BGP Commands on Cisco IOS XR Software
This chapter describes the commands used to configure and monitor Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for IP Version 4 (IPv4), IP Version 6 (IPv6), Virtual Private Network Version 4 (VPNv4), Virtual Private Network Version 6 (VPNv6), and multicast distribution tree (MDT) routing sessions.
For detailed information about BGP concepts, configuration tasks, and examples, see Implementing BGP on Cisco IOS XR Software in Cisco IOS XR Routing Configuration Guide.
address-family (BGP)
To enter various address family configuration modes while configuring Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), use the address-family command in an appropriate configuration mode. To disable support for an address family, use the no form of this command.
address-family {ipv4 unicast | ipv4 multicast | ipv4 labeled-unicast | ipv4 tunnel | ipv4 mdt | ipv6 unicast | ipv6 multicast | ipv6 labeled-unicast | vpnv4 unicast | vpnv6 unicast}
no address-family {ipv4 unicast | ipv4 multicast | ipv4 labeled-unicast | ipv4 tunnel | ipv4 mdt | ipv6 unicast | ipv6 multicast | ipv6 labeled-unicast | vpnv4 unicast | vpnv6 unicast}
Syntax Description
Defaults
An address family must be explicitly configured in the router configuration mode for the address family to be active in BGP. Similarly, an address family must be configured under the neighbor for the BGP session to be established for that address family. An address family must be configured in router configuration mode before it can be configured under a neighbor.
Command Modes

Neighbor configuration
Neighbor group configuration
VRF configuration
VRF neighbor configuration (IPv4 address families)Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
Use the address-family command to enter various address family configuration modes while configuring BGP routing sessions. When you enter the address-family command from router configuration mode, you enable the address family and enter global address family configuration mode.
The IPv4 unicast address family must be configured in router configuration mode before configuring the IPv4 labeled-unicast address family for a neighbor in neighbor configuration mode. The IPv6 unicast address family must be configured in router configuration mode before configuring the IPv6 labeled-unicast address family for a neighbor in neighbor configuration mode. See Table 1.
When you enter the address-family command from neighbor configuration mode, you activate the address family on the neighbor and enter neighbor address family configuration mode.
IPv4 neighbor sessions support IPv4 unicast, multicast, labeled-unicast, and VPNv4 unicast address families. IPv6 neighbor sessions support IPv6 unicast and multicast address families.
Task ID

To set the minimum interval between the sending of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing updates, use the advertisement-interval command in an appropriate configuration mode. To remove the advertisement-interval command from the configuration file and restore the system to its default interval values, use the no form of this command.
advertisement-interval seconds
no advertisement-interval [seconds]
Syntax Description
Defaults
Default minimum interval:
For internal BGP (iBGP) peers is 0 seconds
For external BGP (eBGP) peers is 30 seconds
For customer edge (CE) peers is 0 secondsCommand Modes

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
If this command configures a neighbor group or session group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to set the minimum time between sending BGP routing updates to 10 seconds:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 5RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# neighbor 10.1.1.1RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# remote-as 100RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# advertisement-interval 10Related Commands
Creates a neighbor group and enters neighbor group configuration mode.
Creates a session group and enters session group configuration mode.
af-group
To create an address family group for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) neighbors and enter address family group configuration mode, use the af-group command in router configuration mode. To remove an address family group, use the no form of this command.
af-group af-group-name address-family {ipv4 unicast | ipv4 multicast | ipv4 labeled-unicast | ipv4 tunnel | ipv4 mdt | ipv6 unicast | ipv6 multicast | ipv6 labeled-unicast | vpnv4 unicast | vpnv6 unicast}

