Aggregate routes
FTOS provides multiple ways to aggregate routes in the BGP routing table. At least one specific route of
the aggregate must be in the routing table for the configured aggregate to become active.
Use the following command in the CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode to aggregate routes.
AS_SET includes AS_PATH and community information from the routes included in the aggregated route.
In the
show ip bgp command, aggregates contain an ‘a’ in the first column and routes suppressed by the
aggregate contain an ‘s’ in the first column.
Figure 8-30. Command Example: show ip bgp
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
aggregate-address ip-address
mask [
advertise-map map-name]
[
as-set] [attribute-map map-name]
[
summary-only] [suppress-map
map-name]
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP Assign the IP address and mask of the prefix to be
aggregated.
Optional parameters are:
•
advertise-map map-name: set filters for
advertising an aggregate route
• as-set: generate path attribute information and
include it in the aggregate.
•
attribute-map map-name: modify attributes of
the aggregate, except for the AS_PATH and
NEXT_HOP attributes
• summary-only: advertise only the aggregate
address. Specific routes will not be advertised
•
suppress-map map-name: identify which
more-specific routes in the aggregate are suppressed
