Examples
This sample output shows that the internal route (i), has flapped 3 times and is now categorized as history (h).

Code
Description
Comments
s
suppressed
Whether the route is suppressed and is not advertised to neighbors.
d
damped
When the penalty of a flapping route exceeds the suppress limit, the route is damped and remains in a withdrawn state until its penalty decreases below the reuse limit.
h
history
When the penalty of a flapping route does not exceed the suppress limit, the route is not damped and BGP maintains a history of the flapping route.
p
stale
When the BGP neighbor from which a route is learned is in graceful restart, the route is retained in the BGP routing table, but marked as stale.
*
valid
Whether the route is valid. When a route is not suppressed, damped, or present in the history, it is valid.
>
best
The selected route to be installed in the kernel routing table.
i
internal
The prefix was learned from an iBGP peer.
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete
 
Table 4-49 shows the codes at the end of each route entry that indicate where the route originated.

Code
Description
Comments
i
IGP
The route is from an Interior Gateway Protocol.
e
EGP
The route is from an Exterior Gateway Protocol.
?
incomplete
Origin not known. Typically, these are routes redistributed from an IGP.

Field
Description
Network
Internet address of a network.
From
IP address of the advertising peer.
Flaps
Number of times this route has failed and returned (flapped).
Duration
Elapsed time since the first penalty points were assessed.
