IP Routing: BGP Command Reference, Cisco IOS XE Release 3SE (Catalyst 3850 Switches)

redistribute (BGP to ISO IS-IS)

To redistribute routes from a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) autonomous system into an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) routing process, use the redistribute command in router configuration mode. To remove the redistribute command from the configuration file and restore the system to its default condition where the software does not redistribute BGP routes into IS-IS, use the no form of this command.

redistribute protocol autonomous-system-number [route-type] [ route-map map-tag ]

no redistribute protocol autonomous-system-number [route-type] [ route-map map-tag ]

Syntax Description

protocol	Source protocol from which routes are being redistributed. It must be the bgp keyword. The bgp keyword is used to redistribute dynamic routes.
autonomous-system-number	The autonomous system number of the BGP routing process from which BGP routes are redistributed into IS-IS. The range of values for this argument is any valid autonomous system number from 1 to 65535. In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)SY8, 12.0(33)S3, 12.2(33)SRE, 12.2(33)XNE, 12.2(33)SXI1, Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4, and later releases, 4-byte autonomous system numbers are supported in the range from 65536 to 4294967295 in asplain notation and in the range from 1.0 to 65535.65535 in asdot notation. In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S12, 12.4(24)T, and Cisco IOS XE Release 2.3, 4-byte autonomous system numbers are supported in the range from 1.0 to 65535.65535 in asdot notation only. For more details about autonomous system number formats, see the router bgp command.
route-type	(Optional) The type of route to be redistributed. It can be one of the following keywords: clns or ip. The default is ip. The clns keyword is used to redistribute BGP routes with network service access point (NSAP) addresses into IS-IS. The ip keyword is used to redistribute BGP routes with IP addresses into IS-IS.
route-map map-tag	(Optional) Identifier of a configured route map. The route map should be examined to filter the importation of routes from this source routing protocol to IS-IS. If not specified, all routes are redistributed. If the keyword is specified, but no route map tags are listed, no routes will be imported.

Command Default

Route redistribution from BGP to ISO IS-IS is disabled.

Usage Guidelines

The clns keyword must be specified to redistribute NSAP prefix routes from BGP into an ISO IS-IS routing process. This version of the redistribute command is used only under router configuration mode for IS-IS processes.

Note

Be aware that when you configure the no redistribute bgp autonomous-system route-map map-name command under the router isis router configuration command, IS-IS removes the entire redistribute command, not just the route map. This behavior differs from the no redistribute isis command configured under the router bgp router configuration command, which removes a keyword.

Examples

The following example configures NSAP prefix routes from BGP autonomous system 64500 to be redistributed into the IS-IS routing process called osi-proc-17:

router isis osi-proc-17
 redistribute bgp 64500 clns

redistribute protocol [ process-id ] { level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2 } [ autonomous-system-number ] [ metric { metric-value | transparent } ] [ metric-type type-value ] [ match { internal | external 1 | external 2 } ] [ tag tag-value ] [ route-map map-tag ] [subnets] [nssa-only]

no redistribute protocol [ process-id ] { level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2 } [ autonomous-system-number ] [ metric { metric-value | transparent } ] [ metric-type type-value ] [ match { internal | external 1 | external 2 } ] [ tag tag-value ] [ route-map map-tag ] [subnets] [nssa-only]