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
Use the af-group command to group address family-specific neighbor commands within an IPv4 or IPv6 address family. Neighbors that have address family configuration are able to use the address family group. Further, neighbors inherit the configuration parameters of the entire address family group.
You cannot define two address family groups with the same name in different address families.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to create address family group group1 and enter address family group configuration mode for IPv4 unicast. Group1 contains the next-hop-self feature, which is inherited by neighbors that use address family group1.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 100RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# af-group group1 address-family ipv4 unicastRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-afgrp)# next-hop-selfRelated Commands
aggregate-address
To create an aggregate entry in a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing table, use the aggregate-address command in an appropriate configuration mode. To remove the aggregate-address command from the configuration file and restore the system to its default condition, use the no form of this command.
aggregate-address address/mask-length [as-set] [as-confed-set] [summary-only] [route-policy route-policy-name]
no aggregate-address address/mask-length [as-set] [as-confed-set] [summary-only] [route-policy route-policy-name]
Syntax Description
Defaults
When you do not specify this command, no aggregate entry is created in the BGP routing table.
Command Modes
IPv4 address family configuration
IPv6 address family configuration
VRF IPv4 address family configuration
VRF IPv6 address family configurationCommand History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
You can implement aggregate routing in BGP either by redistributing an aggregate route into BGP using the network command or the aggregate-address command.
Use the aggregate-address command without optional arguments to create an aggregate entry in the BGP routing table if any more-specific BGP routes are available that fall in the specified range. The aggregate route is advertised as coming from your autonomous system and has the atomic aggregate attribute set to show that information might be missing. (By default, the atomic aggregate attribute is set unless you specify the as-set keyword.)
Use of the as-set keyword creates an aggregate entry using the same rules that the command follows without this keyword. However, the advertised path for this route is an AS_SET, a set of all autonomous systems contained in all paths that are being summarized.
Do not use this form of the aggregate-address command when aggregating many paths because this route must be continually withdrawn and updated as autonomous system path reachability information for the summarized routes changes.
Use the as-confed-set keyword to create an AS_CONFED_SET in the autonomous system path of the aggregate from any confederation segments in the paths being summarized. This keyword takes effect only if the as-set keyword is also specified.
Use of the summary-only keyword creates an aggregate entry (for example, 10.0.0.0/8) but suppresses advertisements of more-specific routes to all neighbors. If you want to suppress only advertisements to certain neighbors, use the route-policy (BGP) command in neighbor address family configuration mode with caution. If a more-specific route leaks out, all BGP speakers (the local router) prefer that route over the less-specific aggregate you generate (using longest-match routing).
Use the route-policy keyword to specify a routing policy for the aggregate entry. The route-policy keyword is used to select which more-specific information to base the aggregate entry on and which more-specific information to suppress. You can also use the keyword to modify the attributes of the aggregate entry.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to create an aggregate address. The path advertised for this route is an autonomous system set consisting of all elements contained in all paths that are being summarized.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 100RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# address-family ipv4 unicastRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-af)#aggregate-address 10.0.0.0/8 as-setRelated Commands
allocate-label
To allocate Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) labels for specific IPv4 unicast or VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) IPv4 unicast routes so that the BGP router can send labels with BGP routes to a neighboring router configured for labeled-unicast sessions, use the allocate-label command in the appropriate configuration mode. To restore the system to its default condition, use the no form of this command.
allocate-label {route-policy route-policy-name | all}
no allocate-label {route-policy route-policy-name | all}
Syntax Description
Defaults
No default behavior or values
Command Modes
IPv4 address family configuration
IPv6 address family configuration
VRF IPv4 address family configuration
VRF IPv6 address family configurationCommand History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
Use the allocate-label command with a route policy to trigger BGP to allocate labels for all or a filtered set of global IPv4 routes (as dictated by the route policy). The command enables autonomous system border routers (ASBRs) that have labeled IPv4 unicast sessions to exchange Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) labels with the IPv4 routes to the other autonomous system (AS) in Layer 3 Virtual Private Network (L3VPN) inter-AS deployments.
Note
The allocate-label all command is functionally equivalent to the allocate-label route-policy route-policy-name command when the route policy is a pass-all policy.
See Cisco IOS XR Multiprotocol Label Switching Configuration Guide for information on using the allocate-label command for L3VPN inter-AS deployments and carrier-supporting-carrier IPv4 BGP label distribution.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to enable allocating labels for IPv4 routes:
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 6RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# address family ipv4 unicastRP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-af)# allocate-label route-policy policy_Aallowas-in
To allow an AS path with the provider edge (PE) autonomous system number (ASN) a specified number of times, use the allowas-in command in an appropriate configuration mode. To restore the system to its default condition, use the no form of this command.
allowas-in [as-occurrence-number]
no allowas-in [as-occurrence-number]
Syntax Description
Defaults
No default behavior or values
Command Modes
Address family group configuration
Neighbor address family configurationCommand History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
Hub and spoke VPN networks require looping back of routing information to the hub PE through the hub customer edge (CE). See Cisco IOS XR Multiprotocol Label Switching Configuration Guide for information on hub and spoke VPN networks. This looping back, in addition to the presence of the PE ASN, causes the looped-back information to be dropped by the hub PE.
The allowas-in command prevents the looped-back information from being dropped by replacing the neighbor autonomous system number (ASN) with the PE ASN in the AS path. This allows the VPN customer to see a specified number of occurrences of the PE ASN in the AS path.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to allow five occurrences of the PE ASN:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 6RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# af-group group_1 address-family vpnv4 unicastRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-afgrp)# allowas-in 5as-override
To configure a provider edge (PE) router to override the autonomous system number (ASN) of a site with the ASN of a provider, use the as-override command in VRF neighbor address family configuration mode. To restore the system to its default condition, use the no form of this command.
as-override [disable]
no as-override [disable]
Syntax Description
Defaults
Automatic override of the ASN is disabled.
Command Modes
VRF neighbor address family configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
Use the as-override command in conjunction with the site-of-origin (SoO) feature, identifying the site where a route originated, and preventing routing loops between routers within a VPN.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to configure an ASN override:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 6RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# vrf vrf_ARP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-vrf)# neighbor 192.168.70.24RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-vrf-nbr)# remote-as 10RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-vrf-nbr)# address-family ipv4 unicastRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-vrf-nbr-af)# as-overrideRelated Commands
bfd (BGP)
To specify a bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) multiplier and minimum-interval arguments per neighbor, use the bfd command in neighbor address family independent configuration mode. To return to the system defaults, use the no form of this command.
Previous to this enhancement, BFD could be configured only in global scope in BGP. This change makes available two new command-line arguments under neighbor address family independent configuration:
bfd multiplier (minimum-interval) value
no bfd multiplier (minimum-interval) value
Syntax Description
multiplier value
Specifies the BFD session's multiplier value for the neighbor.
minimum-interval value
Specifies the BFD session's minimum-interval value for the neighbor.
Defaults
No default per neighbor parameters are set.
Command Modes
Neighbor address family independent configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
If the minimum interval is changed using the bfd minimum-interval command, the new parameter updates all affected BFD sessions under the command mode in which the minimum interval was changed.
If the multiplier is changed using the bfd multiplier command, the new parameter is used to update only the BFD sessions associated with the affected neighbor gets affected.
The assumption is that when BFD fast-detect is enabled under neighbor address family independent configuration, the values for the multiplier and minimum-interval values are always derived from the per-neighbor values if they are configured; otherwise, they are to be taken from the global BGP configuration mode. In the event that this has not been explicitly stated, then these values are taken to be the default values. Also, the bfd arguments can be configured under neighbor-group and session-group and the inheritance adheres to the standard way of BGP configuration inheritance.
Accordingly, there are four cases in which bfd-fast detect is enabled.
This is shown in table below where the BFD value is either multiplier or minimum-interval. Local indicates per NBR value, global is the BGP global value.

