filter to filter out the traffic carrying the number of the AS. If the BGP routing table of each
device on a network is large, configuring an ACL or an IP prefix list to filter BGP routes
may be complicated and make it difficult to maintain new routes.
NOTE
If the AS_Path information of a summarized route is lost, the AS_Path filter cannot be used to filter
the summarized route, but can still be used to filter the specific routes from which the summarized
route is derived.
An AS_Path filter can be used as a matching condition of a route-policy or be used in the
peer as-path-filter
command.
Perform the following steps on a BGP switch:
1.
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
2.
Run:
ip as-path-filter
{
as-path-filter-number
|
as-path-filter-name
}
{
permit
|
deny
}
regular-expression
An AS_Path filter is configured.
An AS_Path filter uses a regular expression to define matching rules. A regular
expression consists of the following parts:
–
Metacharacter: defines matching rules.
–
General character: defines matching objects.
