Commands to switch between displays may be abbreviated to the minimum unambiguous prefix; for example, .Cm s s for .Cm show summary . .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl n Show neighbors' IP addresses instead of their description. .It Fl o Ar directory Use .Ar directory to write the filter files to in irrfilter mode. .It Fl s Ar socket Use .Ar socket instead of the default .Pa /var/run/bgpd.sock to communicate with .Xr bgpd 8 . .El .Pp The commands are as follows: .Bl -tag -width xxxxxx .It Cm fib couple Insert the learned routes into the Forwarding Information Base a.k.a. the kernel routing table. .It Cm fib decouple Remove the learned routes from the Forwarding Information Base a.k.a. the kernel routing table. .It Xo .Cm irrfilter .Ar as .Op Ar options .Xc Get the .Em aut-num object from the .Em Internet Routing Registry and generate bgpd filters from the policy specified therein. The aut-num object as well as the associated as-set and route objects have to be in RPSL format. .It Cm neighbor Ar peer Cm up Take the BGP session to the specified neighbor up. .Ar peer may be the neighbor's address or description. .It Cm neighbor Ar peer Cm down Take the BGP session to the specified neighbor down. .Ar peer may be the neighbor's address or description. .It Cm neighbor Ar peer Cm clear Stop and restart the BGP session to the specified neighbor. .Ar peer may be the neighbor's address or description. .It Cm neighbor Ar peer Cm refresh Request the neighbor to re-send all routes. Note that the neighbor is not obliged to re-send all routes, or any routes at all, even if it announced the route refresh capability. .Ar peer may be the neighbor's address or description. .It Cm network add Ar prefix Add the specified prefix to the list of announced networks. .It Cm network delete Ar prefix Remove the specified prefix from the list of announced networks. .It Cm network flush Remove all dynamically added prefixes from the list of announced networks. .It Cm network show Ar family Show all announced networks. .Ar family , if given, limits the output to the given address family. The supported families are .Em inet and .Em inet6 . .It Cm reload Reload the configuration file. .It Cm show fib Ar filter Show routes from .Xr bgpd 8 Ns 's view of the Forwarding Information Base. .Ar filter can be an IP address, in which case the route to this address is shown, or a flag: .Pp .Bl -tag -width connected -compact .It Cm connected Show only connected routes. .It Cm static Show only static routes. .It Cm bgp Show only routes originating from .Xr bgpd 8 itself. .It Cm nexthop Show only routes required to reach a BGP nexthop. .El .It Cm show interfaces Show the interface states. .It Cm show neighbor Ar peer modifier Show detailed information about the neighbor identified by .Ar peer , which may be the neighbor's address or description, according to the given .Ar modifier : .Pp .Bl -tag -width messages -compact .It Cm messages Show statistics about sent and received BGP messages. .It Cm terse Show statistics in an easily parseable terse format. The printed numbers are the sent and received open, sent and received notifications, sent and received updates, sent and received keepalives, and sent and received route refresh messages plus the current and maximum prefix count, the number of sent and received updates, and withdraws. .It Cm timers Show the BGP timers. .El .It Cm show nexthop Show the list of BGP nexthops and the result of their validity check. .It Xo .Cm show rib .Op Ar options .Ar filter .Xc Show routes from the .Xr bgpd 8 Routing Information Base. .Ar filter can be an IP address, a CIDR prefix, an AS filter or nothing: .Pp .Bl -tag -width "address/len all" -compact .It Ar address Show best matching route for address. .It Ar address Ns Li / Ns Ar len Show RIB entry for this CIDR prefix. .It Xo .Ar address Ns Li / Ns Ar len .Cm all .Xc Show all entries in the specified range. .\".It Ar address/len Cm longer-prefixes .It Cm as Ar as Show all entries with .Ar as anywhere in the AS path. .It Cm source-as Ar as Show all entries with .Ar as as rightmost AS. .It Cm transit-as Ar as Show all entries with .Ar as anywhere but rightmost. .It Cm peer-as Ar as Show all entries with .Ar as as leftmost AS. .It Cm empty-as Show all entries that are internal routes with no AS's in the AS path. .It Cm community Ar community Show all entries with community .Ar community . .It Cm neighbor Ar peer Show only entries from the specified peer. .It Cm summary This is the same as the .Ic show summary command. .It Cm memory Show RIB memory statistics. .El .Pp Additionally, the following .Ar options are defined: .Pp .Bl -tag -width "detail" -compact .It Cm detail Show more detailed output for matched routes. .It Ar family Limit the output to the given address family. .It Cm in Show routes from the unfiltered Adj-RIB-In. This is only possible if .Em softreconfig in is enabled for the neighbor. .It Cm out Show the filtered routes sent to a neighbor also known as Adj-RIB-Out. .El .Pp Options are silently ignored when used together with .Ar summary or .Ar memory . Multiple options can be used at the same time and the .Ar neighbor filter can be combined with other filters. .It Cm show summary Show a list of all neighbors, including information about the session state and message counters. .It Cm show summary terse Show a list of all neighbors, including information about the session state, in a terse format. .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width "/var/run/bgpd.sockXXX" -compact .It Pa /etc/bgpd.conf default .Xr bgpd 8 configuration file .It Pa /var/run/bgpd.sock default .Xr bgpd 8 control socket .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr bgpd.conf 5 , .Xr bgpd 8 , .Xr bgplg 8 , .Xr bgplgsh 8 .Rs .%R RFC 2622 .%T "Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL)" .%D June 1999 .Re .Sh HISTORY The .Nm program first appeared in .Ox 3.5 . irrfilter mode was added in .Ox 4.1 .
