BGP Commands

This chapter describes the commands used to configure and monitor Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for IP Version 4 (IPv4), IP Version 6 (IPv6), Virtual Private Network Version 4 (VPNv4), Virtual Private Network Version 6 (VPNv6), and multicast distribution tree (MDT) routing sessions.

For detailed information about BGP concepts, configuration tasks, and examples, see the Implementing BGP chapter in the Routing Configuration Guide for Cisco CRS Routers.


Note

Running the show bgp command immediately after configuring a large and complex route policy may result in timeout of the system database shown through an error message (SYSDB-SYSDB-6-TIMEOUT_EDM). It is recommended that the show command be run after the new route policy takes effect.


accept-own

To enable handling of self-originated VPN routes containing ACCEPT_OWN community attribute, use the accept-own command in neighbor VPNv4 or VPNv6 address family configuration mode. To disable this functionality, either use the no form of this command or use the command with inheritance-disable keyword.

This command was supported in VRF IPv6 address family configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

You can implement aggregate routing in BGP either by redistributing an aggregate route into BGP using the network command or the aggregate-address command.

Use the aggregate-address command without optional arguments to create an aggregate entry in the BGP routing table if any more-specific BGP routes are available that fall in the specified range. The aggregate route is advertised as coming from your autonomous system and has the atomic aggregate attribute set to show that information might be missing. (By default, the atomic aggregate attribute is set unless you specify the as-set keyword.)

Use of the as-set keyword creates an aggregate entry using the same rules that the command follows without this keyword. However, the advertised path for this route is an AS_SET, a set of all autonomous systems contained in all paths that are being summarized.

Do not use this form of the aggregate-address command when aggregating many paths because this route must be continually withdrawn and updated as autonomous system path reachability information for the summarized routes changes.

Use the as-confed-set keyword to create an AS_CONFED_SET in the autonomous system path of the aggregate from any confederation segments in the paths being summarized. This keyword takes effect only if the as-set keyword is also specified.

Use of the summary-only keyword creates an aggregate entry (for example, 10.0.0.0/8) but suppresses advertisements of more-specific routes to all neighbors. If you want to suppress only advertisements to certain neighbors, use the route-policy (BGP) command in neighbor address family configuration mode with caution. If a more-specific route leaks out, all BGP speakers (the local router) prefer that route over the less-specific aggregate you generate (using longest-match routing).

Use the route-policy keyword to specify a routing policy for the aggregate entry. The route-policy keyword is used to select which more-specific information to base the aggregate entry on and which more-specific information to suppress. You can also use the keyword to modify the attributes of the aggregate entry.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the allocate-label command with a route policy to trigger BGP to allocate labels for all or a filtered set of global routes (as dictated by the route policy). The command enables autonomous system border routers (ASBRs) that have labeled unicast sessions to exchange Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) labels with the routes to the other autonomous system (AS) in Layer 3 Virtual Private Network (L3VPN) inter-AS deployments.


Note

The allocate-label all command is functionally equivalent to the allocate-label route-policy route-policy-name command when the route policy is a pass-all policy.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Hub and spoke VPN networks require looping back of routing information to the hub PE through the hub customer edge (CE). See MPLS Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS Routers for information on hub and spoke VPN networks. This looping back, in addition to the presence of the PE ASN, causes the looped-back information to be dropped by the hub PE.

The allowas-in command prevents the looped-back information from being dropped by replacing the neighbor autonomous system number (ASN) with the PE ASN in the AS path. This allows the VPN customer to see a specified number of occurrences of the PE ASN in the AS path.

bfd (BGP)

To specify a bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) multiplier and minimum-interval arguments per neighbor, use the bfd command in neighbor address family independent configuration mode. To return to the system defaults, use the no form of this command.

Previous to this enhancement, BFD could be configured only in global scope in BGP. This change makes available two new command-line arguments under neighbor address family independent configuration:

bfd {multiplier | | minimum-interval} value

no bfd {multiplier | | minimum-interval} value

Syntax Description

multiplier value

Specifies the BFD session's multiplier value for the neighbor.

minimum-interval value

Specifies the BFD session's minimum-interval value for the neighbor.

Command Default

No default per neighbor parameters are set.

Command Modes

Neighbor address family independent configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 3.4.0

This command was introduced.

