BGP Aggregate Address Settings

This window is used to view and configure the BGP feature's aggregate address settings. Route
aggregation is a mechanism used to reduce the number of routing entries. Use this window to create an
aggregate entry. The aggregated route will be created in the routing table if there is any more specific
route entry than the aggregated route and the characteristic of the aggregated route is the combined
characteristic of the more specific routes. The aggregated route is sent as coming from the local AS. The
atomic aggregation flag is set to indicate that the AS path information of the more specific route
information might be lost from the aggregated entry.
To view the following window, click L3 Features > BGP > BGP Aggregate Address Settings, as shown
