An Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR is configured with a policy to export directly-connected networks to BGP. Which of the following commands verifies that the export was successful?

Question

Options

• Ashow router route-table
• Bshow router bgp routes
• Cshow router bgp routes <prefix> hunt
• Dshow router bgp neighbor <ip-address> received-routes

• A

• B
  4% (1)
• C
  75% (18)
• D
  13% (3)

Explanation

Option C is correct because show router bgp routes <prefix> hunt inspects a specific prefix in the BGP RIB with full detail, revealing the route's origin (e.g., Direct), applied export policy, and BGP attributes - directly confirming that the export policy successfully redistributed the connected network into BGP.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (show router route-table) shows the global IP routing table, not the BGP RIB - it tells you what the router uses for forwarding, not what was exported to BGP.
• B (show router bgp routes) gives a high-level BGP RIB summary without the per-prefix origin and policy detail needed to confirm export success.
• D (received-routes) shows routes learned from a neighbor, which is the opposite direction - you'd use advertised-routes to check what you're sending out.

Memory tip: The keyword hunt means "dig into this exact prefix" - think of it as hunting for evidence of how a route entered BGP. If your export policy worked, hunt will show the origin as Direct with the policy fingerprint. Received vs. advertised is a classic trap: received = inbound, advertised = outbound.
