Subnet scope and aggregate controls

Describes subnet scope and aggregate controls that manage route advertisement, route sharing, security-policy enforcement, and prefix aggregation for external EPGs and L3Outs.


Subnet scope and aggregate controls are configuration settings that

  • control route advertisement into and out of the fabric,

  • define security requirements for traffic between external and internal EPGs, and

  • aggregate prefixes for route-control policies.

Subnet control options

The following options control subnet behavior:

  • Export Route Control Subnet: Advertises specific transit routes out of the fabric. This option does not control internal routes or bridge domain default gateways.

  • Import Route Control Subnet: Advertises BGP and OSPF routes into the fabric when import route-control enforcement is configured.

  • External Subnets for the External EPG (Security Import Subnet): Permits traffic between external EPGs or between external and internal EPGs. This option requires a contract and a security prefix.

  • Shared Route Control Subnet: Marks routes that are learned from a shared L3Out for advertisement to other VRFs during inter-VRF route leaking.

  • Shared Security Import Subnet: Provides the same security behavior as External Subnets for the External EPG for routes that are learned from shared L3Outs.

  • Aggregate Export, Aggregate Import, and Aggregate Shared Routes: Add the value 32 before the 0.0.0.0/0 prefix and restrict route-control profiles to the 0.0.0.0/0 network.

  • Aggregate Shared Route: This option is available for any prefix that is marked as a Shared Route Control Subnet.

  • Route Control Profile: This profile supports route-map set clauses for routes that are advertised into and out of the fabric. Configure the clauses through route-control profile policies and action-rule profiles.