Syntax Description

protocol	Source protocol from which routes are being redistributed. It can be one of the following keywords: bgp, connected, eigrp, isis, mobile, ospf, rip, or static [ip]. The static [ip] keyword is used to redistribute IP static routes. The optional ip keyword is used when redistributing into the Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) protocol. The connected keyword refers to routes that are established automatically by virtue of having enabled IP on an interface. For routing protocols such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and IS-IS, these routes will be redistributed as external to the autonomous system.
process-id	(Optional) For the bgp or eigrp keyword, this is an autonomous system number, which is a 16-bit decimal number. For the isis keyword, this is an optional tag value that defines a meaningful name for a routing process. You can specify only one IS-IS process per router. Creating a name for a routing process means that you use names when configuring routing. For the ospf keyword, this is an appropriate OSPF process ID from which routes are to be redistributed. This identifies the routing process. This value takes the form of a nonzero decimal number. For the rip keyword, no process-id value is needed. By default, no process ID is defined.
level-1	Specifies that, for IS-IS, Level 1 routes are redistributed into other IP routing protocols independently.
level-1-2	Specifies that, for IS-IS, both Level 1 and Level 2 routes are redistributed into other IP routing protocols.
level-2	Specifies that, for IS-IS, Level 2 routes are redistributed into other IP routing protocols independently.
autonomous-system-number	(Optional) Autonomous system number for the redistributed route. The range is from 1 to 65535. In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)SY8, 12.0(33)S3, 12.2(33)SRE, 12.2(33)XNE, 12.2(33)SXI1, Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4, and later releases, 4-byte autonomous system numbers are supported in the range from 65536 to 4294967295 in asplain notation and in the range from 1.0 to 65535.65535 in asdot notation. In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S12, 12.4(24)T, and Cisco IOS XE Release 2.3, 4-byte autonomous system numbers are supported in the range from 1.0 to 65535.65535 in asdot notation only. For more details about autonomous system number formats, see the router bgp command.
metric metric-value	(Optional) When redistributing from one OSPF process to another OSPF process on the same router, the metric will be carried through from one process to the other if no metric value is specified. When redistributing other processes to an OSPF process, the default metric is 20 when no metric value is specified. The default value is 0.
metric transparent	(Optional) Causes Routing Information Protocol (RIP) to use the routing table metric for redistributed routes as the RIP metric.
metric-type type value	(Optional) For OSPF, specifies the external link type associated with the default route advertised into the OSPF routing domain. It can be one of two values: 1—Type 1 external route 2—Type 2 external route If a metric-type is not specified, the Cisco IOS software adopts a Type 2 external route. For IS-IS, it can be one of two values: internal—IS-IS metric that is < 63. external—IS-IS metric that is > 64 < 128. The default is internal.
match {internal \| external1 \| external2}	(Optional) Specifies the criteria by which OSPF routes are redistributed into other routing domains. It can be one of the following: internal—Routes that are internal to a specific autonomous system. external 1—Routes that are external to the autonomous system, but are imported into OSPF as Type 1 external routes. external 2—Routes that are external to the autonomous system, but are imported into OSPF as Type 2 external routes. The default is internal.
tag tag-value	(Optional) Specifies the 32-bit decimal value attached to each external route. This is not used by OSPF itself. It may be used to communicate information between Autonomous System Boundary Routers (ASBRs). If none is specified, the remote autonomous system number is used for routes from Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP); for other protocols, zero (0) is used.
route-map	(Optional) Specifies the route map that should be interrogated to filter the importation of routes from this source routing protocol to the current routing protocol. If not specified, all routes are redistributed. If this keyword is specified, but no route map tags are listed, no routes will be imported.
map-tag	(Optional) Identifier of a configured route map.
subnets	(Optional) For redistributing routes into OSPF, the scope of redistribution for the specified protocol. By default, no subnets are defined.
nssa-only	(Optional) Sets the nssa-only attribute for all routes redistributed into OSPF.

Command Default

Route redistribution is disabled.

Usage Guidelines

Using the no Form of the redistribute Command

Caution

Removing options that you have configured for the redistribute command requires careful use of the no form of the redistribute command to ensure that you obtain the result that you are expecting. Changing or disabling any keyword may or may not affect the state of other keywords, depending on the protocol.

It is important to understand that different protocols implement the no version of the redistribute command differently:

In BGP, OSPF, and RIP configurations, the no redistribute command removes only the specified keywords from the redistribute commands in the running configuration. They use the subtractive keyword method when redistributing from other protocols. For example, in the case of BGP, if you configure no redistribute static route-map interior, only the route map is removed from the redistribution, leaving redistribute static in place with no filter.
The no redistribute isis command removes the IS-IS redistribution from the running configuration. IS-IS removes the entire command, regardless of whether IS-IS is the redistributed or redistributing protocol.
EIGRP used the subtractive keyword method prior to EIGRP component version rel5. Starting with EIGRP component version rel5, the no redistribute command removes the entire redistribute command when redistributing from any other protocol.

Additional Usage Guidelines for the redistribute Command

A router receiving a link-state protocol with an internal metric will consider the cost of the route from itself to the redistributing router plus the advertised cost to reach the destination. An external metric only considers the advertised metric to reach the destination.

Routes learned from IP routing protocols can be redistributed at Level 1 into an attached area or at Level 2. The level-1-2 keyword allows both Level 1 and Level 2 routes in a single command.