Release 3.6.0

The arguments multiplier and minimum-interval were added for the neighbor address family independent configuration.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

If the minimum interval is changed using the bfd minimum-interval command, the new parameter updates all affected BFD sessions under the command mode in which the minimum interval was changed.

If the multiplier is changed using the bfd multiplier command, the new parameter is used to update only the BFD sessions associated with the affected neighbor gets affected.

The assumption is that when BFD fast-detect is enabled under neighbor address family independent configuration, the values for the multiplier and minimum-interval values are always derived from the per-neighbor values if they are configured; otherwise, they are to be taken from the global BGP configuration mode. In the event that this has not been explicitly stated, then these values are taken to be the default values. Also, the bfd arguments can be configured under neighbor-group and session-group and the inheritance adheres to the standard way of BGP configuration inheritance.

Accordingly, there are four cases in which bfd-fast detect is enabled.

This is shown in table below where the BFD value is either multiplier or minimum-interval. Local indicates per NBR value, global is the BGP global value.

When BGP attribute download is enabled using the bgp attribute-download command, BGP reinstalls all routes whose attributes are not currently in the RIB. Likewise, if the user disables BGP attribute download using the no form of the command, BGP reinstalls previously installed routes with a null key, and removes the attributes from the RIB.

Use the bgp attribute-download command to enable the Netflow BGP data export function. When attribute download is enabled, BGP downloads the attribute information for prefixes (community, extended community, and as-path) to the Routing Information Base (RIB) and Forwarding Information Base (FIB). This enables FIB to associate the prefixes with attributes and send the Netflow statistics along with the associated attributes.

The MED is one of the parameters that is considered by the software when selecting the best path among many alternative paths. The software chooses the path with the lowest MED.

By default, during the best-path selection process, the software makes a MED comparison only among paths from the same autonomous system. This command changes the default behavior of the software by allowing comparison of MEDs among paths regardless of the autonomous system from which the paths are received.

When the bgp bestpath med always command is not enabled and distributed BGP is configured, speakers calculate partial best paths only (executes the best-path steps up to the MED comparison) and send them to BGP Routing Information Base (bRIB). bRIB calculates the final best path (executes all the steps in the best-path calculation). When the bgp bestpath med always command is enabled and distributed BGP is configured, speakers can compare the MED across all ASs, allowing the speaker to calculate a single best path to send it to bRIB. bRIB is the ultimate process that calculates the final best path, but when the bgp bestpath med always command is enabled, the speakers send a single best path instead of potentially sending multiple, partial best paths

bgp bestpath med confed

no bgp bestpath med confed

Command Modes

Release

Modification

Release 2.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

By default, the MED of the following paths is not compared with the MED of any other path:

  • Paths with an empty autonomous system path
  • Paths beginning with an AS_SET
  • Paths containing only confederation segments
  • Paths containing confederation segments followed by an AS_SET

Use the bgp bestpath med confed command to affect how the following types of paths are treated in the BGP best-path algorithm:

  • Paths containing only confederation segments
  • Paths containing confederation segments followed by an AS_SET

The MED for paths that start with an AS_SEQUENCE or that start with confederation segments followed by an AS_SEQUENCE only is compared with the MED of other paths that share the same first autonomous system number in the autonomous system sequence (the neighbor autonomous system number). This behavior is not affected by the bgp bestpath med confed command.

As an example, suppose that autonomous systems 65000, 65001, 65002, and 65004 are part of a confederation, but autonomous system 1 is not. Suppose that for a particular route, the following paths exist:

  • Path 1: 65000 65004, med = 2, IGP metric = 20
  • Path 2: 65001 65004, med = 3, IGP metric = 10
  • Path 3: 65002 1, med = 1, IGP metric = 30

If the bgp bestpath med confed command is enabled, the software selects path 1 as the best path because it:

  • Has a lower MED than path 2
  • Has a lower IGP metric than path 3

The MED is not compared with path 3 because it has an external autonomous system number (that is, an AS_SEQUENCE) in the path. If the bgp bestpath med confed command is not enabled, then MED is not compared between any of these paths. Consequently, the software selects path 2 as the best path because it has the lowest IGP metric.

bgp bestpath origin-as use validity

To enable the BGP Origin AS Validation feature (RPKI) and allow the validity states of BGP paths to be taken into consideration in the bestpath process, use the bgp bestpath origin-as use validity command. This can be configured in router configuration mode and address family submode. To return the device to default operation, use the no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

There are three RPKI states - valid, invalid, and not found. When the bgp bestpath origin-as use validity command is configured, only paths marked with 'valid' or 'not found' are considered as best path candidates. When the bgp bestpath origin-as allow invalid command is configured, paths marked as 'invalid' are also considered but preference is given to routes marked 'valid' over those marked 'invalid'.

