Hello Roman, 1. Bird 1.3.x is very old. Bird 1.6.8 and 2.0.7 are the current versions. If you still run on Bird 1.3 I highly recommend that you upgrade to at least 1.6.x 2. There is such a command already: `show protocols`. It doesn't show you how many prefixes you received from it, but is you ask for more detail it will: `show protocols all`. If you have a lot of peers, this will show you way to much information, so you can also request this info for 1 specific peer: `show protocols all <name_of_the_peer_in_the_bird_config>`. I don't know if these commands work on 1.3 though, but I think they would. I never used 1.3, I started using Bird when 1.6.4 was the latest and greatest and Bird 2 didn't exist yet. Or is there some more you want to see from the `sh bgp sum` command that isn't shown by `show protocols`, even with more details? Kind regards, Cybertinus On 2021-02-25 07:37, Roman Bulakh wrote:
Hi,
we use BIRD in our environment, and it would be very nice to have some command like `show bgp summary` in juniper. This command show information about peer IP, peer AS, last update, prefixes received/best/exported and last state.
Example: bird> show bgp summary Peer AS Last state change Prfx rcvd/best/export State X.X.X.X asXXXX 2021-01-27 6786/6785/109000 Established Y.Y.Y.Y asYYYY 2020-12-16 0/0/0 Passive BGP Error: Hold timer expired
The are patch created for BIRD 1.3.4 and 1.3.6, but it would be good to have this in upstream software, without rebuilding and patching.
as I understand it, no functionality should be affected by these changes, this is only a visual update for cli.
