Filtering BGP Routes Using AS-PATH Information
To filter routes based on AS-PATH information, use these commands.
1. Create a AS-PATH ACL and assign it a name.
CONFIGURATION mode
ip as-path access-list as-path-name
2. Create a AS-PATH ACL filter with a deny or permit action.
AS-PATH ACL mode
{deny | permit} as-regular-expression
3. Return to CONFIGURATION mode.
AS-PATH ACL
exit
4. Enter ROUTER BGP mode.
CONFIGURATION mode
router bgp as-number
5. Filter routes based on the criteria in the configured route map.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
neighbor { ip-address | peer-group-name } filter-list as-path-name {in | out}
Configure the following parameters:
•
ip-address
or
peer-group-name
: enter the neighbor’s IP address or the peer group’s name.
•
as-path-name
: enter the name of a configured AS-PATH ACL.
•
in
: apply the AS-PATH ACL map to inbound routes.
•
out
: apply the AS-PATH ACL to outbound routes.
To view which commands are configured, use the
show config
command in CONFIGURATION
ROUTER BGP mode and the
show ip as-path-access-list
command in EXEC Privilege mode.
To forward all routes not meeting the AS-PATH ACL criteria, include the permit .* filter in your AS-PATH
ACL.
Configuring BGP Route Reflectors
BGP route reflectors are intended for ASs with a large mesh; they reduce the amount of BGP control
traffic.
NOTE: Dell Networking recommends not using multipath and add path simultaneously in a route
reflector.
With route reflection configured properly, IBGP routers are not fully meshed within a cluster but all
receive routing information.
Configure clusters of routers where one router is a concentration router and the others are clients who
receive their updates from the concentration router.
To configure a route reflector, use the following commands.