The bgp bestpath origin-as use validity command takes precedence over the configured weight and local preferences attributes.

bgp bestpath aigp ignore

To configure a device that is running the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to not evaluate the accumulated interior gateway protocol (AIGP) metric during the best path selection process between two paths when one path does not have the AIGP metric, use the bgp bestpath aigp ignore command in router configuration mode. To return the device to default operation, use the no form of this command.

bgp bestpath aigp ignore

no bgp bestpath aigp ignore

Syntax Description

This command has no keywords or arguments.

When BGP multi-pathing is enabled, BGP load-balances user traffic within a single autonomous system (AS). The criteria are that all attributes must match (weight, AS path, etc). However when a device is multi-homed to multiple autonomous systems, BGP cannot load balance traffic between them by default. In order to enable load-balancing of traffic among the multi-homed autonomous systems, the bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax command needs to be enabled. The criteria required for this is that the AS-path length should be equal.

Before you use this command, ensure that BGP is enabled

By default, the clients of a route reflector that are part of the same cluster are not required to be fully meshed and the routes from a client are reflected to other clients. However, if the clients are fully meshed, route reflection is not required. If the cluster-id is not specified, then this command disables intra-cluster route reflection for all clusters.

In this example, the three neighbors are fully meshed, so client-to-client reflection is disabled:

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Together, a route reflector and its clients form a cluster. A cluster of clients usually has a single route reflector. In such instances, the cluster is identified by the software as the router ID of the route reflector. To increase redundancy and avoid a single point of failure in the network, a cluster might have more than one route reflector. If it does, all route reflectors in the cluster must be configured with the same 4-byte cluster ID so that a route reflector can recognize updates from route reflectors in the same cluster.

A single route reflector can also support multiple clusters. Each cluster is identified by a unique cluster-id. The cluster-id configured by the bgp cluster-id command is taken as the default. If bgp cluster-id is not configured, the router ID for the default VRF identifies the default cluster. A neighbor can be associated with one cluster only, and the corresponding cluster-id is configured in neighbor configuration mode. If the cluster-id is not configured for a neighbor and the neighbor is a route reflector client, then the neighbor is assigned to the default cluster.

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

One way to reduce the internal BGP (iBGP) mesh is to divide an autonomous system into multiple autonomous systems and group them into a single confederation. Each autonomous system is fully meshed within itself, and has a few connections to another autonomous system in the same confederation. Although the peers in different autonomous systems have external BGP (eBGP) sessions, they exchange routing information as if they are iBGP peers. Specifically, the confederation maintains the next hop and local preference information, and that allows you to retain a single Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) for all autonomous systems. To the outside world, the confederation looks like a single autonomous system.

Use the bgp confederation identifier command to specify the autonomous system number for the confederation. This autonomous system number is used when BGP sessions are established with external peers in autonomous systems that are not part of the confederation.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Logging of BGP neighbor status changes (up or down) and resets is used for troubleshooting network connectivity problems and measuring network stability. Unexpected neighbor resets might indicate high error rates or high packet loss in the network, and should be investigated.

Status change message logging does not substantially affect performance, unlike, for example, enabling per-BGP update debugging. If the UNIX syslog facility is enabled, messages are sent by the software to the UNIX host running the syslog daemon so that the messages can be stored and archived on disk. If the UNIX syslog facility is not enabled, the status change messages are kept in the internal buffer of the router, and are not stored to disk.

The neighbor status change messages are not tracked if the bgp log neighbor changes disable command is disabled, except for the last reset reason, which is always available as output of the show bgp neighbors command.

Up and down messages for BGP neighbors are logged by the software by default. Use the bgp log neighbor changes disable command to stop logging BGP neighbor changes.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

When BGP is started, it waits a specified period of time for its neighbors to establish peering sessions and to complete sending their initial updates. After all neighbors complete their initial updates, or after the update delay timer expires, the best path is calculated for each route, and the software starts sending advertisements out to its peers. This behavior improves convergence time. If the software were to advertise a route as soon as it learned it, it would have to readvertise the route each time it learned a new path that was preferred over all previously learned paths.