Redistributed routing information must be filtered by the distribute-list out router configuration command. This guideline ensures that only those routes intended by the administrator are passed along to the receiving routing protocol.

Whenever you use the redistribute or the default-information router configuration commands to redistribute routes into an OSPF routing domain, the router automatically becomes an ASBR. However, an ASBR does not, by default, generate a default route into the OSPF routing domain.

When routes are redistributed into OSPF from protocols other than OSPF or BGP, and no metric has been specified with the metric-type keyword and type-value argument, OSPF will use 20 as the default metric. When routes are redistributed into OSPF from BGP, OSPF will use 1 as the default metric. When routes are redistributed from one OSPF process to another OSPF process, autonomous system external and not-so-stubby-area (NSSA) routes will use 20 as the default metric. When intra-area and inter-area routes are redistributed between OSPF processes, the internal OSPF metric from the redistribution source process is advertised as the external metric in the redistribution destination process. (This is the only case in which the routing table metric will be preserved when routes are redistributed into OSPF.)

When routes are redistributed into OSPF, only routes that are not subnetted are redistributed if the subnets keyword is not specified.

On a router internal to an NSSA area, the nssa-only keyword causes the originated type-7 NSSA LSAs to have their propagate (P) bit set to zero, which prevents area border routers from translating these LSAs into type-5 external LSAs. On an area border router that is connected to an NSSA and normal areas, the nssa-only keyword causes the routes to be redistributed only into the NSSA areas.

Routes configured with the connected keyword affected by this redistribute command are the routes not specified by the network router configuration command.

You cannot use the default-metric command to affect the metric used to advertise connected routes.

Note

The metric value specified in the redistribute command supersedes the metric value specified using the default-metric command.

The default redistribution of interior gateway protocol (IGP) or Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) into BGP is not allowed unless the default-information originate router configuration command is specified.

Release 12.2(33)SRB

If you plan to configure the Multi-Topology Routing (MTR) feature, you need to enter the redistribute command in address family topology configuration mode in order for this OSPF configuration command to become topology-aware.

4-Byte Autonomous System Number Support

In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)SY8, 12.0(33)S3, 12.2(33)SRE, 12.2(33)XNE, 12.2(33)SXI1, Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4, and later releases, the Cisco implementation of 4-byte autonomous system numbers uses asplain—65538 for example—as the default regular expression match and output display format for autonomous system numbers, but you can configure 4-byte autonomous system numbers in both the asplain format and the asdot format as described in RFC 5396. To change the default regular expression match and output display of 4-byte autonomous system numbers to asdot format, use the bgp asnotation dot command.

In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S12, 12.4(24)T, and Cisco IOS XE Release 2.3, the Cisco implementation of 4-byte autonomous system numbers uses asdot—1.2, for example—as the only configuration format, regular expression match, and output display, with no asplain support.

Examples

The following example shows how OSPF routes are redistributed into a BGP domain:

Router(config)# router bgp 109
Router(config-router)# redistribute ospf

The following example shows how to redistribute EIGRP routes into an OSPF domain:

Router(config)# router ospf 110
Router(config-router)# redistribute eigrp

The following example shows how to redistribute the specified EIGRP process routes into an OSPF domain. The EIGRP-derived metric will be remapped to 100 and RIP routes to 200.

Router(config)# router ospf 109
Router(config-router)# redistribute eigrp 108 metric 100 subnets
Router(config-router)# redistribute rip metric 200 subnets

The following example shows how to configure BGP routes to be redistributed into IS-IS. The link-state cost is specified as 5, and the metric type is set to external, indicating that it has lower priority than internal metrics.

Router(config)# router isis
Router(config-router)# redistribute bgp 120 metric 5 metric-type external

In the following example, network 172.16.0.0 will appear as an external LSA in OSPF 1 with a cost of 100 (the cost is preserved):

Router(config)# interface ethernet 0
Router(config-if)# ip address 172.16.0.1 255.0.0.0
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)# ip ospf cost 100
Router(config)# interface ethernet 1
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
!
Router(config)# router ospf 1
Router(config-router)# network 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 0
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config-router)# redistribute ospf 2 subnet
Router(config)# router ospf 2
Router(config-router)# network 172.16.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 0

The following example shows how BGP routes are redistributed into OSPF and assigned the local 4-byte autonomous system number in asplain format. This example requires Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)SY8, 12.0(33)S3, 12.2(33)SRE, 12.2(33)SXI1, Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4, or a later release.

