routing-table-name

Name of the routing table—for example, inet.0.

All levels

number routes

Number of routes in the routing table and total number of routes in the following states:

• active
• holddown (routes that are in a pending state before being declared inactive)
• hidden (the routes are not used because of a routing policy)

All levels

[protocol, preference]

Protocol from which the route was learned and the preference value for the route.

• +—A plus sign indicates the active route, which is the route installed from the routing table into the forwarding table.
• - —A hyphen indicates the last active route.
• *—An asterisk indicates that the route is both the active and the last active route. An asterisk before a to line indicates the best subpath to the route.

In every routing metric except for the BGP LocalPref attribute, a lesser value is preferred. In order to use common comparison routines, Junos OS stores the 1's complement of the LocalPref value in the Preference2 field. For example, if the LocalPref value for Route 1 is 100, the Preference2 value is -101. If the LocalPref value for Route 2 is 155, the Preference2 value is -156. Route 2 is preferred because it has a higher LocalPref value and a lower Preference2 value.

All levels

Source

IP address of the route source.

via

Interface used to reach the next hop. If there is more than one interface available to the next hop, the interface that is actually used is followed by the word Selected.

detail extensive

Indirect next hop

Index designation used to specify the mapping between protocol next hops, tags, kernel export policy, and the forwarding next hops.

detail extensive

Local AS

AS number of the local routing device.

detail extensive

Age

How long the route has been known.

detail extensive

Task

Name of the protocol that has added the route.

detail extensive

AS path

AS path through which the route was learned. The letters at the end of the AS path indicate the path origin, providing an indication of the state of the route at the point at which the AS path originated:

• I—IGP.
• E—EGP.
• ?—Incomplete; typically, the AS path was aggregated.

When AS path numbers are included in the route, the format is as follows:

• [ ]—Brackets enclose the local AS number associated with the AS path if more than one AS number is configured on the routing device or if AS path prepending is configured.
• { }—Braces enclose AS sets, which are groups of AS numbers in which the order does not matter. A set commonly results from route aggregation. The numbers in each AS set are displayed in ascending order.
• ( )—Parentheses enclose a confederation.
• ( [ ] )—Parentheses and brackets enclose a confederation set.

Note: In Junos OS Release 10.3 and later, the AS path field displays an unrecognized attribute and associated hexadecimal value if BGP receives attribute 128 (attribute set) and you have not configured an independent domain in any routing instance.

brief none

Localpref

Local preference value included in the route.

All levels

Merit (last update/now)

Last updated and current figure-of-merit value.

detail extensive

Last update

Time of most recent change in path attributes.

detail extensive

Flaps

Number of times the route has gone up or down or its path attributes have changed.

detail extensive

Reusable in

(suppressed keyword only) Time when a suppressed route will again be available.