Use the bgp update-delay command to tune the maximum time the software waits after the first neighbor is established until it starts calculating best paths and sending out advertisements.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the bgp write-limit command to configure both a per-update group and a global limit on the number of messages the software queues when updating peers. Increasing these limits can result in faster Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) convergence, but also may result in higher memory use during convergence. In addition, this command can be used to enable desynchronization. Desynchronization can decrease memory use and speed up convergence for the fastest neighbors if one or more neighbors in an update group process updates significantly slower than other neighbors in the same group. However, enabling desynchronization can cause a significant degradation in overall convergence time, especially if the router is experiencing high CPU utilization. For this reason, enabling desynchronization is discouraged.

Release 3.3.0

This command was changed from capability orf prefix-list to capability orf prefix . This command was supported in VRF neighbor IPv4 address family configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The advertisement of the prefix list ORF capability by a BGP speaker indicates whether the speaker can send prefix lists to the specified neighbor and whether it accepts prefix lists from the neighbor. The speaker sends a prefix list if it indicated the ability to send them, and if the neighbor indicated it was willing to accept them. Similarly, the neighbor sends a prefix list to the speaker if it indicated the ability to send them and the speaker indicated the willingness to accept them.


Note

The capability orf and prefix list filter specified by orf route-policy must be explicitly configured.


If the neighbor sends a prefix list and the speaker accepts it, the speaker applies the received prefix list, plus any locally configured outbound filters, to limit its outbound routing updates to the neighbor. Increased filtering prevents unwanted routing updates between neighbors and reduces resource requirements for routing update generation and processing.

Use the capability orf prefix command to set whether to advertise send and receive capabilities to the specified neighbor.


Note

Sending a receive capability can adversely affect performance, because updates sent to that neighbor cannot be replicated for any other neighbors.


If this command is configured for a neighbor group or neighbor address family group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

To suppress capabilities from being advertised to the BGP peer, use the capability suppress command in the appropriate configuration mode. To remove the capability suppress command from the configuration and restore the system to the default condition, in which the software advertises the capability, use the no form of this command.

capability suppress {4-byte-as | all | extended-nexthop-encoding} [inheritance-disable]

Syntax Description

4-byte-as

Suppresses advertisement of the 4-byte AS capability to BGP peers.

all

Suppresses advertisement of all capabilities to BGP peers.

inheritance-disable

Prevents capability suppress being inherited from the parent.

Command Default

4-byte-as capability is advertised to the BGP peer.

Command Modes

Neighbor configuration

Neighbor group configuration

Session group configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 3.4.1

This command was introduced.

Release 3.9.0

The disable keyword was replaced with the inheritance-disable keyword.

Usage Guidelines

By default, the software advertises the 4-byte AS capability to BGP peers. To override this default behavior, use the capability suppress 4-byte-as command under the command modes listed in the ''Command Modes'' section. If configured under the neighbor group or session group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Use the no option to remove the command.


Caution

The BGP session resets automatically, if the 4-byte AS capability of an existing BGP session is changed by configuring capability suppress 4-byte-as or capability suppress 4-byte-as inheritance-disable .

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the clear bgp command to reset the sessions of the specified group of neighbors (hard reset); it removes the TCP connection to the neighbor, removes all routes received from the neighbor from the BGP table, and then re-establishes the session with the neighbor.

If the graceful keyword is specified, the routes from the neighbor are not removed from the BGP table immediately, but are marked as stale. After the session is re-established, any stale route that has not been received again from the neighbor is removed.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the clear bgp soft command to trigger a soft reset of the specified address families for the specified group of neighbors. This command is useful if you change the inbound or outbound policy for the neighbors, or any other configuration that affects the sending or receiving of routing updates.

If an outbound soft reset is triggered, BGP resends all routes for the address family to the given neighbors.

If an inbound soft reset is triggered, BGP by default sends a REFRESH request to the neighbor, if the neighbor has advertised the ROUTE_REFRESH capability. To determine whether the neighbor has advertised the ROUTE_REFRESH capability, use the show bgp neighbors command, and look for the following line of output:


  Received route refresh capability from peer.
  
  

If the neighbor does not support route refresh, but the soft-reconfiguration inbound command is configured for the neighbor, then BGP uses the routes cached as a result of the soft-reconfiguration inbound command to perform the soft reset.