Router(config)# router ospf 2
Router(config-router)# redistribute bgp 65538

The following example shows how to remove the connected metric 1000 subnets options from the redistribute connected metric 1000 subnets command and leave the redistribute connected command in the configuration:

Router(config-router)# no redistribute connected metric 1000 subnets

The following example shows how to remove the metric 1000 options from the redistribute connected metric 1000 subnets command and leave the redistribute connected subnets command in the configuration:

Router(config-router)# no redistribute connected metric 1000

The following example shows how to remove the subnets option from the redistribute connected metric 1000 subnets command and leave the redistribute connected metric 1000 command in the configuration:

Router(config-router)# no redistribute connected subnets

The following example shows how to remove the redistribute connected command, and any of the options that were configured for the redistribute connected command, from the configuration:

Router(config-router)# no redistribute connected

The following example shows how EIGRP routes are redistributed into an EIGRP process in a named EIGRP configuration:

Router(config)# router eigrp virtual-name
Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 autonomous-system 1
Router(config-router-af)# topology base
Router(config-router-af-topology)# redistribute eigrp 6473 metric 1 1 1 1 1

The following example shows how to set and disable the redistributions in EIGRP configuration. Note that, in the case of EIGRP, the no form of the commands removes the entire set of redistribute commands from the running configuration.

Router(config)# router eigrp 1
Router(config-router)# network 0.0.0.0
Router(config-router)# redistribute eigrp 2 route-map x
Router(config-router)# redistribute ospf 1 route-map x
Router(config-router)# redistribute bgp 1 route-map x

Router(config-router)# no redistribute rip route-map x
Router(config-router)# end

Router# show running-config | section router eigrp 1

router eigrp 1
 network 0.0.0.0

The following example shows how to set and disable the redistributions in OSPF configuration. Note that the no form of the commands removes only the specified keywords from the redistribute command in the running configuration.

Router(config)# router ospf 1
Router(config-router)# network 0.0.0.0
Router(config-router)# redistribute eigrp 2 route-map x
Router(config-router)# redistribute ospf 1 route-map x
Router(config-router)# redistribute bgp 1 route-map x

Router# show running-config | section router ospf 1

router ospf 1
 redistribute eigrp 2
 redistribute ospf 1
 redistribute bgp 1

Router(config)# router bgp 65000
Router(config-router)# no redistribute eigrp 2 route-map x

The following example shows how to remove the EIGRP redistribution to BGP:

Router(config)# router bgp 65000

redistribute protocol [process-id] [route-type] [ route-map [map-tag] ]

no redistribute protocol [process-id] [route-type] [ route-map [map-tag] ]

Syntax Description

protocol	Source protocol from which routes are being redistributed. It can be one of the following keywords: isis or static. The isis keyword is used to redistribute dynamic routes. The static keyword is used to redistribute static routes.
process-id	(Optional) When IS-IS is used as a source protocol, this argument defines a meaningful name for a routing process. The process-id argument identifies from which IS-IS routing process routes will be redistributed. Routes can be redistributed only from IS-IS routing processes that involve Level 2 routes, including IS-IS Level 1-2 and Level 2 routing processes. The process-id argument is not used when the static keyword is used as the protocol.
route-type	(Optional) The type of route to be redistributed. It can be one of the following keywords: clns or ip. The default is ip. The clns keyword is used to redistribute Connectionless Network Service (CLNS) routes with network service access point (NSAP) addresses into BGP. The ip keyword is used to redistribute IS-IS routes with IP addresses into BGP.
route-map map-tag	(Optional) Identifier of a configured route map. The route map is examined to filter the importation of routes from this source routing protocol to BGP. If no route map is specified, all routes are redistributed. If the route-map keyword is specified, but no map-tag value is entered, no routes are imported.

Command Default

Route redistribution from ISO IS-IS to BGP is disabled.

Usage Guidelines

This command allows you to set up a distributed routing core that automatically guarantees the loop-free exchange of routing information between autonomous systems.

