What is the Purpose of This Test

Run this test to list the IPv6 prefixes accepted by the Edge from the BGP neighbor after applying the BGP neighbor inbound filters configured in the Orchestrator.

When Can You Run This Test

Following are the scenarios when you can run this test:
  • To check and confirm if the Edge has accepted BGP routes learned from a neighbor.
  • If a specific route is not present in the Show BGPv6 Neighbor Learned Routes table, then we must verify the BGPv6 neighbor inbound filter in the Orchestrator and run the diagnostic command Show BGPv6 Neighbor Received Routes to list all the BGP routes advertised by the BGP Neighbor before applying the BGP inbound filters.

For instructions, see Run Remote Diagnostic Tests on Edges.

What to Check in the Test Output

Run the Show BGPv6 Neighbor Learned Routes test on the required Edge. Following is an example of the test output:
Verify the following in the output:
  • The prefix learned and accepted by the Edge from its BGP neighbor must be present.
  • A valid BGP route is marked with the sign "*" and the best route is marked with the sign ">".
  • The prefix accepted by the Edge must hold the correct next-hop IP address, Metric, Local preference, Weight, and AS-path.
  • The output must display the total number of prefixes received and accepted by the Edge after applying the inbound filters.
