Origin

The origin indicates the origin of the prefix, or how the prefix came into BGP. There are three origin codes: IGP, EGP, INCOMPLETE.

Origin Type
Description
IGP
Indicates the prefix originated from information learned through an interior gateway protocol.
EGP
Indicates the prefix originated from information learned from an EGP protocol, which NGP replaced.
INCOMPLETE
Indicates that the prefix originated from an unknown source.

Generally, an IGP indicator means that the route was derived inside the originating AS. EGP generally means that a route was learned from an external gateway protocol. An INCOMPLETE origin code generally results from aggregation, redistribution, or other indirect ways of installing routes into BGP.

In Dell EMC Networking OS, these origin codes appear as shown in the following example. The question mark (?) indicates an origin code of INCOMPLETE (shown in bold). The lower case letter (i) indicates an origin code of IGP (shown in bold).
