116 SSR Command Line Interface Reference Manual
show-warnings
This option causes GateD to issue warning messages when receiving questionable
BGP updates such as duplicate routes and/or deletions of non-existing routes.
Normally these events are silently ignored.
no-aggregator-id
This option causes GateD to specify the router ID in the aggregator attribute as zero
(instead of its router ID) in order to prevent different routers in an AS from creating
aggregate routes with different AS paths.
keep-alives-always
This option causes GateD to always send keepalives, even when an update could
have correctly substituted for one. This allows interoperability with routers that do
not completely obey the protocol specifications on this point.
v3-asloop-okay
By default GateD will not advertise routes whose AS path is looped (i.e. with an AS
appearing more than once in the path) to version 3 external peers. Setting this flag
removes this constraint. Ignored when set on internal groups or peers.
no-v4-asloop
Prevents routes with looped AS paths from being advertised to version 4 external
peers. This can be useful to avoid advertising such routes to peer which would
incorrectly forward the routes on to version 3 neighbors.
as-count <num>
This option determines how many times we will insert our own AS number when we
send the AS path to an external neighbor. Specify a number equal to or greater than 0.
The default is 1. Higher values are typically used to bias upstream neighbors’ route
selection. (All things being equal most routers will prefer to use routes with shorter
AS Paths.
Using ascount, the AS Path the SSR sends can be artificially lengthened.) Note that
ascount supersedes the no-v4-asloop option--regardless of whether no-v4-asloop is
set, the SSR will still send multiple copies its own AS if the as-count option is set to
something greater than one.
Also, note that if the value of ascount is changed and GateD is reconfigured, routes will
not be sent to reflect the new setting. If this is desired, it will be necessary to restart the
peer session. Use only for external peer_hosts. Specify a number from 1-25.
log-up-down
Causes a message to be logged via the SYSLOG mechanism whenever a BGP peer
enters or leaves the ESTABLISHED state.
ttl <num>
By default, BGP sets the IP TTL for local peers to ONE and the TTL for non-local peers
to 255. This option is provided when attempting to communicate with improperly
functioning routers that ignore packets sent with a TTL of ONE. Specify a number
from 1-255.
