[bgp 'inaccesible']

[Carlos A. Silva]

Hi, All:

Just a quick Q. A router does not install a BGP route in the routing table when the next-hop is 'inaccessible' (will be marked as that on show ip bgp x.x.x.x command) or rather there is basically no route towards that next-hop.

Is this the ONLY condition that will show a next-hop as 'inaccesible' in the 'show ip bgp x.x.x.x' command? or is (was) there another way a prefix would not be installed in the routing table and the next-hop would show as 'inaccessible' on that command?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Carlos,

The only reason I can think of is really the inability to find a route towards the next-hop IP in the routing table.

Best regards,

Peter