When BGP attribute download is enabled using the bgp attribute-download command, BGP reinstalls all routes whose attributes are not currently in the RIB. Likewise, if the user disables BGP attribute download using the no form of the command, BGP reinstalls previously installed routes with a null key, and removes the attributes from the RIB.
Use the bgp attribute-download command to enable the Netflow BGP data export function. When attribute download is enabled, BGP downloads the attribute information for prefixes (community, extended community, and as-path) to the Routing Information Base (RIB) and Forwarding Information Base (FIB). This enables FIB to associate the prefixes with attributes and send the Netflow statistics along with the associated attributes.

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
The MED is one of the parameters that is considered by the software when selecting the best path among many alternative paths. The software chooses the path with the lowest MED.
By default, during the best-path selection process, the software makes a MED comparison only among paths from the same autonomous system. This command changes the default behavior of the software by allowing comparison of MEDs among paths regardless of the autonomous system from which the paths are received.
When the bgp bestpath med always command is not enabled and distributed BGP is configured, speakers calculate partial best paths only (executes the best-path steps up to the MED comparison) and send them to BGP Routing Information Base (bRIB). bRIB calculates the final best path (executes all the steps in the best-path calculation). When the bgp bestpath med always command is enabled and distributed BGP is configured, speakers can compare the MED across all ASs, allowing the speaker to calculate a single best path to send it to bRIB. bRIB is the ultimate process that calculates the final best path, but when the bgp bestpath med always command is enabled, the speakers send a single best path instead of potentially sending multiple, partial best paths
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) speaker in autonomous system 100 to compare MEDs among alternative paths, regardless of the autonomous system from which the paths are received:

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
By default, the MED of the following paths is not compared with the MED of any other path:
•
•
•
•
Use the bgp bestpath med confed command to affect how the following types of paths are treated in the BGP best-path algorithm:
•
•
The MED for paths that start with an AS_SEQUENCE or that start with confederation segments followed by an AS_SEQUENCE only is compared with the MED of other paths that share the same first autonomous system number in the autonomous system sequence (the neighbor autonomous system number). This behavior is not affected by the bgp bestpath med confed command.
As an example, suppose that autonomous systems 65000, 65001, 65002, and 65004 are part of a confederation, but autonomous system 1 is not. Suppose that for a particular route, the following paths exist:
•
•
•
If the bgp bestpath med confed command is enabled, the software selects path 1 as the best path because it:
•
•
The MED is not compared with path 3 because it has an external autonomous system number (that is, an AS_SEQUENCE) in the path. If the bgp bestpath med confed command is not enabled, then MED is not compared between any of these paths. Consequently, the software selects path 2 as the best path because it has the lowest IGP metric.
Task ID
Examples
The following command shows how to enable Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) software to compare MED values for paths learned from confederation peers:

Together, a route reflector and its clients form a cluster. A cluster of clients usually has a single route reflector. In such instances, the cluster is identified by the software as the router ID of the route reflector. To increase redundancy and avoid a single point of failure in the network, a cluster might have more than one route reflector. If it does, all route reflectors in the cluster must be configured with the same 4-byte cluster ID so that a route reflector can recognize updates from route reflectors in the same cluster.
If the cluster has more than one route reflector, use the bgp cluster-id command to configure the cluster ID.

One way to reduce the internal BGP (iBGP) mesh is to divide an autonomous system into multiple autonomous systems and group them into a single confederation. Each autonomous system is fully meshed within itself, and has a few connections to another autonomous system in the same confederation. Although the peers in different autonomous systems have external BGP (eBGP) sessions, they exchange routing information as if they are iBGP peers. Specifically, the confederation maintains the next-hop and local preference information, and that allows you to retain a single Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) for all autonomous systems. To the outside world, the confederation looks like a single autonomous system.
Use the bgp confederation identifier command to specify the autonomous system number for the confederation. This autonomous system number is used when BGP sessions are established with external peers in autonomous systems that are not part of the confederation.

The following example shows how to divide the autonomous system into autonomous systems 4001, 4002, 4003, 4004, 4005, 4006, and 4007 with the confederation identifier 5. Neighbor 10.2.3.4 is a router inside the confederation. Neighbor 172.20.16.6 is outside the routing domain confederation. To the outside world, there appears to be a single autonomous system with the number 5.

Use the bgp graceful-restart command to enable graceful restart functionality on the router, and also to advertise graceful restart to neighboring routers.
Note
When graceful restart is enabled, the BGP graceful restart capability is negotiated with neighbors in the BGP OPEN message when the session is established. If the neighbor also advertises support for graceful restart, then graceful restart is activated for that neighbor session. If the neighbor does not advertise support for graceful restart, then graceful restart is not activated for that neighbor session even though it is enabled locally.
If you enter the bgp graceful-restart command after some BGP sessions are established, you must restart those sessions before graceful restart takes effect. Use the clear bgp command to restart sessions.

Logging of BGP neighbor status changes (up or down) and resets is used for troubleshooting network connectivity problems and measuring network stability. Unexpected neighbor resets might indicate high error rates or high packet loss in the network, and should be investigated.
Status change message logging does not substantially affect performance, unlike, for example, enabling per-BGP update debugging. If the UNIX syslog facility is enabled, messages are sent by the software to the UNIX host running the syslog daemon so that the messages can be stored and archived on disk. If the UNIX syslog facility is not enabled, the status change messages are kept in the internal buffer of the router, and are not stored to disk.
The neighbor status change messages are not tracked if the bgp log neighbor changes disabled command is disabled, except for the last reset reason, which is always available as output of the show bgp neighbors command.
Up and down messages for BGP neighbors are logged by the software by default. Use the bgp log neighbor changes disable command to stop logging BGP neighbor changes.

