Show IP BGP Information
Show IP BGP Information
The Show IP BGP will show information about the Network(Routes), but there is a confusion about the "i" notation.
How do I know if the "i" is referring to:
Status Code: "Internal"
OR to:
Origin Code: IGP
Thank you

i - does not mean iBGP - it is one of BGP attributes (origin) and can be manipulated. You can have i for networks that you received from any BGP router as description how network is advertised into BGP.
i - IGP - means that route is advertised into BGP by usage of network or aggregate-address command. At least that's is how it suppose to be. Since it is one of BGP attributes, it can be manipulated by route maps and to be changed to influence best path election.
Other possibilities are:
e - EGP - protocol that was used before BGP (should not appear anymore - so it is for sure present by route-map manipulation of origin attribute)
? - INCOMPLETE - route is advertised into BGP by redistribution

when you run : Show IP BGP
Sometimes the "i" shows under "Network" column and sometimes shows under "Path" column, and sometimes under both columns.

the "i" under the column "Path"
means that the originating router had a network statement for that route.
the other "i", that rarely shows under the column "Network". I am not sure what causes it to show.
I want someone to elaborate on that.

I am not sure if you understood my question.
There are 2 types of "i"s
one of them is clear , it is Origin code , and it will show up under "Path" column when you run show ip bgp command, that one means that the originating router used a Network statement for that route.
the other "i" which is not clear , it is a Status code
If I remember it can show up under Network column(I could be wrong) , when you type show ip bgp command. I do not know what makes it show up ..
I want to know what will make it show up and whether it will show up under Network column as I am guessing.

probably if you have an example for both "i"s , that might make it clearer

the "i" under the column "Path"
means that the originating router had a network statement for that route.
I believe the other "i", that rarely shows under the column "Network".as you stated means

earned VIA iBGP AD [200/0] (does not mean that it is originated in the same AS (could be originated from other AS), just that it is learned from iBGP neighbor)

Thank you Guys
i iBGP
EBGP is peering between two different AS, whereas IBGP is between same AS (Autonomous System)
