Border Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4) | 377
To remove a network, use the no network ip-address mask [route-map map-name] command.
Parameters
Defaults
Not configured.
Command Modes
ROUTER BGP
Usage
Information
Dell Networking OS software resolves the network address configured by the network command with
the routes in the main routing table to ensure that the networks are reachable via non-BGP routes and
non-default routes.
As BGP does not query next-hop information corresponding to locally originated routes, a local route
with an unreachable next-hop is chosen as the best route.
When a combination of locally originated and peer originated routes occurs, both these routes will
exist in the RTM. However, only the best route is kept active in the RTM and the remaining route is
rendered in-active.
It is possible to keep only one locally originated route in the BGP database. Network command has
preference over the re-distributed routes. When the locally originated route is no longer present in the
database the other route is automatically installed.
In BGP, the next-hop for the route is calculated from the information that is acquired through IGP or
static routes.

Specify this IGP route as the preferred route.
Syntax
network ip-address mask backdoor
ip-address
Enter an IP address in dotted decimal format of the network.
mask
Enter the mask of the IP address in the slash prefix length format (for example, /24).
The mask appears in command outputs in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).
route-map
map-name
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword route-map followed by the name of an established route
map.
Only the following ROUTE-MAP mode commands are supported:
• match ip address
• set community
• set local-preference
• set metric
• set next-hop
• set origin
• set weight
If the route map is not configured, the default is deny (to drop all routes).
redistribute Redistribute routes into BGP.
