View OMP metrics

To view the OMP RIB metrics for a route, use the show ip route command on a transport gateway that is translating OMP RIB metrics.

The example below shows the OMP RIB metrics for the 10.1.1.1 route. The following metrics are shown in bold in the output:

  • OMP Route Metric: 3

  • OMP AS-PATH: 100 101

Device# show ip route vrf 1 10.1.1.1 protocol-internal
Routing Table: 1
Routing entry for 10.1.1.1/32
  Known via "omp", distance 251, metric 3, type omp
  Redistributing via bgp 1
  Advertised by bgp 1

        Total OMP attr count 1, aspath 1, community 0
      Route metric is 3, traffic share count is 1

OMP route metric for IPv4 routes

To show the OMP route metric for each IPv4 route prefix that a transport gateway is redistributing, use the show ip route command on the transport gateway. The OMP route metric, which is 66, is shown in bold in the output, and the administrative distance is 251.

device# show ip route vrf 1 omp

Routing Table: 1

      10.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
m        10.10.10.10 [251/66] via 172.16.0.1, 00:09:15

OMP route metric for IPv6 routes

To show the OMP route metric for each IPv6 route prefix that a transport gateway is redistributing, use the show ipv6 route command on the transport gateway. The OMP route metric, which is 66, is shown in bold in the output, and the administrative distance is 251.

device# show ipv6 route vrf 1 omp
m   2001:DB8::/128 [251/66]
     via 172.16.0.1%default

View BGP metrics

To view the derived BGP metrics for a route, use the show ip bgp command on a transport gateway that is translating OMP RIB metrics.

This example shows the derived BGP metrics for the 10.1.1.1 route. Though the example shows an IPv4 route, IPv6 routes are also supported. The following metrics are shown in bold in the output:

  • BGP MED: 3

  • BGP LOCAL_PREF: 252

  • BGP AS_PATH: 100 100 100 100 101 (This is 100 100 100 (3 copies), plus the original 100 101 of the OMP AS-PATH value.)

device# show ip bgp vpnv4 all 10.1.1.1
BGP routing table entry for 1:1:10.1.1.1/32, version 2

View OSPF metrics

To show that the redistribute omp translate-rib-metric command is active on a router, use the show ip ospf command. The result shown in bold in the output shows that the router is configured to translate RIB metrics.

  • OSPF Metric for IPv4 Routes

  • OSPF Metric for IPv6 Routes

OSPF Metric for IPv4 Routes

To show the OSPF metric that the transport gateway uses when distributing IPv4 routes to OSPF, use the show ip ospf command on the transport gateway. The OSPF metric, which is determined by the OMP route metric, is 66 in this example, and is shown in bold in the output.

Router#show ip ospf 1 rib redistribution
            OSPF Router with ID (192.168.0.1) (Process ID 1)

  Base Topology (MTID 0)

OSPF Redistribution
10.10.10.10/32, type 2, metric 66, tag 0, from OMP_AGENT Router
   via 172.16.0.1, unknown interface
…

OSPF Metric for IPv6 Routes

TTo show the OSPF metric that the transport gateway uses when distributing IPv6 routes to OSPF, use the show ospfv3 command on the transport gateway. The OSPF metric, which is determined by the OMP route metric, is 66 in this example, and is shown in bold in the output.

Router#show ospfv3 vrf 1  ipv6 rib redistribution
          OSPFv3 10 address-family ipv6 vrf 1 (router-id 192.168.0.1)
 
2001:DB8::/128, type 2, metric 66, tag 0, from omp
  via 172.16.0.1
