Enabling BGP and IGP Route Synchronization
By default, when a BGP router receives an iBGP route, it only checks the reachability of the route’s next
hop before advertisement. With BGP and IGP synchronization enabled, the BGP router cannot
advertise the iBGP route to eBGP peers unless the route is also available in the IGP routing table.
Follow these steps to enable BGP and IGP synchronization:

Limiting Prefixes Received from a Peer/Peer Group
Follow these steps to configure the maximum number of prefixes allowed to be received from a
peer/peer group:
To do…

Specify the maximum number of prefixes that
can be received from a peer/peer group.
If the number is reached, the router breaks down
the BGP connection to the peer.
peer
{
group-name
|
ip-address
}
route-limit
prefix-number
[
percentage-value
]
Specify the maximum number of prefixes that
can be received from a peer/peer group.
If the number is reached, the router outputs alert
information but does not break down the BGP
connection to the peer.
peer
{
group-name
|
ip-address
}
route-limit
prefix-number alert-only
[
percentage-value
]
Specify the maximum number of prefixes that
can be received from a peer/peer group.
If the number is reached, the router breaks down
the BGP connection to the peer and then
reestablishes a BGP connection to the peer.

Configuring BGP Route Dampening
By configuring BGP route dampening, you can suppress unstable routes from being added to the local
routing table or being advertised to BGP peers.
