Controlling route advertisement and reception

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure this task, configure MBGP basic functions.

Configuring MBGP route redistribution

MBGP can advertise routing information in the local AS to neighboring ASs. It redistributes such routing
information from IGP into its routing table rather than learning the information by itself.
Follow these steps to configure MBGP route redistribution:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter BGP view
Enter IPv4 MBGP address family
view
Enable route redistribution from
another routing protocol
Inject a network into the MBGP
routing table
NOTE:
The Origin attribute of routes redistributed into the MBGP routing table through the import-route
command is Incomplete.
The Origin attribute of routes injected into the MBGP routing table through the network command is
IGP.
The networks to be injected must exist in the local IP routing table, and using a routing policy makes
route control more flexible.

Configure default route redistribution into MBGP

You cannot use the import-route command to redistribute a default route into MBGP. This task allows
you to do so.
Follow these steps to configure MBGP to redistribute a default route from another protocol:
Use the command...
peer { group-name | ip-address }
preferred-value value
Use the command...
system-view
bgp as-number
ipv4-family multicast
import-route protocol [ { process-
id | all-processes } [ allow-direct |
med med-value | route-policy
route-policy-name ] * ]
network ip-address [ mask | mask-
length ] [ short-cut | route-policy
route-policy-name ]
222
Remarks
Optional
The default preferred value is 0.
Remarks
—
—
—
At least one of these approaches
is required.
No route redistribution is
configured by default.
Currently, the allow-direct
keyword is available only when
the specified routing protocol is
OSPF.
