Hello Maiyun, the filtered column says how many routes were filtered out by your own configured filters. The rejected column says how many routes were outright rejected by the protocol itself, e.g. with BGP or Pipe it rejects its own routes, while other protocols needs to get the routes exported back to them to work properly.
I hope this helps. Have a nice day!
