Use route maps to redistribute routes or to subject packets to policy routing. Both purposes are described in this section.

Redistribution

The redistribute router configuration command uses the map-tag name to reference the route map. Multiple route maps may share the same map tag name.

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 match route-map configuration command has multiple formats. The match commands can be given in any order, and all match commands must "pass" to cause the route to be redistributed according to the set actions given with the set commands. The no forms of the match commands remove the specified match criteria.

Use route maps when you want detailed control over how routes are redistributed between routing processes. The destination routing protocol is the one you specify with the router global configuration command. The source routing protocol is the one you specify with the redistribute router configuration command. See the "Examples" section for an illustration of how route maps are configured.

When you are passing routes through a route map, a route map can have several parts. Any route that does not match at least one match clause relating to a route-map command will be ignored; that is, the route will not be advertised for outbound route maps and will not be accepted for inbound route maps. If you want to modify only some data, you must configure a second route map section with an explicit match specified.

Policy Routing

Use the ip policy route-map command, in addition to the route-map command, and the match and set commands to define the conditions for policy routing packets. The match commands specify the conditions under which policy routing occurs. The set commands specify the routing actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. You might want to policy route packets some way other than the obvious shortest path.

The guidelines for the sequence-number argument are as follows:

1. If no entry is defined with the supplied tag, an entry is created with the sequence-number argument set to 10.

2. If only one entry is defined with the supplied tag, that entry becomes the default entry for the following route-map command. The sequence-number argument of this entry is unchanged.

3. If more than one entry is defined with the supplied tag, an error message is printed to indicate that the sequence-number argument is required.

If the no route-map map-tag command is specified (with no sequence-number argument), the whole route map is deleted.

Examples

The following example redistributes Routing Information Protocol (RIP) routes with a hop count equal to 1 into Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). These routes will be redistributed into OSPF as external link-state advertisements (LSAs) with a metric type of Type 1, and a tag equal to 1.

switch(config)# router ospf 109

switch(config-route-map)# redistribute rip route-map rip-to-ospf

switch(config-route-map)# route-map rip-to-ospf permit

switch(config-route-map)# set metric 5

switch(config-route-map)# set metric-type type1

switch(config-route-map)# set tag 1 

The following example for IPv6 redistributes Routing Information Protocol (RIP) routes with a hop count equal to 1 into Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). These routes will be redistributed into OSPF as external link-state advertisements (LSAs) with a tag equal to 42 and a metric type equal to type1.

switch(config)# router 1

switch(config-route-map)# redistribute rip one route-map ripng-to-ospfv3

switch(config)# route-map ripng-to-ospfv3

switch(config-route-map)# match tag 42

switch(config-route-map)# set metric-type type1

The following example sets the autonomous system path to match BGP autonomous system path access list 20:

switch(config)# route-map IGP2BGP

switch(config-route-map)# match as-path 20

The following example shows that the routes matching community list 1 will have the weight set to 100. Any route that has community 109 will have the weight set to 100.

switch(config)# ip community-list 1 permit 109

switch(config)# route-map set_weight

switch(config-route-map)#  match community 1

switch(config-route-map)# set weight 100

The following example shows that the routes matching community list 1 will have the weight set to 200. Any route that has community 109 alone will have the weight set to 200.

switch(config)# ip community-list 1 permit 109

switch(config)# route-map set_weight

switch(config-route-map)# match community 1 exact

switch(config-route-map)# set weight 200

In the following example, the routes that match community list LIST_NAME will have the weight set to 100. Any route that has community 101 alone will have the weight set to 100.

switch(config)# ip community-list 1 permit 101

switch(config)# route-map set_weight

switch(config-route-map)# match community LIST_NAME 

switch(config-route-map)# set weight 100

router bgp as-num[.as-num]

no router bgp as-num[.as-num]

Syntax Description

as-num	Number of an autonomous system that identifies the router to other BGP routers and tags the routing information passed along; valid values are from 1 to 65535.
.as-num	(Optional) Number of an autonomous system that identifies the router to other BGP routers and tags the routing information passed along; valid values are from 0 to 65535.

Defaults

No BGP routing process is enabled by default.

Command Modes

Address-family configuration
Neighbor address-family configuration
Router BGP configuration

Supported User Roles

network-admin
vdc-admin

Usage Guidelines

The as-num is the number for the local BGP speaker and allows you to create a unique identifier for the BGP process on the router.

Once you enter the router BGP configuration mode, the following parameters are available:

•address-family—Configures an address-family (router, neighbor, vrf). See the address-family (BGP) command for information.

•bestpath—Changes the default bestpath selection algorithm. See the bestpath command for information.

•cluster-id {cluster-id | cluster-ip-addr}—Configures the Route Reflector Cluster-ID (router, vrf). Range: 1 to 4294967295. You can enter the cluster identification as a 32-bit quantity or as an IP address. To remove the cluster ID, use the no form of this command.

