What is the Purpose of This Test

Run this test to list the IPv4 routes advertised by the Edge to the specific BGP peer.

When Can You Run This Test

Following are the scenarios when you can run this test:
  • To check and confirm whether the Edge advertises the IPv4 prefixes to the specific BGP peer.
  • If a prefix is denied by the BGP neighbor outbound filter configuration in the Orchestrator, then the Edge does not advertise the denied prefix to the specific BGP neighbor.

For instructions, see Run Remote Diagnostic Tests on Edges.

What to Check in the Test Output

Run the Show BGP Neighbor Advertised Routes test on the required Edge. Following is an example of the test output:
Verify the following in the output:
  • The Edge must list all the advertised prefixes in the table. If a prefix is missed, verify the BGP neighbor status and the outbound filter configuration in the Orchestrator.
  • A valid route is marked with the sign "*" and the best route is marked with the sign ">".
  • All the prefixes must be tagged respectively with Metric (only for self-originated routes), Local Preference, Weight, Next Hop IP Address, AS-Path, and Route Origin code attributes.
