BGP Questions - BGP Routing Table

[JohnTylerPearce]

I have a few questions on my BGP routing table (This is a test network with gns3)

   Network          Next Hop            Metric LocPrf Weight Path

*> 2.2.2.2/32       0.0.0.0                  0               32768   i

*>i3.3.3.3/32       192.168.23.3          0    100             0  i

* i4.4.4.4/32       192.168.23.3           0    100             0  200 i

*                        192.168.43.4           0                      0 200 i

*>                      192.168.34.4           0                      0 200 i

What is with the * and nothing by it? Ive never seen that before. My other

question is what is with the *> but nothing buy it too?

This configuration is from R2.

Next-Hop-Self is used on all iBGP routers on AS 100.

At the cli input " show ip bgp"

You will see what they mean.

Hi,

these are all about the same prefix 4.4.4.4/32 and the last entry is the best, as Andrew stated just do sh ip bgp 4.4.4.4 255.255.255.255 and you'll have more details abou the other paths and discover why the last one was chosen as best.

Regards.

Thanks for the help guys. This is what happens when I dont play with BGP for a while, I get a little rusty. I wanted to prefer the path from 23.0, so I just created a standard access-list, route-map, and applied it inbound from the other neighbor, and it worked perfectly.