When BGP is started, it waits a specified period of time for its neighbors to establish peering sessions and to complete sending their initial updates. After all neighbors complete their initial updates, or after the update delay timer expires, the best path is calculated for each route, and the software starts sending advertisements out to its peers. This behavior improves convergence time. If the software were to advertise a route as soon as it learned it, it would have to readvertise the route each time it learned a new path that was preferred over all previously learned paths.
Use the bgp update-delay command to tune the maximum time the software waits after the first neighbor is established until it starts calculating best paths and sending out advertisements.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to set the maximum initial delay to 240 seconds:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 64530RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# bgp update-delay 240bgp write-limit

Use the bgp write-limit command to configure both a per-update group and a global limit on the number of messages the software queues when updating peers. Increasing these limits can result in faster Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) convergence, but also may result in higher memory use during convergence. In addition, this command can be used to enable desynchronization. Desynchronization can decrease memory use and speed up convergence for the fastest neighbors if one or more neighbors in an update group process updates significantly slower than other neighbors in the same group. However, enabling desynchronization can cause a significant degradation in overall convergence time, especially if the router is experiencing high CPU utilization. For this reason, enabling desynchronization is discouraged.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to configure BGP to operate with a per-update group limit of 9000 messages and a global limit of 27,000 messages:

The advertisement of the prefix list ORF capability by a BGP speaker indicates whether the speaker can send prefix lists to the specified neighbor and whether it accepts prefix lists from the neighbor. The speaker sends a prefix list if it indicated the ability to send them, and if the neighbor indicated it was willing to accept them. Similarly, the neighbor sends a prefix list to the speaker if it indicated the ability to send them and the speaker indicated the willingness to accept them.
Note
If the neighbor sends a prefix list and the speaker accepts it, the speaker applies the received prefix list, plus any locally configured outbound filters, to limit its outbound routing updates to the neighbor. Increased filtering prevents unwanted routing updates between neighbors and reduces resource requirements for routing update generation and processing.
Use the capability orf prefix command to set whether to advertise send and receive capabilities to the specified neighbor.
Note
If this command is configured for a neighbor group or neighbor address family group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

If the graceful keyword is specified, the routes from the neighbor are not removed from the BGP table immediately, but are marked as stale. After the session is re-established, any stale route that has not been received again from the neighbor is removed.

Use the clear bgp soft command to trigger a soft reset of the specified address families for the specified group of neighbors. This command is useful if you change the inbound or outbound policy for the neighbors, or any other configuration that affects the sending or receiving of routing updates.
If an outbound soft reset is triggered, BGP resends all routes for the address family to the given neighbors.
If an inbound soft reset is triggered, BGP by default sends a REFRESH request to the neighbor, if the neighbor has advertised the ROUTE_REFRESH capability. To determine whether the neighbor has advertised the ROUTE_REFRESH capability, use the show bgp neighbors command, and look for the following line of output:
Received route refresh capability from peer.If the neighbor does not support route refresh, but the soft-reconfiguration inbound command is configured for the neighbor, then BGP uses the routes cached as a result of the soft-reconfiguration inbound command to perform the soft reset.
If you want BGP to use the cached routes even if the neighbor supports route refresh, you can use the always keyword when configuring the soft-reconfiguration inbound command.
If the neighbor does not support route refresh and the soft-reconfiguration inbound command is not configured, then inbound soft reset is not possible. In this case, an error is printed.

label-allocation-mode
To set the MPLS/VPN label allocation mode, use the label-allocation-mode command in VRF configuration mode. To remove the label-allocation-mode command from the configuration file and restore the system to its default condition, use the no form of this command.
label-allocation-mode per-ce
no label-allocation-mode [per-ce]
Syntax Description
per-ce
Specifies that the same label is used for all the routes advertised from a unique customer edge (CE) peer or router.
Defaults
Per-prefix is the default label allocation mode.
Command Modes
VRF configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
Each prefix that belongs to a VRF instance is advertised with a single label, causing an additional lookup to be performed in the VRF forwarding table to determine the customer edge (CE) next-hop for the packet. Use the label-allocation-mode command with the per-ce keyword to avoid the additional lookup on the PE router and conserve label space. This mode allows the PE router to allocate one label for every immediate next-hop. The label is directly mapped to the next-hop so there is no VRF route lookup performed during data forwarding. However, the number of labels allocated is one for each CE rather than one for each prefix.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to set the label allocation mode to customer edge:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 109RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# vrf vrf-1RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-vrf)# label-allocation-mode per-celocal-as
To allow customization of the autonomous system number for external Border Gateway Protocol (eBGP) neighbor peerings, use the local-as command in an appropriate configuration mode. To disable customization of local autonomous system values for eBGP neighbor peerings, use the no form of this command.
local-as {as-number [no-prepend] | disable}
no local-as [as-number [no-prepend] | disable]
Syntax Description

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
You can specify the autonomous system number the local BGP uses to peer with each neighbor. The autonomous system number specified with this command cannot be the local BGP autonomous system number (specified with the router bgp command) or the autonomous system number of the neighbor (specified with the remote-as command). This command cannot be specified for internal neighbors or for external neighbors in an autonomous system that is part of a confederation.
If this command is configured for a neighbor group or session group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

maximum-paths (BGP)
To control the maximum number of parallel routes that Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) installs in the routing table, use the maximum-paths command in an appropriate configuration mode. To set the maximum number of parallel routes the software installs to the default value, use the no form of this command.
maximum-paths {ebgp | ibgp | eibgp} maximum [unequal-cost]
no maximum-paths {ebgp | ibgp | eibgp} [maximum] [unequal-cost]
Syntax Description
Defaults

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
Use the maximum-paths command to allow the BGP protocol to install multiple paths into the routing table for each prefix. Multiple paths are installed for external peers that are from the same autonomous system and are equal cost (according to the BGP best-path algorithm). Similarly, multiple paths are installed for internal peers that are equal cost based on the BGP best-path algorithm. The IGP metric to the BGP next-hop is the same as the best-path IGP metric unless the router is configured for unequal cost iBGP multipath or eiBGP multipath. See Implementing BGP on Cisco IOS XR Software in the Cisco IOS XR Routing Configuration Guide for information on the BGP best-path algorithm.
Note
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to allow a maximum of four paths to a destination installed into the IPv4 unicast routing table:

