Routing Tables#

Routing Tables serve as a fundamental resource for verifying BGP sessions, routes, and their statuses. These tables present a comprehensive overview of all routes advertised by neighboring BGP peering sessions, alongside static routes and peering networks. Furthermore, they offer critical insights into network costs, protocols, and interface data.

The Routing Tables can be accessed under the Virtual Router tab in the Inventory.

In the Routing tables, users should be able to view:

  • BGP sessions and neighbor routes
  • Static routes
  • Full BGP Table