Prior to January 2009, BGP autonomous system numbers that were allocated to companies were 2-octet numbers in the range from 1 to 65535 as described in RFC 4271, A Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4) . Due to increased demand for autonomous system numbers, the Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) will start in January 2009 to allocate four-octet autonomous system numbers in the range from 65536 to 4294967295. RFC 5396, Textual Representation of Autonomous System (AS) Numbers , documents three methods of representing autonomous system numbers. Cisco has implemented the following two methods:

Asplain—Decimal value notation where both 2-byte and 4-byte autonomous system numbers are represented by their decimal value. For example, 65526 is a 2-byte autonomous system number and 234567 is a 4-byte autonomous system number.
Asdot—Autonomous system dot notation where 2-byte autonomous system numbers are represented by their decimal value and 4-byte autonomous system numbers are represented by a dot notation. For example, 65526 is a 2-byte autonomous system number and 1.169031 is a 4-byte autonomous system number (this is dot notation for the 234567 decimal number).

For details about the third method of representing autonomous system numbers, see RFC 5396.

Note

In Cisco IOS releases that include 4-byte ASN support, command accounting and command authorization that include a 4-byte ASN number are sent in the asplain notation irrespective of the format that is used on the command-line interface.

Asdot Only Autonomous System Number Formatting

In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S12, 12.4(24)T, Cisco IOS XE Release 2.3, and later releases, the 4-octet (4-byte) autonomous system numbers are entered and displayed only in asdot notation, for example, 1.10 or 45000.64000. When using regular expressions to match 4-byte autonomous system numbers the asdot format includes a period which is a special character in regular expressions. A backslash must be entered before the period for example, 1\.14, to ensure the regular expression match does not fail. The table below shows the format in which 2-byte and 4-byte autonomous system numbers are configured, matched in regular expressions, and displayed in show command output in Cisco IOS images where only asdot formatting is available.

Table 1 Asdot Only 4-Byte Autonomous System Number Format
Format	Configuration Format	Show Command Output and Regular Expression Match Format
asdot	2-byte: 1 to 65535 4-byte: 1.0 to 65535.65535	2-byte: 1 to 65535 4-byte: 1.0 to 65535.65535

Asplain as Default Autonomous System Number Formatting

In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)SY8, 12.0(33)S3, 12.2(33)SRE, 12.2(33)XNE, 12.2(33)SXI1, Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4, and later releases, the Cisco implementation of 4-byte autonomous system numbers uses asplain as the default display format for autonomous system numbers, but you can configure 4-byte autonomous system numbers in both the asplain and asdot format. In addition, the default format for matching 4-byte autonomous system numbers in regular expressions is asplain, so you must ensure that any regular expressions to match 4-byte autonomous system numbers are written in the asplain format. If you want to change the default show command output to display 4-byte autonomous system numbers in the asdot format, use the bgp asnotation dot command under router configuration mode. When the asdot format is enabled as the default, any regular expressions to match 4-byte autonomous system numbers must be written using the asdot format, or the regular expression match will fail. The tables below show that although you can configure 4-byte autonomous system numbers in either asplain or asdot format, only one format is used to display show command output and control 4-byte autonomous system number matching for regular expressions, and the default is asplain format. To display 4-byte autonomous system numbers in show command output and to control matching for regular expressions in the asdot format, you must configure the bgp asnotation dot command. After enabling the bgp asnotation dot command, a hard reset must be initiated for all BGP sessions by entering the clear ip bgp * command.

Note

If you are upgrading to an image that supports 4-byte autonomous system numbers, you can still use 2-byte autonomous system numbers. The show command output and regular expression match are not changed and remain in asplain (decimal value) format for 2-byte autonomous system numbers regardless of the format configured for 4-byte autonomous system numbers.

Format	Configuration Format	Show Command Output and Regular Expression Match Format
asplain	2-byte: 1 to 65535 4-byte: 65536 to 4294967295	2-byte: 1 to 65535 4-byte: 65536 to 4294967295
asdot	2-byte: 1 to 65535 4-byte: 1.0 to 65535.65535	2-byte: 1 to 65535 4-byte: 65536 to 4294967295

Reserved and Private Autonomous System Numbers

In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S12, 12.0(32)SY8, 12.2(33)SRE, 12.2(33)XNE, 12.2(33)SXI1, 12.4(24)T, Cisco IOS XE Release 2.3 and later releases, the Cisco implementation of BGP supports RFC 4893. RFC 4893 was developed to allow BGP to support a gradual transition from 2-byte autonomous system numbers to 4-byte autonomous system numbers. A new reserved (private) autonomous system number, 23456, was created by RFC 4893 and this number cannot be configured as an autonomous system number in the Cisco IOS CLI.

