Been hearing about the command «show ip bgp regexp» but never really put it to use at work. I think its time I use this command to filter out learned bgp routes. I got these tables from the Internetwork Expert Blog I like to read. Time to put this into good use by beginning to use the basics first before proceeding to much advance filtering.
