Outgoing BGP routing information

[borek]

If I wanted to know what routes local BGP peer sends to remote BGP peer, I would use "sh ip bgp neighbor a.b.c.d advertised-routes". Unfortunately, this does not really show what exactly is sent: for example if you adjust MED with route map, the "advertised-routes" command does not show it; also it does not show confederation sub-AS numbers converted to real AS when peering with external peer.

Is there way to really know what one is sending out via BGP?

The display shows the routes from the local BGP table that you would advertise to your peers...so they don't have the outgoing policies applied. :-(

There has been a request to add the functionality you want for a while: CSCds64118. To expedite the process, have your account team talk to the routing PM about it.
