S Commands

This chapter describes the Cisco NX-OS Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) commands that begin with S.

send-community

To send the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) community attribute to a peer, use the send-community command. To revert to the defaults, use the no form of this command.

send-community [ extended ]

no send-community [ extended ]

 
Syntax Description

extended

(Optional) Specifies the BGP extended community.

 
Command Default

No community attributes are sent to the peer.

 
Command Modes

BGP neighbor address-family configuration mode

 
Command History

Release
Modification

6.0(2)N1(1)

This command was introduced.

 
Usage Guidelines

Before you use this command, you must configure BGP communities using the set community command.

This command requires the LAN Enterprise Services license.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the router to send the community attribute to the neighbor 192.168.1.3:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# router bgp 102
switch(config-router)# neighbor 192.168.1.3 remote-as 64497
switch(config-router-neighbor)# address-family ipv4 multicast
switch(config-router-neighbor-af)# send-community
switch(config-router-neighbor-af)#

Command
Description

set community

Defines the BGP community attributes.

show ip bgp

Displays the BGP configuration information.

set as-path

To modify an autonomous system path (as-path) for BGP routes, use the set as-path command. To not modify the autonomous system (AS) path, use the no form of this command.

set as-path { tag | { prepend as-num [ ... as-num ] | last-as num }}

no as-path { tag | { prepend as-num [.. . as-num ] | last-as num }}

 
Syntax Description

tag

Converts the tag of a route into an autonomous system path. Applies only when redistributing routes into Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

prepend as-num

Appends the specified AS number to the autonomous system path of the route that is matched by the route map. Applies to both inbound and outbound BGP route maps. Range: 1 to 65535. You can configure more than on AS number.

last-as num

Prepends the last AS numbers to the as-path. Range: 1 to 10.

 
Command Default

Autonomous system path is not modified.

 
Command Modes

Route-map configuration mode

 
Command History

Release
Modification

6.0(2)N1(1)

This command was introduced.

 
Usage Guidelines

Once you enter route-map configuration mode, you can enter the set command.

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.

Examples

This example shows how to convert the tag of a redistributed route into an autonomous system path:

switch(config)# route-map test1
switch(config-route-map)# set as-path tag
 

This example shows how to prepend 100 to all the routes advertised to 10.108.1.1:

switch(config)# route-map test1
switch(config-route-map)# match as-path 1
switch(config-route-map)# set as-path prepend 100
 
 
switch(config)# router bgp 64496
switch(config-router)# neighbor 10.108.1.1 remote-as 64497
switch(config-router-neighbor)# address-family ipv4 unicast
switch(config-router-neighbor-af)# route-map set-as-path test1 out

Command Default

No communities are removed.

 
Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

6.0(2)N1(1)

This command was introduced.

 
Usage Guidelines

This set route-map configuration command removes communities from the community attribute of an inbound or outbound update using a route map to filter and determine the communities to be deleted. Depending upon whether the route map is applied to the inbound or outbound update for a neighbor, each community that passes the route map permit clause and matches the given community list is removed from the community attribute being received from or sent to the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) neighbor.

Each entry of a standard community list should list only one community when used with the set comm-list delete command. For example, in order to be able to delete communities 10:10 and 10:20, you must use the following format to create the entries:

switch(config)# ip community-list 500 permit 10:10
switch(config)# ip community-list 500 permit 10:20
 

The following format for a community list entry, while acceptable otherwise, does not work with the set comm-list delete command:

switch(config)# ip community-list 500 permit 10:10 10:20
 

When both the set community community-number and set comm-lis t delete commands are configured in the same sequence of a route map attribute, the deletion operation ( set comm-list delete) is performed before the set operation ( set community community-number).

Examples

This example shows how to remove communities from the community attribute of an inbound or outbound update:

switch(config)# route-map test1
switch(config-route-map)# match as-path 1
switch(config-route-map)# set comm-list list1 delete

Command History

Release
Modification

6.0(2)N1(1)

This command was introduced.

 
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-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 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

This example shows how to configure the routes that pass the autonomous system path access list 1 to have the community set to 109:02 and 33:40. Routes that pass the autonomous system path access list 2 have the community set to no-export (these routes are not advertised to any external BGP [eBGP] peers).

switch(config)# route-map test1 10 permit
switch(config-route-map)# match as-path 1
switch(config-route-map)# set community 109:02 33:40
switch(config-route-map)# exit
switch(config)# route-map test1 20 permit
switch(config-route-map)# match as-path 2
switch(config-route-map)# set community no-export
 

This example shows how to configure the routes that pass the autonomous system path access list 1 to have the community set to 109:30. Routes that pass the autonomous system path access list 2 have the community set to local-as (the router does not advertise this route to peers outside the local autonomous system.

switch(config)# route-map test1 10 permit
switch(config-route-map)# match as-path 1
switch(config-route-map)# set community 109:30 additive
switch(config-route-map)# exit
switch(config)# route-map test1 20 permit
switch(config-route-map)# match as-path 2
switch(config-route-map)# set community local-as

set dampening

To set the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) route dampening factors, use the set dampening 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 occurs every 5 seconds. The range is from 1 to 45, and the default is 15.

reuse

Route that is unsuppressed if the penalty for a flapping route decreases enough to fall below this value. The process of unsuppressing routes occurs at 10-second increments. Range: 1 to 20000. Default: 750.

suppress

Route that is suppressed when its penalty exceeds this limit. The range is from 1 to 20000, and the default is 2000.

max-suppress-time

Maximum time (in minutes) that a route can be suppressed. The range is from 1 to 255, and the default is four times the half-life value. If the default half-life value is used, the maximum suppress time defaults to 60 minutes.

 
Command Default

Modification

6.0(2)N1(1)

This command was introduced.

 
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-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 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

This 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:

switch(config)# route-map test1 10 permit
switch(config-route-map)# set dampening 30 1500 10000 120

This command was introduced.

 
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-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 no route-map command deletes the route map.

The set route-map configuration commands specify the redistribution set actions 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

This example shows how to set the tag value of the destination routing protocol to 5:

switch(config)# route-map test
switch(config-route-map)# set tag 5

6.0(2)N1(1)

This command was introduced.

 
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.

Examples

This example shows how to set the BGP weight for the routes that match the autonomous system path access list to 200:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# route-map set-weight
switch(config-route-map)# match as-path 10
switch(config-route-map)# set weight 200
switch(config-route-map)#

This example shows how to disable BGP 64496:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# router bgp 64496
switch(config-router)# shutdown
switch(config-router)#

Modification

6.0(2)N1(1)

This command was introduced.

 
Usage Guidelines

Entering this command starts the storage of updates, which is required to do inbound soft reconfiguration.

To use soft reconfiguration, or soft reset, without preconfiguration, both BGP peers must support the soft route refresh capability.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the soft reconfiguration on the neighbor at 192.168.0.1:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# router bgp 102
switch(config-router)# neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 201
switch(config-router-neighbor)# address-family ipv4 unicast
switch(config-router-neighbor-af)# soft-reconfiguration inbound
switch(config-router-neighbor-af)#
