Redistribute BGP routes and AS path information

Updated: February 6, 2026

Overview

This topic details the synchronization of routing data between BGP and other protocols to ensure comprehensive network visibility.

By default, routes from other routing protocols are not redistributed into BGP. It can be useful for BGP to learn OMP routes, because OMP learns routes to destinations throughout the overlay network. BGP on the Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN devices, then advertises the OMP routes to all the BGP routers in the service-side of the network.

You can control redistribution of routes on a per-neighbor basis:

You can configure the SD-WAN Controller to advertise BGP routes that it has learned, through OMP, from the SD-WAN Controller. Doing so allows the SD-WAN Controller to advertise these routes to other Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN devices in the overlay network. You can advertise BGP routes either globally or for a specific :
