How to Read the BGP Table

Hello Justin

Yes, it is a bit strange how the origin code is simply added at the end of each row of the BGP table without any header to the column. Even worse, if the route being advertised was locally generated, the Path column remains empty, and the origin code seems to be part of the path column! The Cisco command reference documentation explains it this way:

The origin code is placed at the end of each line in the table.

It would be nice if it had its own column! :face_with_raised_eyebrow: But it’s good that you point it out to keep it in mind and avoid confusion. Thanks for sharing that!

I hope this has been helpful!
