The `show` `ipv6_bgp` command displays the local NIOS appliance's IPv6 BGP configuration, reachability information about neighbors, and BGP routes to destinations. You can specify the command with or without an argument. A command without an argument defaults to `show`` ``bgp`` ``route`.

# Syntax
`show ipv6_bgp {route | neighbor | summary | config}`
| **Argument ** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| `route` | Displays the BGP routing table. |
| `summary` | Displays the BGP protocol summary. |
| `neighbor` | Displays information about all known BGP neighbors. If only IPv4 BGP information is available, this command option displays IPv4 information. |
| `config` | Displays the running BGP configuration file, including all IPv4 and IPv6 configuration, prefix lists and access-lists. |
If no applicable information is available (for example, the current device has no IPv6 BGP configuration and hence no IPv6 BGP neighbor information), you are returned to the NIOS CLI prompt.
