In-BGP is shown using the show ip protocols command.
The system 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 specic 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.
To disable all BGP debugging, use the no debug ip bgp command.
To disable all debugging, use the undebug all command.
Storing Last and Bad PDUs
The system stores the last notication sent/received and the last bad protocol data unit (PDU) received on a per peer basis. The last
bad PDU is the one that causes a notication to be issued.
In the following example, the last seven lines shown in bold are the last PDUs.