If you want BGP to use the cached routes even if the neighbor supports route refresh, you can use the always keyword when configuring the soft-reconfiguration inbound command.

If the neighbor does not support route refresh and the soft-reconfiguration inbound command is not configured, then inbound soft reset is not possible. In this case, an error is printed.


Note

By default, if the configuration for an inbound or outbound route policy is changed, BGP performs an automatic soft reset. Use the bgp auto-policy-soft-reset disable command to disable this behavior.

cluster-id

To configure the cluster for a neighbor, use the cluster-id command in an appropriate configuration mode. To remove the cluster, use the no form of this command.

cluster-id cluster-id

no cluster-id [cluster-id ]

Syntax Description

cluster-id

Cluster ID of the router acting as a route reflector; maximum of four bytes. Cluster ID can be entered either as an IP address or value. Range is 1 to 4294967295.

Command Default

A cluster ID is not configured.

Command Modes

Session group configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 3.8.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

A single route reflector can support multiple clusters. A neighbor can be associated with one cluster only. And the corresponding cluster ID is configured in neighbor configuration mode. If the cluster ID is not configured for a neighbor and the neighbor is a route reflector client, then the neighbor is assigned to the default cluster.

A neighbor will be considered to be a route reflector client only if it is configured as a route reflector client in the appropriate address-family configuration mode.

Configuring the cluster ID using the cluster-id command for a neighbor group or session group under the neighbor group configuration mode or the session group configuration mode causes all neighbors using the group to inherit the characteristics configured with the command. Configuring the command directly for the neighbor overrides the value inherited from the group.

To increase redundancy and avoid a single point of failure in the network, the clusters might be connected to more than one route reflector. In this case, the neighbor to cluster-id mapping at all the route reflectors must be the same so that a route reflector can recognize updates from route reflectors that are connected to the same clusters.

Use the default-metric command to set the Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) to advertise to peers for routes that do not already have a metric set (routes that were received with no MED attribute).


Note

The metric values that you apply using the default-metric command take effect only for a new prefix which gets into the BGP table. The metrics for the existing prefixes in the BGP table remain the same. Also, when you remove the default-metric command from the configuration, the metrics which were previously assigned for prefixes are not updated. To get out of this condition, clear the BGP neighborship.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The default-originate command does not require the presence of the default route (0.0.0.0/0 for IPv4 or ::/0 for IPv6) in the local router. When the default-originate command is used with a route policy, the default route is advertised if any route in the BGP table matches the policy.

distance bgp

To allow the use of external, internal, and local administrative distances that could be used to prefer one class of routes over another, use the distance bgp command in an appropriate configuration mode. To disable the use of administrative distances, use the no no form of this command.

distance bgp external-distance internal-distance local-distance

no distance bgp [external-distance internal-distance local-distance]

Syntax Description

external-distance

Administrative distance for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) external routes. External routes are routes for which the best path is learned from a neighbor external to the autonomous system. Range is 1 to 255. Routes with a distance of 255 are not installed in the routing table.

internal-distance

Administrative distance for BGP internal routes. Internal routes are those routes that are learned from another BGP entity within the same autonomous system. Range is 1 to 255. Routes with a distance of 255 are not installed in the routing table.

local-distance

Administrative distance for BGP local routes. The local-distance argument applies to locally generated aggregate routes (such as the routes generated by the aggregate-address command) and backdoor routes installed in the routing table. Range is 1 to 255. Routes with a distance of 255 are not installed in the routing table.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the distance bgp command if another protocol is known to be able to provide a better route to a node than was actually learned using external BGP, or if some internal routes should be preferred by BGP.


Note

Changing the administrative distance of BGP internal routes is considered risky and is not recommended. One problem that can arise is the accumulation of routing table inconsistencies, which can interfere with routing.


An administrative distance is a rating of the trustworthiness of a routing information source. Numerically, an administrative distance is an integer from 1 to 255. In general, the higher the value, the lower the trust rating. An administrative distance of 255 means the routing information source cannot be trusted at all and should be ignored.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the ebgp-multihop command to enable multihop peerings with external BGP neighbors. The BGP protocol states that external neighbors must be directly connected (one hop away). The software enforces this by default; however, the ebgp-multihop command can be used to override this behavior.