RFC 5398, Autonomous System (AS) Number Reservation for Documentation Use , describes new reserved autonomous system numbers for documentation purposes. Use of the reserved numbers allow configuration examples to be accurately documented and avoids conflict with production networks if these configurations are literally copied. The reserved numbers are documented in the IANA autonomous system number registry. Reserved 2-byte autonomous system numbers are in the contiguous block, 64496 to 64511 and reserved 4-byte autonomous system numbers are from 65536 to 65551 inclusive.

Private 2-byte autonomous system numbers are still valid in the range from 64512 to 65534 with 65535 being reserved for special use. Private autonomous system numbers can be used for internal routing domains but must be translated for traffic that is routed out to the Internet. BGP should not be configured to advertise private autonomous system numbers to external networks. Cisco IOS software does not remove private autonomous system numbers from routing updates by default. We recommend that ISPs filter private autonomous system numbers.

Note

Autonomous system number assignment for public and private networks is governed by the IANA. For information about autonomous-system numbers, including reserved number assignment, or to apply to register an autonomous system number, see the following URL: http://www.iana.org/.

Examples

The following example configures a BGP process for autonomous system 45000 and configures two external BGP neighbors in different autonomous systems using 2-byte autonomous system numbers:

Usage Guidelines

The only global BGP metric available to influence the best path selection is the autonomous system path length. By varying the length of the autonomous system path, a BGP speaker can influence the best path selection by a peer further away.

By allowing you to convert the tag into an autonomous system path, the set as-path tag variation of this command modifies the autonomous system length. The set as-path prepend variation allows you to “prepend” an arbitrary autonomous system path string to BGP routes. Usually the local autonomous system number is prepended multiple times, increasing the autonomous system path length.

In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)SY8, 12.0(33)S3, 12.2(33)SRE, 12.2(33)XNE, 12.2(33)SXI1, Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4, and later releases, the Cisco implementation of 4-byte autonomous system numbers uses asplain--65538 for example--as the default regular expression match and output display format for autonomous system numbers, but you can configure 4-byte autonomous system numbers in both the asplain format and the asdot format as described in RFC 5396. To change the default regular expression match and output display of 4-byte autonomous system numbers to asdot format, use the bgp asnotation dot command followed by the clear ip bgp * command to perform a hard reset of all current BGP sessions.

In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S12, 12.4(24)T, and Cisco IOS XE Release 2.3, the Cisco implementation of 4-byte autonomous system numbers uses asdot--1.2 for example--as the only configuration format, regular expression match, and output display, with no asplain support.

Examples

The following example converts the tag of a redistributed route into an autonomous system path:

route-map set-as-path-from-tag
 set as-path tag
!
router bgp 100
 redistribute ospf 109 route-map set-as-path-from-tag

The following example prepends 100 100 100 to all the routes that are advertised to 10.108.1.1:

route-map set-as-path
 match as-path 1
 set as-path prepend 100 100 100
!
router bgp 100
 neighbor 10.108.1.1 route-map set-as-path out

The following example prepends 65538, 65538, and 65538 to all the routes that are advertised to 192.168.1.2. This example requires Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)SY8, 12.0(33)S3, 12.2(33)SRE, 12.2(33)XNE, 12.2(33)SXI1, Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4, or a later release.

12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

You must have a match clause (even if it points to a “permit everything” list) if you want to set tags.

Use the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route map configuration commands, to define the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria --the conditions under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-mapcommand. The set commands specify the set actions --the particular redistribution actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The no route-map command deletes the route map.

The set route map configuration commands specify the redistribution set actions to be performed when all of the match criteria of a route map are met. When all match criteria are met, all set actions are performed.

