view vpnv4 prefix and ip prefix

[maher]

Hi there,

Normally, we use the command such as "sh ip bgp vpnv4 all" "sh ip route vrf" and etc to determine the prefix path.May I know what command in cisco devices that actually reflect vpnv4 prefix and IP prefix? Sound like a stupid question but I just want to confirm.

Thanks in advance.

You are right about the command

show ip bgp vpnv4 ip-prefix

For more information on how the Routes are distinguished and the use of BGP extended communities (route targets)
