Information
At least one of the routes included in the aggregate address must be in the BGP routing table
for the configured aggregate to become active.
Do not add the
as-set parameter to the aggregate, if routes within the aggregate are constantly
changing as the aggregate will flap to keep track of the changes in the AS_PATH.
In route maps used in the
suppress-map parameter, routes meeting the deny clause are not
suppress; in other words, they are allowed. The opposite is true: routes meeting the
permit
clause are suppressed.
If the route is injected via the network command, that route will still appear in the routing
table if the summary-only parameter is configured in the aggregate-address command.
The summary-only parameter suppresses all advertisements. If you want to suppress
advertisements to only specific neighbors, use the neighbor distribute-list command.
In the show ip bgp ipv6 unicast command, aggregates contain an ‘a’ in the first column and
routes suppressed by the aggregate contain an ‘s’ in the first column.
bgp always-compare-med
c e
Allows you to enable comparison of the MULTI_EXIT_DISC (MED) attributes in the paths
from different external ASs.
Syntax
bgp always-compare-med
To disable comparison of MED, enter no bgp always-compare-med.
Defaults
Disabled (that is, the software only compares MEDs from neighbors within the same AS).
Command Modes
