Explains how downloaded Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) attributes become visible in CEF and how global or local attribute identifiers select a specific installed attribute for inspection.


Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) attribute download is a CEF capability that

  • makes installed BGP attributes visible through CEF commands

  • identifies attributes by a BGP attribute ID, and

  • supports lookup by a local attribute ID.


View downloaded BGP attributes

Inspect the BGP attributes that CEF installed.

Procedure

  1. Display all installed BGP attributes.

    Example:

    Router# show cef bgp-attribute
    VRF: default
    _____________
    Table ID: 0xe0000000. Total number of entries: 1
    OOR state: GREEN. Number of OOR attributes: 0
     
    BGP Attribute ID: 0x6, Local Attribute ID: 0x1
        Aspath      :    2
        Community   :   
        Origin AS   :    2
        Next Hop AS :    2
  2. To inspect one attribute, select it by its BGP attribute ID or local attribute ID.

    Use show cef bgp-attribute attribute-id or show cef bgp-attribute local-attribute-id command.

The output identifies installed attributes and their resource state.