Examples

In the following example, routes that pass the autonomous system path access list 1 have the community set to 109. Routes that pass the autonomous system path access list 2 have the community set to no-export (these routes will not be advertised to any external BGP [eBGP] peers).

route-map set_community 10 permit
 match as-path 1
 set community 109
route-map set_community 20 permit
 match as-path 2
 set community no-export

In the following similar example, routes that pass the autonomous system path access list 1 have the community set to 109. Routes that pass the autonomous system path access list 2 have the community set to local-as (the router will not advertise this route to peers outside the local autonomous system.

route-map set_community 10 permit
 match as-path 1
 set community 109
route-map set_community 20 permit
 match as-path 2
 set community local-as

Related Commands

Command	Description
ip community-list	Creates a community list for BGP and control access to it.
match community	Matches a BGP community.
route-map (IP)	Defines the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another, or enables policy routing.
set comm-list delete	Removes communities from the community attribute of an inbound or outbound update.
show ip bgp community	Displays routes that belong to specified BGP communities.

set dampening

To set the BGP route dampening factors, use the set dampening route map configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.

set dampening half-life reuse suppress max-suppress-time

no set dampening

Syntax Description

half-life	Time (in minutes) after which a penalty is decreased. Once the route has been assigned a penalty, the penalty is decreased by half after the half life period (which is 15 minutes by default). The process of reducing the penalty happens every 5 seconds. The range of the half life period is from 1 to 45 minutes. The default is 15 minutes.
reuse	Unsuppresses the route if the penalty for a flapping route decreases enough to fall below this value. The process of unsuppressing routes occurs at 10-second increments. The range of the reuse value is from 1 to 20000; the default is 750.
suppress	Suppresses a route when its penalty exceeds this limit. The range is from 1 to 20000; the default is 2000.
max-suppress-time	Maximum time (in minutes) a route can be suppressed. The range is from 1 to 20000; the default is four times the half-life value. If the half-life value is allowed to default, the maximum suppress time defaults to 60 minutes.

Command Default

This command is disabled by default.

11.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

Use the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria --the conditions under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-mapcommand. The set commands specify the set actions --the particular redistribution actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The no route-map command deletes the route map.

When a BGP peer is reset, the route is withdrawn and the flap statistics cleared. In this instance, the withdrawal does not incur a penalty even though route flap dampening is enabled.

Examples

The following example sets the half life to 30 minutes, the reuse value to 1500, the suppress value to 10000; and the maximum suppress time to 120 minutes:

route-map tag
 match as path 10
 set dampening 30 1500 10000 120
!
router bgp 100

Usage Guidelines

An ellipsis (...) in the command syntax indicates that your command input can include multiple values for the ip-address argument.

Use the ip policy route-map interface configuration command, the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands to define the conditions for policy routing packets. The ip policy route-map command identifies a route map by name. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria --the conditions under which policy routing occurs. The set commands specify the set actions --the particular routing actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met.

If the first next hop specified with the set ip next-hop command is down, the optionally specified IP addresses are tried in turn.

When the set ip next-hop command is used with the peer-address keyword in an inbound route map of a BGP peer, the next hop of the received matching routes will be set to be the neighbor peering address, overriding any third-party next hops. So the same route map can be applied to multiple BGP peers to override third-party next hops.

When the set ip next-hop command is used with the peer-address keyword in an outbound route map of a BGP peer, the next hop of the advertised matching routes will be set to be the peering address of the local router, thus disabling the next hop calculation. The set ip next-hop command has finer granularity than the (per-neighbor) neighbor next-hop-self command, because you can set the next hop for some routes, but not others. The neighbor next-hop-self command sets the next hop for all routes sent to that neighbor.

The set clauses can be used in conjunction with one another. They are evaluated in the following order:

set ip next-hop
set interface
set ip default next-hop
set default interface

Note

To avoid a common configuration error for reflected routes, do not use the set ip next-hop command in a route map to be applied to BGP route reflector clients.

Configuring the set ip next-hop ...ip-address command on a VRF interface allows the next hop to be looked up in a specified VRF address family. In this context, the ...ip-address argument matches that of the specified VRF instance.

Examples

In the following example, three routers are on the same FDDI LAN (with IP addresses 10.1.1.1, 10.1.1.2, and 10.1.1.3). Each is in a different autonomous system. The set ip next-hop peer-address command specifies that traffic from the router (10.1.1.3) in remote autonomous system 300 for the router (10.1.1.1) in remote autonomous system 100 that matches the route map is passed through the router bgp 200, rather than sent directly to the router (10.1.1.1) in autonomous system 100 over their mutual connection to the LAN.

router bgp 200
 neighbor 10.1.1.3 remote-as 300
 neighbor 10.1.1.3 route-map set-peer-address out
 neighbor 10.1.1.1 remote-as 100
route-map set-peer-address permit 10
 set ip next-hop peer-address

12.2(33)SRE	This command was modified. The encapsulate l3vpn keyword was added.

