To delete an aggregate entry, use the no aggregate-address address mask router configuration
command. To return options to the default values, use the command with keywords.

Configuring Routing Domain Confederations

One way to reduce the IBGP mesh is to divide an autonomous system into multiple subautonomous
systems and to group them into a single confederation that appears as a single autonomous system. Each
autonomous system is fully meshed within itself and has a few connections to other autonomous systems
in the same confederation. Even though the peers in different autonomous systems have EBGP sessions,
they exchange routing information as if they were IBGP peers. Specifically, the next hop, MED, and
local preference information is preserved. You can then use a single IGP for all of the autonomous
systems.
To configure a BGP confederation, you must specify a confederation identifier that acts as the
autonomous system number for the group of autonomous systems.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, use these commands to configure a BGP confederation:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
router bgp autonomous-system
Step 3
bgp confederation identifier autonomous-system Configure a BGP confederation identifier.
Step 4
bgp confederation peers autonomous-system
[autonomous-system ...]
Step 5
end

Purpose
(Optional) Generate AS set path information. This command
creates an aggregate entry following the same rules as the previous
command, but the advertised path will be an AS_SET consisting of
all elements contained in all paths. Do not use this keyword when
aggregating many paths because this route must be continually
withdrawn and updated.
(Optional) Advertise summary addresses only.
(Optional) Suppress selected, more specific routes.
(Optional) Generate an aggregate based on conditions specified by
the route map.
(Optional) Generate an aggregate with attributes specified in the
route map.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify the configuration.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enter BGP router configuration mode.
Specify the autonomous systems that belong to the
confederation and that will be treated as special EBGP peers.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