•confederation {identifier as-num[.as-num] | peer as-num[.as-num]}—Configures the AS confederation parameters as the routing domain confederation AS or the peer AS in the BGP confederation. To remove the confederation identifier, use the no form of this command.

The confederation command is used to configure a single autonomous system number to identify a group of smaller autonomous systems as a single confederation.You can use a confederation to divide a large single autonomous system into multiple subautonomous systems and then group them into a single confederation. The subautonomous systems within the confederation exchange routing information. External peers interact with the confederation as if it is a single autonomous system.

Each subautonomous system is fully meshed within itself and has a few connections to other autonomous systems within the confederation. Next hop, Multi Exit Discriminator (MED), and local preference information is preserved throughout the confederation, allowing you enables to you to retain a single Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) for all the autonomous systems.

•enforce-first-as—Forces BGP to compare an external peer's configured AS number with the first AS in the AS-PATH of the routes received from the peer. In case of mismatch of AS numbers, the peer is sent an error code update notification message. To disable, use the no form of this command.

•exit—Exits from the current command mode.

•fast-external-fallover—Configures a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing process to immediately reset external BGP peering sessions if the link used to reach these peers goes down. To disable BGP fast external fallover, use the no form of this command.

The fast-external-fallover command is used to disable or enable fast external fallover for BGP peering sessions with directly connected external peers. The session is immediately reset if link goes down. Only directly connected peering sessions are supported.

If BGP fast external fallover is disabled, the BGP routing process will wait until the default hold timer expires (three keepalives) to reset the peering session.

•graceful-restart—Configures the Graceful Restart functionality (router, vrf). See the graceful-restart (BGP) command for additional information.

•graceful-restart-helper—Configures the Graceful Restart Helper mode functionality (router, vrf). See the graceful-restart (BGP) command for additional information.

•log-neighbor-changes—Enables logging of the BGP neighbor resets. To disable the logging of changes in BGP neighbor adjacencies, use the no form of this command. The log-neighbor-changes command enables logging of BGP neighbor status changes (up or down) and resets 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.

Using the log-neighbor-changes command to enable status change message logging does not cause a substantial performance impact, unlike, for example, enabling per BGP update debugging. If the UNIX syslog facility is enabled, messages are sent to the UNIX host running the syslog daemon so that the messages can be stored and archived. If the UNIX syslog facility is not enabled, the status change messages are retained in the internal buffer of the router, and are not stored to disk. You can set the size of this buffer, which is dependent upon the available RAM, using the logging buffered command.

The neighbor status change messages are not tracked if the bgp log-neighbor-changes command is not enabled, except for the reset reason, which is always available as output of the show ip bgp neighbors and show bgp ipv6 neighbors commands.

The eigrp log-neighbor-changes command enables logging of Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) neighbor adjacencies, but messages for BGP neighbors are logged only if they are specifically enabled with the bgp log-neighbor-changes command.

Use the show logging command to display the log for the BGP neighbor changes.

•neighbor—Configures a BGP neighbor (router, vrf). See the neighbor command for additional information.

•no—Negates a command or set its defaults.

•router-id—Specifies the IP address to use as router-id (router, vrf).

•template—Enters the template command mode. See the neighbor command for additional information.

•timers—Configure the BGP-related timers (router, vrf).

–bestpath-limit interval—Configures timeout for first bestpath after restart in seconds. Range: 1 to 3600. Default: 300.

–bgp interval—Configures the different BGP keepalive and holdtimes in seconds. Range: 0 to 3600. Default: 60.

–prefix-peer-timeout interval—Configures how long state for a prefix peer is maintained in seconds. Range: 0 to 1200. Default: 300:

•vrf—Configures the virtual router context.

–vrf-name—Specifies the VRF name.

–management—Specifies the configurable VRF name.

Examples

The following example configures a BGP process for autonomous system 120:

switch(config)# router bgp 120

switch(config-router)# 

The following example logs neighbor changes for BGP in router configuration mode:

switch(config# bgp router 40000 

switch(config-router)# log-neighbor-changes

In the following example, the BGP fast external fallover feature is disabled. If the link through which this session is carried flaps, the connection will not be reset.

switch(config# bgp router 64496 

switch(config-router)# no fast-external-fallover 

In the following example, all incoming updates from eBGP peers are examined to ensure that the first autonomous system number in the AS_PATH is the local AS number of the transmitting peer. In the follow example, updates from the 10.100.0.1 peer will be discarded if the first AS number is not 65001.

switch(config# router bgp 64496 

switch(config-router)# bgp enforce-first-as 

switch(config-router)# address-family ipv4 

switch(config-router-af)# neighbor 10.100.0.1 remote-as 64496