Use the maximum-prefix command to configure a maximum number of prefixes that a BGP router is allowed to receive from a neighbor. It adds another mechanism (besides routing policy) to control prefixes received from a peer.
When the number of received prefixes exceeds the maximum number configured, the software terminates the peering, by default, after sending a cease notification to the neighbor. However, if the warning-only keyword is configured, the software writes only a log message, but continues peering with the sender. If the peer is terminated, the peer stays down until the clear bgp command is issued.
This command takes effect immediately if configured on an established neighbor unless the number of prefixes received from the neighbor already exceeds the configured limits.
If this command is configured for a neighbor group or neighbor address family group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

Examples
The following example shows the maximum number of IP Version 4 (IPv4) unicast prefixes allowed from the neighbor at 192.168.40.24 set to 1000:

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
From router configuration mode, you can use this command to enter neighbor configuration mode.
From neighbor configuration mode, you can enter address family configuration for the neighbor by using the address-family command, which allows you to configure routing sessions for IP Version 4 and IP Version 6 address prefixes.
The neighbor command does not cause the neighbor to be configured and does not result in a peering to be established with the neighbor. To create the neighbor, you configure a remote autonomous system number by entering the remote-as command, or the neighbor can inherit a remote autonomous system from a neighbor group or session group if the use command is applied.
Note
Unlike IPv4, IPv6 must be enabled before any IPv6 neighbors can be defined. Enable IPv6 in router configuration mode using the address-family command.
Note
The no form of this command causes the peering with the neighbor to be terminated and all configuration that relates to the neighbor to be removed.

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
The neighbor-group command puts the router in neighbor group configuration mode and creates a neighbor group.
A neighbor group helps you apply the same configuration to one or more neighbors. After a neighbor group is configured, each neighbor can inherit the configuration through the use command. If a neighbor is configured to use a neighbor group, the neighbor, by default, inherits the entire configuration of the neighbor group, which includes the address family-independent and address family-specific configurations. The inherited configuration can be overridden if you directly configure commands for the neighbor or if you configure session groups or address family groups with the use command.
From neighbor group configuration mode, you can configure address family-independent parameters for the neighbor group. To enter address family-specific configuration for the neighbor group, use the address-family command when in the neighbor group configuration mode.
Note
The no form of this command ordinarily causes all configuration for the neighbor group to be removed. If using the no form would result in a neighbor losing its remote autonomous system number, the configuration is rejected. In this scenario, the neighbor configuration must be either removed or configured with a remote autonomous system number before the neighbor group configuration can be removed.
Note

Use the next-hop-self command to set the BGP next-hop attribute of routes being advertised over a peering session to the local source address of the session.
This command is useful in nonmeshed networks in which BGP neighbors may not have direct access to all other neighbors on the same IP subnet.
If this command is configured for a neighbor group or address family group, a neighbor using the group inherits the configuration. Configuring the command specifically for a neighbor overrides any inherited value.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to set the next-hop of the update field for all IP Version 4 (IPv4) unicast routes advertised to neighbor 172.20.1.1 to an address of the local router:

Use the nexthop route-policy command to configure route policy filtering using next-hops.
The BGP next-hop tracking feature allows you to specify that BGP routes are resolved using only next-hops whose routes have the following characteristics:
•
•
This route policy filtering is possible because RIB identifies the source protocol of a route that resolves a next-hop as well as the mask length associated with the route.
The next-hop attach point supports matching using the protocol name and mask length. BGP marks all next-hops that are rejected by the route policy as invalid, and no best path is calculated for the routes that use the invalid next-hop. The invalid next-hops continue to stay in the active cache and can be displayed as part of the show bgp nexthop command with an invalid status.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to specify the route policy nexthop_A as the policy to use for filtering next-hops:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 109RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# address-family ipv4 unicastRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-af)# nexthop route-policy nexthop_ARelated Commands

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
Use the nexthop trigger-delay command to allow for a dynamic way for Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) to converge. This convergence allows BGP to accumulate all notifications and trigger fewer walks, resulting in fewer interprocess communications (IPCs) to the Routing Information Base (RIB) for route addition, deletion, and modification and fewer updates to peers.
Note
The non-critical delay value must always be set to at least equal or greater than the critical delay value.
The delay should be slightly higher than the time it takes for the IGP to settle into a steady state after some event (IGP convergence time).
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to set the critical next-hop trigger delay to 3500 milliseconds:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 109RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# address-family ipv4 unicastRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-af)# nexthop trigger-delay critical 3500orf

Syntax Descriptionr
Defaults
When this command is not specified in the appropriate configuration mode, MD5 authentication is not enabled on a TCP connection between two BGP neighbors.
Command Modes

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
Configure a password to enable authentication between two BGP peers. Use the password command to verify each segment sent on the TCP connection between the peers. The same password must be configured on both networking devices, otherwise a connection cannot be made. The authentication feature uses the MD5 algorithm. Specifying this command causes the software to generate and check the MD5 digest on every segment sent on the TCP connection.
Configuring a neighbor password does not cause the existing session for a neighbor to end. However, until the new password is configured on the remote router, the local BGP process does not receive keepalive messages from the remote device. If the password is not updated on the remote device by the end of the hold time, the session ends. The hold time can be changed using the timers command or the timers bgp command.
If this command is configured for a neighbor group or neighbor address family group, a neighbor using the group inherits the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor overrides inherited values.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to configure neighbor 172.20.1.1 to use MD5 authentication with the password password1:

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
If you specify a password on a neighbor group or session group, all users of the group inherit the password. Specifying a different password command specifically on a neighbor that uses the group overrides the inherited value. Specifying password-disable on a neighbor that uses the group disables password authentication for the neighbor.

