BGP paths indicated in the show ip bgp command
When implementing the BGP routing protocol, when the show ip bgp command is applied to a particular prefix, the output is similar to the following:
R1#show ip bgp 4.4.4.4 BGP routing table entry for 4.4.4.4/32, version 2 Paths: (2 available, best #2, table Default-IP-Routing-Table) Advertised to update-groups: 1 3 4 192.168.13.3 from 192.168.13.3 (192.168.34.3) Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external 2 4 192.168.12.2 from 192.168.12.2 (192.168.24.2) Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external, best
In the output, you see the term "Paths:". Here the number of available paths and the number of installed best paths will be indicated. The "Default-IP-Routing-Table" appears when the best path is installed in the IP routing table.
