Bgp Regular Expression Optimization; Debugging Bgp - Dell S4048–ON Configuration Manual

BGP Regular Expression Optimization

Dell Networking OS optimizes processing time when using regular expressions by caching and re-using regular expression evaluated
results, at the expense of some memory in RP1 processor.
BGP policies that contain regular expressions to match against as-paths and communities might take a lot of CPU processing time,
thus affect BGP routing convergence. Also, show bgp commands that get filtered through regular expressions can to take a lot of
CPU cycles, especially when the database is large.
This feature is turned on by default. If necessary, use the bgp regex-eval-optz-disable command in CONFIGURATION
ROUTER BGP mode to disable it.

Debugging BGP

To enable BGP debugging, use any of the following commands.
• View all information about BGP, including BGP events, keepalives, notifications, and updates.
EXEC Privilege mode
debug ip bgp [ip-address | peer-group peer-group-name] [in | out]
• View information about BGP route being dampened.
EXEC Privilege mode
debug ip bgp dampening [in | out]
• View information about local BGP state changes and other BGP events.
EXEC Privilege mode
debug ip bgp [ip-address | peer-group peer-group-name] events [in | out]
• View information about BGP KEEPALIVE messages.
EXEC Privilege mode
debug ip bgp [ip-address | peer-group peer-group-name] keepalive [in | out]
• View information about BGP notifications received from or sent to neighbors.
EXEC Privilege mode
debug ip bgp [ip-address | peer-group peer-group-name] notifications [in | out]
• View information about BGP updates and filter by prefix name.
EXEC Privilege mode
debug ip bgp [ip-address | peer-group peer-group-name] updates [in | out] [prefix-list
name]
• Enable soft-reconfiguration debug.
EXEC Privilege mode
debug ip bgp {ip-address | peer-group-name} soft-reconfiguration
To enhance debugging of soft reconfig, use the bgp soft-reconfig-backup command only when route-refresh is not
negotiated to avoid the peer from resending messages.
In-BGP is shown using the show ip protocols command.
Dell Networking OS displays debug messages on the console. To view which debugging commands are enabled, use the show
debugging command in EXEC Privilege mode.
To disable a specific debug command, use the keyword no then the debug command. For example, to disable debugging of BGP
updates, use no debug ip bgp updates command.