Use the receive-buffer-size command to increase the buffer size when receiving updates from a neighbor. Using larger buffers can improve convergence time because it allows the software to process a larger number of packets simultaneously. However, allocating larger buffers consumes more memory on the router.
Note
If this command is configured for a neighbor group or session group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
Use the remote-as command to create a neighbor and assign it a remote autonomous system number. A neighbor must have a remote autonomous system number before any other commands can be configured for it. Removing the remote autonomous system from a neighbor causes the neighbor to be deleted. You cannot remove the autonomous system number if the neighbor has other configuration.
Note
A neighbor specified with a remote autonomous system number that matches the autonomous system number specified in the router bgp command identifies the neighbor as internal to the local autonomous system. Otherwise, the neighbor is considered external.
Configuration of the remote-as command for a neighbor group or session group using the neighbor-group command or session-group command causes all neighbors using the group to inherit the characteristics configured with the command. Configuring the command directly for the neighbor overrides the value inherited from the group.
In the neighbor configuration submode, configuring use of a session group or neighbor group for which remote-as is configured creates a neighbor and assigns it an autonomous system number if the neighbor has not already been created.
Note

This feature is available for external BGP (eBGP) neighbors only.
When an update is passed to the external neighbor, the software drops any leading autonomous system sequence in the autonomous system path if the sequence contains only private autonomous system numbers and does not contain the autonomous system number of the neighbor.
If this command is used in a BGP confederation, the element following the confederation portion of the autonomous system path, if a sequence, is considered the leading sequence.
The private autonomous system values range from 64512 to 65535.
If this command is configured for a neighbor group or address family group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

Use the retain route-target command to configure a route reflector (RR) to retain routes tagged with specific route targets (RT).
A provider edge (PE) router is not required to hold all VPNv4 routes. The PE router holds only routes that match the import RT of the VPNs configured on it, but a RR must retain all VPNv4 routes because it may peer with PE routers and different PEs may require different RT-tagged VPNv4 routes. Configuring an RR to hold only routes that have a defined set of RT communities and configuring some of these RRs to service a different set of VPNs provides scalability to the RRs. A PE can be configured to peer with all RRs that service the VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instances configured on the PE. When a new VRF is configured with an RT for which the PE does not already hold routes, the PE issues route refresh requests to the RRs and gets the relevant VPN routes.
The route-policy route-policy-name keyword and argument takes the policy name that lists the extended communities that a path should have for the RR to retain the path.

This command is restricted to internal BGP (iBGP) neighbors only.
Use the route-reflector-client command to configure the local router as the route reflector and the specified neighbor as one of its clients. All neighbors configured with this command are members of the client group, and the remaining iBGP peers are members of the nonclient group for the local route reflector.
By default, all iBGP speakers in an autonomous system must be fully meshed with each other, and neighbors do not readvertise iBGP learned routes to other iBGP neighbors.
With route reflection, all iBGP speakers need not be fully meshed. An iBGP speaker, the route reflector, passes learned iBGP routes to some number of iBGP client neighbors. Learned iBGP routes eliminate the need for each router running BGP to communicate with every other device running BGP in the autonomous system.
The local router is a route reflector as long as it has at least one route reflector client.
If this command is configured for a neighbor group or neighbor address family group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

session-group
To create a session group and enter session group configuration mode, use the session-group command in router configuration mode. To remove a session group and delete all configurations associated with it, use the no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
Use the session-group command to create a session group from which neighbors can inherit configuration that is address family-independent. That is, session groups cannot have address family-specific configuration. This command enters the session group configuration mode in which configuration for a session group is entered.
Many commands can be configured in both session group configuration mode and neighbor configuration mode.
Use of session groups saves time and reduces the router configuration size. Because the configuration of a session group can be inherited by any number of neighbors, use of the group can eliminate the need to copy long or complex configurations on each of a large number of neighbors. A neighbor can inherit all configuration from a session group simply by configuring the use command. Specific inherited session group configuration commands can be overridden for a specific neighbor by explicitly configuring the command for the specific neighbor.
The no form of this command causes all of the configuration for the session group to be removed. You cannot use the no form of this command if removing the group would leave one or more neighbors without a configured remote autonomous system number.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows a session group called group1 that is used by two neighbors, 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2. Because group1 is a session group, it contains only address family-independent configuration. And because group1 is used by neighbors 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2, they inherit the configuration of the group.

Because group1 is a session group, it contains only address family-independent configuration. And because group1 is used by neighbors 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2, they inherit the configuration of the group. However, the password password1 configuration from group1 is overridden for neighbor 10.0.0.2, using the password-disable command in the neighbor 10.0.0.2 configuration submode.

BGP, by default, tries to initiate an active TCP connection whenever a new neighbor is configured. A remote neighbor may also initiate the TCP connection before the local BGP can initiate the connection. This initiation of a TCP connection by a remote neighbor is considered a passive-open request and it is accepted by the local BGP. This default behavior can be modified using the session-open-mode command.
Note
Use the session-open-mode command when it may be necessary to preconfigure a neighbor that does not exist. Ensure that BGP does not spend any time actively trying to set up a TCP session with the neighbor. A BGP session does not come up between two neighbors, both of which configure the same non default value (active-only or passive-only keyword) for this command.

The address family and subaddress family options specify the routing table to be examined. If the all keyword is specified for the address family or subaddress family, each matching routing table is examined in turn.
Use the show bgp convergence command to see if there is any pending work for BGP to perform. The software checks the following conditions to determine whether the specified address family has converged. If all the conditions are true, the address family is considered converged.
•
•
•
While testing that all selected routes have been advertised to peers, the show bgp convergence command checks the size of the write queue for each neighbor. Because this queue is shared by all address families, there is a small possibility that the command indicates the address family has not converged when, in fact, it has converged. This could happen if the neighbor write queue contained messages from some other address family.
If the specified address family has not converged, the show bgp convergence command output does not indicate the amount of work that is pending. To display this information, use the show bgp summary command.

