  2. Click a Gateway name to view the corresponding event details.

    The Related State Change Events section displays the change in the state and other details for the selected Gateway.

Note: BGP Gateway Neighbor State (API: monitoring/getEnterpriseBgpPeerStatus): At the time of calling the API, if the Gateway state is one out of "QUIESCED", "OUT_OF_SERVICE" or "OFFLINE", then the user interface displays the Neighbor state as "Unavailable" with appropriate tooltip showing the current Gateway state to the user.

BGP Received Routes and BGP Advertised Routes

For the 5.2 release, the BGP Gateway Neighbor State feature is enhanced with the BGP Received Routes and BGP Advertised Routes.

The BGP Received Routes displays routes (up to 16K) that have been received from the selected BGP neighbor at the Gateway, providing valuable insight into the routing information that is available in the network. This information can be used to troubleshoot connectivity issues in Customer deployments. The BGP Advertised Routes displays all routes that are being advertised to a selected BGP neighbor, providing visibility into the routes that are being used to reach destinations in the network (as shown in the image above the previous paragraphs).

See the table below for a detailed description of the fields in the BGP Received and Advertise Routes table.
