State
The state of this neighbor session with each neighbor. The states are from this
perspective of the session, not the neighbor’s perspective. The state values can be
one of the following for each:
• IDLE - The BGP4+ process is waiting to be started. Usually, enabling BGP4+ or
establishing a neighbor session starts the BGP4+ process.
‐
A minus sign (-) indicates that the session has gone down and the
software is clearing or removing routes.
• ADMND - The neighbor has been administratively shut down.
‐
A minus sign (-) indicates that the session has gone down and the
software is clearing or removing routes.
• CONNECT - BGP4+ is waiting for the connection process for the TCP neighbor
session to be completed.
• ACTIVE - BGP4+ is waiting for a TCP connection from the neighbor.
NOTE
If the state frequently changes between CONNECT and ACTIVE, there may be a
problem with the TCP connection.
• OPEN SENT - BGP4+ is waiting for an Open message from the neighbor.
• OPEN CONFIRM - BGP4+ has received an OPEN message from the neighbor and
is now waiting for either a KEEPALIVE or NOTIFICATION message. If the receives
a KEEPALIVE message from the neighbor, the state changes to Established. If the
message is a NOTIFICATION, the state changes to Idle.
• ESTABLISHED - BGP4+ is ready to exchange UPDATE packets with the neighbor.
‐
If there is more BGP data in the TCP receiver queue, a plus sign (+) is
also displayed.
NOTE
If you display information for the neighbor using the show ipv6 bgp neighbor
Time
The time that has passed since the state last changed.
Accepted
The number of routes received from the neighbor that this installed in the BGP4+
route table. Usually, this number is lower than the RoutesRcvd number. The difference
indicates that this filtered out some of the routes received in the UPDATE messages.
Filtered
The routes or prefixes that have been filtered out.
• If soft reconfiguration is enabled, this field shows how many routes were filtered out
(not placed in the BGP4+ route table) but retained in memory.
• If soft reconfiguration is not enabled, this field shows the number of BGP4+ routes
that have been filtered out.
Sent
The number of BGP4+ routes that the has sent to the neighbor.
