FAQ - Why Does an IP Routing Table on NE5000E Not Contain Information About BGP Routes

Why does an IP routing table on NE5000E not contain information about BGP routes?

Version: VRP (R) software, Version 5.70 (NE5000E V300R007C00SPC500)

For example:

On the 218.75.221.0/24 network segment, the output of dis ip routing-table 218.X.Y.0 verbose contains only information about the preferred O_ASE route but does not contain information in the output of dis bgp routing-table 218.X.Y.0.

The definition of dis ip routing-table A.X.Y.Z verbose in related documentation is as follows:

Displays detailed information about active routes and inactive routes. If the parameter is not specified, only the summary of active routes is displayed.

According to rules for adding routes to an IP routing table in VRP5, only routes preferred by routing protocols are added to the IP routing table.

BGP prefers an imported route. That is, the route preferred by BGP is an OSFP route selected from the IP routing table. Therefore, the BGP route does not need to be added into the IP routing table.
