Regular Expressions as filters
Regular expressions are used to filter AS paths or community lists. A regular expression is a special
character used to define a pattern that is then compared with an input string.
For an AS-path access list as shown in the commands above, if the AS path matches the regular expression
in the access list, then the route matches the access list.
Figure 10-27 applies access list Eagle to routes inbound from BGP peer 10.5.5.2. Access list Eagle uses a
regular expression to deny routes originating in AS 32.
