A network engineer runs the following command to troubleshoot a Route Redistribution issue:
R1# show ip bgp vpnv4 vrf CUSTOMER routes
And sees the following output:
Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path Route Distinguisher: 100:1 (default for vrf CUSTOMER) *> 192.168.10.0/24 10.1.1.2 0 100 0 65001 i *> 192.168.20.0/24 10.1.1.2 0 100 0 65001 i
What does this output indicate?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the origin code 'i' (IGP) with OSPF redistribution — candidates see 'i' and assume OSPF was involved, when it simply means the route originated as an internal IGP in the source AS.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The VRF CUSTOMER has two routes learned via BGP from AS 65001.
The output shows two prefixes (192.168.10.0/24 and 192.168.20.0/24) inside the VRF CUSTOMER's VPNv4 table, each with an AS path of '65001 i' and next hop 10.1.1.2. The trailing 'i' indicates the origin is IGP (network statement or redistribution with origin i), and the AS path shows the routes were received from eBGP peer in AS 65001. Therefore the VRF has two BGP-learned routes from AS 65001.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The VRF CUSTOMER has two routes learned via BGP from AS 65001.
Why this is correct
Two prefixes appear under Route Distinguisher 100:1 with next hop 10.1.1.2 and AS path 65001, confirming both were learned from that neighbour. The asterisks and greater-than sign mark them as valid, best routes within VRF CUSTOMER.
- ✗
The routes are redistributed from OSPF into BGP within the VRF.
Why it's wrong here
The output shows routes with AS-path 65001 and next hop 10.1.1.2, indicating eBGP-learned prefixes, not OSPF redistribution. It is tempting because redistribution into BGP is a common cause of route issues, and this would be the answer if the paths showed no AS or an incomplete origin code.
- ✗
The VRF is not receiving any routes because of a redistribution issue.
Why it's wrong here
The VRF is receiving routes: two prefixes appear with valid next hops and best-path markers, so no redistribution failure is present. It is tempting because the engineer ran the command to troubleshoot redistribution, and this would be correct if the table were empty or showed only unreachable next hops.
- ✗
The routes are locally originated within the VRF.
Why it's wrong here
Locally originated routes carry an empty AS-path and weight 32768; here weight is 0 and AS-path 65001 appears, so the prefixes arrived from an external peer. It is tempting because local origination is a common redistribution scenario, and it would be correct if the output showed no AS number.
