Yes, I believe the command is "show ip bgp rib-failure". This shows routes that are in the BGP table, theoretically eligible to be used as actual traffic-forwarding routes, but are failing to be inserted into the Routing Information Base (RIB) for one reason or another. I don't have a lab router handy to lab it up, and of course on my normal production router it comes up empty (lists column headers, but no routes) because I don't have any edge cases on there right now. But I think this is what you want. -- Jeff Saxe Network Engineer, Blue Ridge InternetWorks Charlottesville, VA ________________________________________ From: Heath Jones [hj1980@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2010 5:49 AM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: BGP next-hop Hi all, Is there an easy way to see which iBGP routes are not being selected due to next-hop not being in IGP?

Cheers Heath ps. I've posted this to cisco-nsp also (a day ago) - so apologies in advance if you are on both and seeing it twice.
