exabgpcli syntax for filters?

[Chris Herdt]

I'm using ExaBGP 4.0.8-793a2931.

When using exabgpcli, I can see that I am receiving routes:

$ exabgpcli show neighbor summary

Peer            AS        up/down state       |     #sent     #recvd
192.168.42.1    65321     0:07:27 established           2       1392

And I can list all routes with the following command:

$ exabgpcli show adj-rib in

neighbor 192.168.42.1 ipv4 mpls-vpn 192.168.245.0/27 label 34567 next-hop 192.168.100.1 rd 192.168.100.1:24

etc.

I would like to be able to filter the output of the above, but I don't appear to have the correct syntax:

$ exabgpcli neighbor 192.168.42.1 next-hop 192.168.100.1 show adj-rib in
ExaBGP returns an error (see ExaBGP's logs for more information)
use help for a list of available commands

I'm sending ExaBGP log info to stdout and no errors appear for that command. If I introduce a syntax error, I do see that in stdout:

command from process not understood : neighbor 192.168.42.1 next-hop 192.168.100.1 mistake adj-rib in

Can someone give me a pointer as to the proper syntax?

Thanks,

Chris

Hello Chris,

ExaBGP does not provide this feature.

The unix tool for filtering, grep, can be used if you need.

Sincerely,

Thomas

OK. I was looking at the output to 'exabgpcli help' and it suggested that it was possibly to include a filters, e.g. '[neighbor <ip> [filters]] show adj-rib':

$ exabgpcli help

available API commands are listed here:
=======================================

filter can be: [local-ip <ip>][local-as <asn>][peer-as <asn>][router-id <router-id>]

command are:
------------

#
[neighbor <ip> [filters]] announce attributes
[neighbor <ip> [filters]] announce eor
[neighbor <ip> [filters]] announce flow
[neighbor <ip> [filters]] announce operational
[neighbor <ip> [filters]] announce route
[neighbor <ip> [filters]] announce route-refresh
[neighbor <ip> [filters]] announce vpls
[neighbor <ip> [filters]] announce watchdog
[neighbor <ip> [filters]] clear adj-rib
[neighbor <ip> [filters]] crash
[neighbor <ip> [filters]] flush adj-rib out
[neighbor <ip> [filters]] show adj-rib
[neighbor <ip> [filters]] teardown
[neighbor <ip> [filters]] withdraw attributes
[neighbor <ip> [filters]] withdraw flow
[neighbor <ip> [filters]] withdraw route

[neighbor <ip> [filters]] withdraw watchdog
help
reload

It is a way to limit the command to a peer if more than one connection uses the same IP.

Really unlikely to be used much :)
