neighbor {ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-name} route-map map-name {in | out}
DellEMC# configure terminal
DellEMC(conf)# router bgp 400
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)# neighbor 10.10.10.1 remote-as 500
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)# neighbor 10.10.10.1 route-map route2 in
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)# exit
DellEMC(conf)# route-map route2 permit 10
DellEMC(conf-route-map)# match community 1
DellEMC(conf-route-map)# set community 99
DellEMC(conf-route-map)# exit
DellEMC(conf)# ip community-list 1 permit 100
DellEMC(conf)# exit

In the above example, add a BGP neighbor to the AS 400 and the route-map called route2 applied to inbound routes from the
BGP neighbor at 10.10.10.1. A route map route2 is created with a permit clause and the route’s community attribute is matched
to communities in community list 1. A community list 1 that permits routes with a communities attribute of 100.
To view the BGP configuration, use the show config command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode. To view a route
map configuration, use the show route-map command in EXEC Privilege mode.
To view which BGP routes meet an IP community or IP extended community list’s criteria, use the show ip bgp
{community-list | extcommunity-list} command in EXEC Privilege mode.
Configuring BGP Fast Fall-Over
By default, a BGP session is governed by the hold time.
BGP routers typically carry large routing tables, so frequent session resets are not desirable. The BGP fast fall-over feature
reduces the convergence time while maintaining stability. The connection to a BGP peer is immediately reset if a link to a
directly connected external peer fails.
When you enable fall-over, BGP tracks IP reachability to the peer remote address and the peer local address. Whenever either
address becomes unreachable (for example, no active route exists in the routing table for peer IPv6 destinations/local address),
BGP brings down the session with the peer.
The BGP fast fall-over feature is configured on a per-neighbor or peer-group basis and is disabled by default.
To enable the BGP fast fall-over feature, use the following command.
● Enable BGP fast fall-over.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
neighbor {ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-name} fall-over
To disable fast fall-over, use the [no] neighbor [ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group] fall-over
command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode.
DellEMC# configure terminal
DellEMC(conf)# router bgp 400
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)# neighbor 10.10.10.1 remote-as 500
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)# neighbor 10.10.10.1 fall-over
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)# exit
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)#
To verify that you enabled fast fall-over on a particular BGP neighbor, use the show ip bgp neighbors command. Because
fast fall-over is disabled by default, it appears only if it has been enabled (shown in bold).
