbor
InQ (In Queue) In Queue input messages in Queue
OutQ (Out Queue) Out Queue Output messages in Queue
Up/Down Time since BGP session was established
State The current state of the BGP session: active, idle etc
PfxRcd (Prefix Received) Number of BGP network entries received from this neighbor

Forwarding Table:
This table contains a list of networks along their path and attributes which are known by BGP.
The ‘show ip bgp’ command would display the information.

BGP table version Local BGP table increases when the BGP table changes
Local router ID The IP address representing this router
Network Learn network with subnet masks
* This is a valid route and that BGP is able to use it
> This entry has been selected as the best path
Next Hop 0.0.0.0 means that this network originated on this router
R1 learn about this network from 192.168.12.2
Metric BGP attributes that are used to select the best path
LocPrf BGP attributes that are used to select the best path
Weight BGP attributes that are used to select the best path
Path A sequence of Autonomous Systems in the path from Left to Right
Path i Network was advertised using the network command
Path 2 AS path 2
Path ? Redistributed Networks

Routing Table:
This table lists the best path to the destination networks and also the next hop for each
network. Like other protocols, the ‘show ip route’ will show the routing table.

B This route was learned through BGP


22.22.22.0/24 Destination learn network and 24 is subnet mask
20 20 is the Administrative Distance of eBGP protocol
192.168.12.2 Next Hop IP Address where to send the traffic
01:36:07 Time since the route was learnt
