Configuring BGP

Monitoring and Maintaining BGP

Once a route is dampened, you can display BGP route dampening information, including the time remaining before the dampened routes will be unsuppressed. To display the information, use the following command in EXEC mode:

Command	Purpose
Router# show ip bgp dampened-paths	Displays the dampened routes, including the time remaining
	before they will be unsuppressed.

You can clear BGP route dampening information and unsuppress any suppressed routes by using the following command in EXEC mode:

Command	Purpose
Router# clear ip bgp dampening [ip-address	Clears route dampening information and unsuppresses the
network-mask]	suppressed routes.

Monitoring and Maintaining BGP

You can remove all contents of a particular cache, table, or database. You also can display specific statistics. The following sections describe each of these tasks.

Clearing Caches, Tables, and Databases

You can remove all contents of a particular cache, table, or database. Clearing a cache, table, or database can become necessary when the contents of the particular structure have become, or are suspected to be, invalid.

To clear caches, tables, and databases for BGP, use the following commands in EXEC mode, as needed:

Command				Purpose
Router# clear		ip bgp neighbor-address		Resets a particular BGP connection.
Router#	clear	ip bgp	*	Resets all BGP connections.
Router#	clear	ip bgp	peer-group tag	Removes all members of a BGP peer group.

Displaying System and Network Statistics

You can display specific statistics such as the contents of BGP routing tables, caches, and databases. Information provided can be used to determine resource utilization and solve network problems. You can also display information about node reachability and discover the routing path that the packets of your device are taking through the network.
