Here is a little explanation.


"show ip bgp" shows the bgp routing table. This may or may not be different
from the IP routing table for a particular router.

"show ip bgp summ" shows the EBGP & IBGP neighbor/peer relationships that a
router has been able to establish.

"show ip route bgp" shows all the BGP routes (both IBGP & EBGP) that have
qualified to enter the IP routing table of a router. Again this may be a
subset of what is being seen with the first command "show ip bgp"

I have a feeling that you may still need to do a lot of reading as all this
is very basic to BGP. I would also say the same thing that has been
repeatedly said on this list many times that Bassam Halabi's "INTERNET
ROUTING ARCHITECTURES" is one of the best books to learn about BGP.

Can anyone please explain to me what is the difference between the
command "show ip bgp" (or show ip bgp summary) and "show ip route bgp"?
I have read the BSCN book between page 348 and 352 many times, but I'm
still very confused.  The book said "show ip bgp" displays BGP routing
table?? But I thought that should be "show ip route bgp".  Please help.