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
Note
BGP contains a separate routing table for each configured address family and subaddress family combination. The address family and subaddress family options specify which routing table should be examined. If the all keyword is specified for address family or subaddress family, each matching routing table is examined in turn.
Use the show bgp neighbors command to display detailed information about all neighbors or a specific neighbor. Use the performance-statistics keyword to display information about the work related to specific neighbors done by the BGP process.
Use the show bgp neighbors command with the ip-address received prefix-filter argument and keyword to display the Outbound Route Filter (ORF) received from a neighbor.
Use the advertised-routes keyword to display a summary of the routes advertised to the specified neighbor.
Use the dampened-routes keyword to display routes received from the specified neighbor that have been suppressed due to dampening. For more details, see the show bgp dampened-paths command.
To display information about flapping routes received from a neighbor, use the flap-statistics keyword. For more details, see the show bgp flap-statistics command.
To display the routes received from a neighbor, use the routes keyword. For more details, see the show bgp command.
Use the show bgp neighbor command with the ip-address configuration argument and keyword to display the effective configuration of a neighbor, including configuration inherited from session groups, neighbor groups, or af-groups through application of the use command. Use the defaults keyword to display the value of all configurations for the neighbor, including default configuration. Use the nvgen keyword to display configuration output format of the show running-config command. Output in this format is suitable for cutting and pasting into a configuration session. Use the show bgp neighbors command with the ip-address inheritance argument and keyword to display the session groups, neighbor groups, and af-groups from which the specified neighbor inherits configuration.

The show bgp nexthops command displays statistical information about next-hop notifications, the time spent processing the notifications, and details about each next-hop that has been registered with the Routing Information Base (RIB).
Use the vrf vrf-name keyword and argument to display only the next-hops present in the specified VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instance.
The next-hop information is displayed for all active speaker processes in distributed mode. Each speaker displays a set of next-hops that belongs to the prefixes received by the speaker and next-hops that belong to best paths that were received by other speaker processes. Use the speaker speaker-id keyword and argument to display information for only the specified speaker process. The distributed mode must be defined using the distributed speaker command for the speaker keyword to be available.

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
Use the show protocols command to get information about the protocols running on the router and to quickly determine which protocols are active. The command is designed to summarize the important characteristics of the running protocol, and command output varies depending on the specific protocol selected. For BGP, the command output lists the protocol ID, peers with elapsed time since last reset, and miscellaneous information, such as external and internal local distances and sourced routes.
Task ID

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
Use the shutdown command to terminate any active session for the specified neighbor and remove all associated routing information. Use of the shutdown command with a neighbor group or session group may suddenly terminate a large number of BGP neighbor sessions because all neighbors using the neighbor group or session group may be affected.
Use the show bgp summary command to display a summary of BGP neighbors. Neighbors that are idle due to the shutdown command are displayed with the "Idle (Admin)" state.
If this command is configured for a neighbor group or session group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows that any active session for neighbor 192.168.40.24 is disabled:

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
When routes are advertised to the peer, routes whose extended communities list contain the site of origin (SoO) are filtered out and not advertised to the peer. Site-of-origin uniquely identifies the site from which the provide edge (PE) router learned routes, thus filtering based on the extended community helps prevent transient routing loops from occurring in complex and mixed network topologies.
Task ID

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
To filter or modify some of the updates received from a neighbor, you configure an inbound policy using the route-policy (BGP) command. Configuring soft reconfiguration inbound causes the software to store the original unmodified route beside a route that is modified or filtered. This allows a "soft clear" to be performed after the inbound policy is changed. To perform a soft clear, use the clear bgp soft command with the in keyword specified. The unmodified routes are then passed through the new policy and installed in the BGP table.
Note
Note
If the neighbor supports the route refresh capability, then the original routes are not stored because they can be retrieved from the neighbor through a route refresh request. However, if the always keyword is specified, the original routes are stored even when the neighbor supports the route refresh capability.
If the soft-reconfiguration inbound command is not configured and the neighbor does not support the route refresh capability, then an inbound soft clear is not possible. In that case, the only way to rerun the inbound policy is to use the clear bgp ip-address command to reset the neighbor BGP session.
Note
Note
If you configure this command for a neighbor group or neighbor address family group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows inbound soft reconfiguration enabled for IP Version 4 (IPv4) unicast routes received from neighbor 10.108.1.1. The software stores all routes received in their unmodified form so that when an inbound soft clear is performed later, the stored information can then be used to generate a new set of modified routes.

The timers actually used in connection with the neighbor may not be the same as those configured with this command. The actual timers are negotiated with the neighbor when establishing the session. The negotiated hold time is the minimum of the configured time and the hold time received from the neighbor. If the negotiated hold time is 0, keepalives are disabled.
The configured value for the keepalive must not exceed one-third of the negotiated hold time. If it does, a value of one-third of the negotiated hold time is used.
If this command is configured for a neighbor group or neighbor address family group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
Use the ttl-security command to enable a lightweight security mechanism to protect eBGP peering sessions from CPU utilization-based and other resource exhaustion-based attacks. These types of attacks are typically brute-force Denial of Service (DoS) attacks that attempt to disable the network by flooding devices in the network with IP packets that contain forged source and destination IP addresses in the packet headers.
This command leverages existing behavior in IP packets. For a given IP packet, the TTL count of the packet always is equal to or less than the TTL count when the packet originated, a behavior that is considered impossible to circumvent. Therefore, a packet received with a TTL count equal to the maximum TTL value of 255 can be sent only by a directly adjacent peer. When the ttl-security command is configured for an eBGP neighbor that is directly adjacent, the router accepts only IP packets with a TTL count that is equal to the maximum TTL value.
The ttl-security command secures the eBGP session in the incoming direction only. In the outbound direction, it causes packets to be sent only with the maximum TTL value so that the BGP neighbor can also verify the TTL value of incoming packets. When this command is enabled, BGP establishes or maintains a session only if the TTL value in the IP packet header is equal to the maximum TTL value. If the value is less than the maximum TTL value, the packet is discarded and an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) message is not generated. This behavior is designed because a response to a forged packet is not necessary.

