A firewall administrator is trying to identify active routes learned via BGP in the virtual router runtime stats within the GUI. Where can they find this information?

The correct answer is B. routes listed in the routing table with flags A/B. In PAN-OS virtual router runtime stats, active BGP routes appear in the routing table flagged with A (Active - best path selected and installed) and B (learned via BGP), making option B correct. Option A is wrong because the flag O denotes OSPF routes, not BGP - "Oi" would…

A firewall administrator is trying to identify active routes learned via BGP in the virtual router runtime stats within the GUI. Where can they find this information?

Options

  • Aroutes listed in the routing table with flags Oi
  • Broutes listed in the routing table with flags A/B
  • Cunder the BGP Summary tab
  • Droutes listed in the forwarding table with BGP in the Protocol column

Explanation

In PAN-OS virtual router runtime stats, active BGP routes appear in the routing table flagged with A (Active - best path selected and installed) and B (learned via BGP), making option B correct. Option A is wrong because the flag O denotes OSPF routes, not BGP - "Oi" would indicate an OSPF intra-area route. Option C is wrong because the BGP Summary tab shows peer/neighbor session state and prefix counts, not the actual routes themselves. Option D is wrong because the forwarding table reflects what's programmed into the data plane, and routes there aren't filtered or labeled by protocol in a "BGP column" - you'd look at the routing table to see protocol-specific flags.

Memory tip: Think A/B = Active BGP - the two flags literally spell out what you're looking for, and both must be present for the route to be actively used.
