Limiting Prefixes Received From A Peer Or Peer Group - HPE 5800 Series Configuration Manual

Figure 66 BGP and IGP synchronization in an AS
For this example, if synchronization is enabled, and the route 8.0.0.0/24 received from Router B is
available in its IGP routing table, Router D advertises the IBGP route when the following conditions
are satisfied:
•
The next hop of the route is reachable.
•
An active route with the same destination network segment is available in the IGP routing table
(use the display ip routing-table protocol command to check the IGP route state).
You can disable the synchronization feature in the following situations:
•
The local AS is not a transitive AS (AS 20 is a transitive AS in the above figure).
•
Routers in the local AS are IBGP fully meshed.
To enable BGP and IGP synchronization:
Step
Enter system view.

between BGP and IGP.

Limiting prefixes received from a peer or peer group

This task helps avoid attacks that send a large number of BGP routes to the router.
If the number of routes received from a peer or peer group exceeds the specified value, the router
can take the following actions based on your configuration:
•
Tear down the BGP session to the peer or peer group
•
Display an alarm message, instead of tearing down the BGP session to the peer or peer group
•
Tear down and then reestablishes the BGP session to the peer or peer group
You can specify the threshold value for the router to display an alarm message. When the ratio of the
number of received routes to the maximum number exceeds the percentage value, the router
displays an alarm message.
To configure the maximum number of prefixes allowed to be received from a peer or peer group:
Step
Enter system view.