The update-source command is commonly used with the loopback interface feature for iBGP sessions. The loopback interface is defined, and the interface address is used as the endpoint for a BGP session through the update-source command. This mechanism allows a BGP session to remain up even if the outbound interface goes down, provided there is another route to the neighbor.
If this command is configured for a neighbor group or session group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
The use command configures inheritance of configuration from an address family group, neighbor group, or session group, which means that any configuration for the group also takes effect for the user of the group.
The configuration inherited depends on the type of group that is specified. The group types are described in the following sections:
Address Family Group
An address family group can specify a configuration for only a single address family. The address family specified when the address family group was defined (through the af-group command) must match the address family from which the group is used.
Neighbor Group
A neighbor group (like a neighbor) can have address family-independent configuration and address family-specific configuration. All of these configurations could be inherited.
Session Group
A session group can have only address family-independent configuration and thus only address family-independent configuration is inherited from it.
The following rules govern inheritance to resolve possible conflicting configuration:
1.
2.
3.
–
–
Typically, all configuration for a neighbor group is inherited, but some characteristics may be masked by a session group or address family group. For an example of this configuration, see the "Examples" section.
If the neighbor is using both a session group and a neighbor group and a specific command is configured for the neighbor group but not for the session group, then the configuration for the neighbor group does not take effect. The session group "hides" all address family-independent configuration on the neighbor group and prevents it from being inherited. Similarly, the use of an address family group hides any address family-specific configuration that may otherwise be inherited from a neighbor group for that address family.
In addition to neighbors using groups, it is possible to build a hierarchy by having groups use other groups. The following hierarchical groups are permitted:

The following example shows how to define a session group session1 and configure neighbor 172.168.40.24 to use session1. As a result, the session1 configuration takes effect on the neighbor also.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 1RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# session-group session1RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-sngrp)# advertisement-interval 40RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-sngrp)# timers 30 90RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-sngrp)# exitRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# neighbor 172.168.40.24RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# remote-as 2RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# use session-group session1RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# timers 60 180RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# exitThe following example shows an address family group, family1, for IPv4 multicast and a neighbor group, neighbor1, that have IPv4 unicast and IPv4 multicast enabled. In this case, the neighbor inherits IPv4 unicast (and address family-independent) configuration from the neighbor group, but inherits IPv4 multicast configuration from the address family group. In this example, the neighbor group also has a remote autonomous system configured, so there is no need to configure a remote autonomous system for the neighbor because it inherits the remote autonomous system from the neighbor group:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 1RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# af-group family1 address-family ipv4 multicastRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-afgrp)# route-policy mcast-in inRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-afgrp)# exitRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# neighbor-group neighbor1RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp)# remote-as 2RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp)# address-family ipv4 unicastRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp-af)# route-policy policy1 inRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp-af)# route-policy policy1 outRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp-af)# exitRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp)# address-family ipv4 multicastRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp-af)# route-policy policy1 inRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp-af)# route-policy policy1 outRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp-af)# exitRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# neighbor 172.168.40.24RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# use neighbor-group neighbor1RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# address-family ipv4 multicastRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)# use af-group family1RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)# exitIn the previous example, the neighbor uses the policy1 route policy for inbound and outbound IPv4 unicast routes, but uses the mcast-in route policy for inbound IPv4 multicast routes and no policy for outbound IPv4 multicast routes.
The following example shows a neighbor inheriting configuration from a session group that likewise inherits configuration from another session group. The configuration from both session groups take effect on the neighbor:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 1RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# session-group session1RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-sngrp)# advertisement-interval 40RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-sngrp)# exitRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# session-group session2RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-sngrp)# use session-group session1RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-sngrp)# update-source Loopback0RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-sngrp)# exitRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# neighbor 172.168.40.24RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# remote-as 1RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# use session-group session2RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# exitRelated Commands
vrf (BGP)
To configure a VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instance and enter VRF configuration mode, use the vrf command in router configuration mode. To remove the VRF instance from the configuration file and restore the system to its default condition, use the no form of this command.
vrf vrf-name
no vrf vrf-name

Examples
The following example shows how to configure a VRF instance and enter VRF configuration mode:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 1RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# vrf vrf-1RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-vrf)#weight
To assign a weight to routes received from a neighbor, use the weight command in an appropriate configuration mode. To remove the weight command from the configuration file and restore the system to its default condition in which the software assigns the default weight to routes, use the no form of this command.

The weight of a route is a Cisco-specific attribute. It is used in the best-path selection process (as the strongest tie-breaker). See the Implementing BGP on Cisco IOS XR Software module of Cisco IOS XR Routing Configuration Guide for information on best path. If there are two BGP routes with the same network layer reachability information (NLRI), the route with the higher weight is always chosen no matter what the value of other BGP attributes. Weight only has significance on the local router. Weight is assigned locally to the router, is a value that only makes sense to the specific router, is not propagated or carried through any route updates, and never is sent between BGP peers (even within the same AS).
Note
The weight assigned to individual routes can be further manipulated in the inbound route policy of a neighbor using the set weight command. The set weight command sets the weight directly. If you have particular neighbors that you want to prefer for most of your outbound traffic, you can assign a higher weight to all routes learned from that neighbor.
The weight assigned to individual routes may be modified by using an inbound routing policy.
Note
If this command configures a neighbor group or neighbor address family group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.
