Displaying route flap dampening statistics

To display route dampening statistics for all dampened routes, enter the following command at any
level of the CLI.

Syntax: show ipv6 bgp flap-statistics [ipv6-prefix/prefix-length [longer-prefixes] | as-path-filter

number | neighbor ipv6-address | regular-expression regular-expression]

The ipv6-prefix/prefix-length parameter displays statistics for the specified IPv6 prefix only. You
must specify the ipv6-prefix parameter in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as
documented in RFC 2373. You must specify the prefix-length parameter as a decimal value. A slash
mark (/) must follow the ipv6-prefix parameter and precede the prefix-length parameter.

The longer-prefixes keyword allows you to display statistics for routes that match a specified or
longer IPv6 prefix. For example, if you specify 2001:db8:2000::/16 longer-prefixes, then all routes
with the prefix 2001:db8:2002:: or that have a longer prefix (such as 2001:db8:2002:e016::/32)
are displayed.

The as-path-filter number parameter specifies an AS path filter to display. Specify a filter number.

The neighbor ipv6-address parameter displays statistics for routes learned from the specified
neighbor only. You also can display route flap statistics for routes learned from a neighbor by
entering the following command: show ipv6 bgp neighbor ipv6-address flap-statistics.

The regular-expression regular-expression parameter is a regular expression. The regular
expressions are the same ones supported for BGP4 AS-path filters. For more information about
regular expressions, see

“Configuring BGP4+”

on page 310.

You can also display route flap dampening statistics for a specified IPv6 neighbor. For more
information, refer to

“Displaying route flap dampening statistics for a BGP4+ neighbor”

on

page 345.

This display shows the following information.

TABLE 8

Route flap dampening statistics

This field...

Displays...

Total number of flapping routes

The total number of routes in the Virtual ADX device’s BGP4+ route table that
have changed state and thus have been marked as flapping routes.

Status code

Indicates the dampening status of the route, which can be one of the following:

> – This is the best route among those in the BGP4+ route table to the
route’s destination.

d – This route is currently dampened, and thus unusable.

h – The route has a history of flapping and is unreachable now.

* – The route has a history of flapping but is currently usable.

Network

The destination network of the route.

From

The IPv6 address of the advertising peer.