Use of the mpls option in the ebgp-multihop command prevents BGP from enabling MPLS on the peering interface and also prevents allocation of Implicit-NULL rewrite labels for nexthop addresses learned from the peer. This is useful in some scenarios in which MPLS forwarding labels to the nexthops have already been learned via BGP labeled-unicast or LDP.

If this command is configured for a neighbor group or session group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

label-allocation-mode [per-ce | | per-vrf]

no label-allocation-mode

Syntax Description

per-ce

Specifies that the same label is used for all the routes advertised from a unique customer edge (CE) peer or router.

per-vrf

Specifies that the same label is used for all the routes advertised from a unique VRF.

Command Default

Per-prefix is the default label allocation mode.

This command was introduced.

Release 3.8.0

This command under global IPv6 address family configuration mode was renamed to label mode .

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Each prefix that belongs to a VRF instance is advertised with a single label, causing an additional lookup to be performed in the VRF forwarding table to determine the customer edge (CE) next hop for the packet. Use the label-allocation-mode command with the per-ce keyword to avoid the additional lookup on the PE router and conserve label space. This mode allows the PE router to allocate one label for every immediate next hop. The label is directly mapped to the next hop so there is no VRF route lookup performed during data forwarding. However, the number of labels allocated is one for each CE rather than one for each prefix.


Note

  • The label-allocation-mode under the global IPv6 address family configuration mode is renamed as label mode , in Cisco IOS-XR Software release 4.3.1 and later releases.

  • With the introduction of label mode command, the nexthop labels will no longer be released, when label-allocation-mode command with the per-ce keyword is unconfigured.

label mode

To set the MPLS/VPN label mode based on prefix value, use the label mode command in an appropriate configuration mode. To remove the label mode command from the configuration file and restore the system to its default condition, use the no form of this command.

Use this syntax for vrf all configuration mode under VPN IPv4/IPv6 AF (address family) mode or global IPv6 AF configuration mode:

label mode {per-ce | | per-vrf | | route-policy}

no label mode {per-ce | | per-vrf | | route-policy}

Use this syntax for IPv4/IPv6 AF configuration mode under vrf mode:

label mode {per-prefix | | per-ce | | per-vrf | | route-policy}

no label mode {per-prefix | | per-ce | | per-vrf | | route-policy}

Syntax Description

per-ce

Specifies that the same label is used for all routes advertised from a unique customer edge (CE) peer or route.

per-vrf

Specifies that the same label is used for all routes advertised from a unique VRF.

per-prefix

Specifies that the same label is used for all routes advertised from a unique prefix.

Note 

This keyword is applicable only for IPv4/IPv6 AF configuration mode under vrf mode.

route-policy

Specifies a route policy to select prefixes for setting the label mode.

Command Default

Per-prefix label mode.


Note

If a policy attached at label-mode attachpoint evaluates to pass and a label mode is not explicitly set, per-prefix is used as the default label mode.

If a policy attached at label-mode attachpoint evaluates to a drop, per-prefix is used as a default label mode. If any label mode is set explicitly in this case, it will be ignored.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

To configure label mode at VPN-AF level and to have all the VRF AFs inherit that configuration, you must use vrf all , which is available under VPN-AF mode.

The inheritance rules followed are:

  • label mode configuration under VRF-AF, overrides label-allocation-mode configuration under VRF and label mode configuration under VPN-AF.

  • label-allocation-mode configuration under VRF, overrides label mode configuration under VPN-AF.

  • The order of priority to determine the label mode in the configurations is:

    1. VRF-AF: label mode

    2. VRF: label-allocation-mode

    3. VPN-AF: label mode

    4. N/A: per-prefix


Note

Even if label mode is in use, per-vrf label is allocated for connected, aggregate, and local prefixes.

long-lived-graceful-restart {capable | stale-time send time accept time}

Syntax Description

capable

Treats the neighbor as LLGR capable even if it does not advertise the capabilities.

stale-time

Causes the local router to advertise the LLGR capability to the neighbor and to enable LLGR for prefixes received from the neighbor.

send time

Specifies stale-time sent in LLGR capability.

Modification

Release 5.2.2

Usage Guidelines

When this command is configured, the BGP session is reset, because the changes need to be advertised to the neighbor in a BGP OPEN message.

When the BGP session to a neighbor goes down the routes received from it will be marked LLGR stale if all of the following conditions are met:
  • Either the neighbor is configured as capable or the neighbor sent the LLGR capability in its BGP OPEN message

  • The accept time is not configured to be 0.

