Configuring Bgp; Redistributing Routes Into Bgp (Optional) - Cisco ASR 5500 System Administration Manual

Configuring BGP

• Route Filtering for inbound and outbound routes
• Route redistribution and route-maps
• Support for BGP communities and extended communities in route maps
• Local preference for IPv4 and IPv6 (IBGP peers)
IP pool routes and loopback routes are advertised in the BGP domain in the following ways:
• Through BGP Configuration Mode redistribution commands, all or some of the connected routes are
• Through the BGP Configuration Mode network commands, connected routes are explicitly configured

Notes:
• A maximum of 64 BGP peers are supported per context.
• Save your configuration as described in the Verifying and Saving Your Configuration chapter.

Redistributing Routes Into BGP (Optional)

Redistributing routes into BGP simply means that any routes from another protocol that meet a specified
criterion, such as a route type, or a rule within a route-map, are redistributed through the BGP protocol to all
BGP areas. This is an optional configuration.

If a BGP task restarts because of a processing card failure, a migration, a crash, or the removal of a
processing card, all peering session and route information is lost.
