show ip bgp flap-statistics


Displays information about flapping BGP routes.

Syntax: show ip bgp flap-statistics [filter-list filter-list-name | regexp regexp]

filter-list-name

Name of a defined as-path access list.

regexp

Autonomous system in the access list that uses a regular expression.

Description: Use the show ip bgp flap-statistics command to display information about all currently flapping routes.

Use the filter-list-name keyword and filter-list-name argument to display flapping routes permitted by the specified as-path filter list.

Use the regexp keyword and regexp argument to display flapping routes permitted by the specified regular expression.

Factory Default: None.

Command Mode: Executive and privileged.

Example 1: The following is sample output from the show ip bgp flap-statistics command:

router#show ip bgp flap-statistics

Status codes: * - valid Origin codes: i - IGP d - damped e - EGP h - history ? - incomplete s - suppressed > - best a - aggregate i - internal Network Next Hop Flaps Duration Reuse *>h 200.1.1.0/24 5.198.4.2 3 0:02:21 1:15:30

Example 2: The following is sample output from the show ip bgp flap-statistics command with the regexp keyword and argument. Only those routes that pass through autonomous system 41 are displayed:

router#show ip bgp flap-statistics regexp _41_

Status codes: * - valid Origin codes: i - IGP d - damped e - EGP h - history ? - incomplete s - suppressed > - best a - aggregate i - internal Network Next Hop Flaps Duration Reuse *>d 200.1.1.0/24 5.198.4.2 3 0:07:10 0:24:30

The following table describes the fields in the display:

Table 4-6. Fields Displayed by show ip bgp flap-statistics 
Field Description

Status codes

Status of the entry in the table. Valid values are:

  • * - Entry is valid.

  • d - Route is currently damped.

  • h - Route has earned some penalty points, but not enough points to exceed threshold. See bgp dampening.

  • s - Route is suppressed. See bgp dampening.

  • a - Entry is an aggregate route. See aggregate-address.

  • i- Entry was learned from an IGP (IS-IS or OSPF) in the local autonomous system.

Origin codes

Identifies the origin of the entry. Valid values are listed below.

  • i - Entry originated in IGP. Entry was advertised by the network route configuration command.

  • e - Entry originated in EGP.

  • ? - Entry origin is not clear. Reachability information learned from some other source (usually indicates route is redistributed from IGP into BGP).

  • > - Entry identifies the best route for that network.

Network

Internet address of a network.

Next Hop

IP address of the next system used when forwarding packets to the destination network. 0.0.0.0 in this field indicates the router has non-BGP routes to the network.

Flaps

Number of times this route has failed and returned (flapped).

Duration

Elapsed time since the first penalty points were assessed.

Reuse

- When the route is damped: Amount of time until the reuse-timer expires.

- When the route has accumulated penalty points, but has not been withdrawn: Amount of time until the accumulated penalties equal 0 and the history flag is removed for this route. See show ip bgp dampened-paths.