Usage Guidelines

The set ipv6 next-hop command is similar to the set ip next-hop command, except that it is IPv6-specific.

The set commands specify the set actions --the particular routing actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met.

When the set ipv6 next-hop command is used with the peer-address keyword in an inbound route map of a BGP peer, the next hop of the received matching routes will be set to be the neighbor peering address, overriding any third-party next hops. So the same route map can be applied to multiple BGP peers to override third-party next hops.

When the set ipv6 next-hop command is used with the peer-address keyword in an outbound route map of a BGP peer, the next hop of the advertised matching routes will be set to be the peering address of the local router, thus disabling the next hop calculation. The set ipv6 next-hop command has finer granularity than the per-neighbor neighbor next-hop-self command, because you can set the next hop for some routes, but not others. The neighbor next-hop-self command sets the next hop for all routes sent to that neighbor.

The set clauses can be used in conjunction with one another. They are evaluated in the following order:

set ipv6 next-hop
set interface
set ipv6 default next-hop
set default interface

Configuring the set ipv6 next-hop ipv6-address command on a VRF interface allows the next hop to be looked up in a specified VRF address family. In this context, the ipv6-address argument matches that of the specified VRF instance.

Examples

The following example configures the IPv6 multiprotocol BGP peer FE80::250:BFF:FE0E:A471 and sets the route map named nh6 to include the IPv6 next hop global addresses of Fast Ethernet interface 0 of the neighbor in BGP updates. The IPv6 next hop link-local address can be sent to the neighbor by the nh6 route map or from the interface specified by the neighbor update-source router configuration command.

router bgp 170
 neighbor FE80::250:BFF:FE0E:A471 remote-as 150
 neighbor FE80::250:BFF:FE0E:A471 update-source fastether 0
address-family ipv6
  neighbor FE80::250:BFF:FE0E:A471 activate
  neighbor FE80::250:BFF:FE0E:A471 route-map nh6 out
route-map nh6
 set ipv6 next-hop 3FFE:506::1

Note

If you specify only the global IPv6 next hop address (the ipv6-address argument) with the set ipv6 next-hop command after specifying the neighbor interface (the interface-type argument) with the neighbor update-source command, the link-local address of the neighbor interface is included as the next hop in the BGP updates. Therefore, only one route map that sets the global IPv6 next hop address in BGP updates is required for multiple BGP peers that use link-local addresses.

Usage Guidelines

We recommend that you consult your Cisco technical support representative before changing the default value.

Use the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria --the conditions under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-map command. The set commands specify the set actions --the particular redistribution actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The noroute-map command deletes the route map.

The set route-map configuration commands specify the redistribution setactions to be performed when all the match criteria of a route map are met. When all match criteria are met, all set actions are performed.

Examples

The following example sets the metric value for the routing protocol to 100:

route-map set-metric
 set metric 100

Usage Guidelines

You must have a match clause (even if it points to a “permit everything” list) if you want to set the origin of a route. Use this command to set a specific origin when a route is redistributed into BGP. When routes are redistributed, the origin is usually recorded as incomplete, identified with a ? in the BGP table.

Use the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria --the conditions under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-mapcommand. The set commands specify the set actions --the particular redistribution actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The no route-map command deletes the route map.

The set route-map configuration commands specify the redistribution set actions to be performed when all of the match criteria of a route map are met. When all match criteria are met, all set actions are performed.

Examples

The following example sets the origin of routes that pass the route map to IGP:

route-map set_origin
 match as-path 10
 set origin igp

no set weight number

Syntax Description

number

Weight value. It can be an integer ranging from 0 to 65535.

Command Default

The weight is not changed by the specified route map.

12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

The implemented weight is based on the first matched autonomous system path. Weights indicated when an autonomous system path is matched override the weights assigned by global neighbor commands. In other words, the weights assigned with the set weight route-map configuration command override the weights assigned using the neighbor weight command.

Examples

The following example sets the BGP weight for the routes matching the autonomous system path access list to 200:

route-map set-weight
 match as-path 10
 set weight 200