  • The stale time that the neighbor sent in the LLGR capability in its BGP OPEN message is not 0.

  • The neighbor session was not brought down with a clear command on the local router.

  • The neighbor sent either the LLGR or graceful restart capability in its BGP OPEN message.

LLGR routes will only be advertised to a neighbor that is LLGR capable, either because it is configured as capable or because it has sent the LLGR capability in its BGP OPEN message. An LLGR route is either one that has been marked as LLGR stale, because the BGP session from which it was received went down or because it has the LLGR_STALE community and does not have the NO_LLGR community.

The long-lived-graceful-restart stale-time send 20 accept 30 command is used to configure the LLGR on the neighbor. When this command is configured the configured device will retain routes from the neighbor.

maximum-paths (BGP)

To control the maximum number of parallel routes that Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) installs in the routing table, use the maximum-paths command in an appropriate configuration mode. To set the maximum number of parallel routes the software installs to the default value, use the no form of this command.

maximum-paths {ebgp | ibgp | eibgp} maximum [unequal-cost] [selective]

no maximum-paths {ebgp | ibgp | eibgp} [maximum] [unequal-cost]

Syntax Description

ebgp

Specifies external BGP multipath peers.

ibgp

Specifies internal BGP multipath peers.

eibgp

Specifies internal and external BGP multipath peers. eiBGP allows simultaneous use of internal and external paths.

maximum

Maximum number of parallel routes that BGP installs in the routing table. Range is 2 to 32.

unequal-cost

(Optional) Allows iBGP multipaths to have different BGP next-hop Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) metrics. This option is available when the ibgp keyword is used.

Release 3.3.0

This command was supported in VRF IPv4 address family configuration mode. The eibgp and unequal-cost keywords were added.

Release 3.5.0

This command was supported in VRF IPv6 address family configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the maximum-paths command to allow the BGP to allow the BGP protocol to install multiple paths into the routing table for each prefix. With the eBGP option, multiple paths are installed for external peers that are from the same autonomous system and are equal cost (according to the BGP best-path algorithm). Similarly with the iBGP option, multiple paths are installed for internal peers that are equal cost based on the BGP best-path algorithm. With the eiBGP option, multiple paths from both iBGP and eBGP are eligible for multipath selection. The IGP metric to the BGP next hop is the same as the best-path IGP metric unless the router is configured for unequal cost iBGP multipath or eiBGP multipath. The selective option restricts multipath eligible routes to those that come from peers configured with the multipath option.

See Implementing BGP in the Routing Configuration Guide for Cisco CRS Routers for information on the BGP best-path algorithm.


Note

The maximum-paths command with the eibgp keyword cannot be configured if the ibgp or ebgp keywords have been configured, because the eibgp keyword is a super set of the ibgp or ebgp keywords.

maximum-prefix (BGP)

To control how many prefixes can be received from a neighbor, use the maximum-prefix command in an appropriate configuration mode. To set the prefix limits to the default values, use the no form of this command.

maximum-prefix maximum [threshold] [discard-extra-paths] [warning-only] [restart time-interval]

no maximum-prefix maximum [threshold] [discard-extra-paths] [warning-only] [restart time-interval]

Syntax Description

maximum

Maximum number of prefixes allowed from this neighbor. Range is from1 to 4294967295.
Note 

When using additional-paths feature, each path with a unique path ID received from a peer is counted separately for the purpose of maximum-prefix functionality. Hence, the maximum value should be configured appropriately when the peer is capable of sending additional-paths.

discard-extra-paths

(Optional) Drops all the excess prefixes received from the neighbor when the prefixes exceed the configured maximum value.

threshold

(Optional) Integer specifying at what percentage of the maximum argument value the software starts to generate a warning message. Range is from1 to 100.

warning-only

(Optional) Instructs the software to only generate a log message when the maximum argument value is exceeded, and not to terminate the peering.

  • VPNv4 unicast: 2097152

  • VPNv6 unicast: 1048576

Release 5.3.1

The discard-extra-paths keyword was added.

Usage Guidelines

Use the maximum-prefix command to configure a maximum number of prefixes that a BGP router is allowed to receive from a neighbor. It adds another mechanism (besides routing policy) to control prefixes received from a peer.

When the number of received prefixes exceeds the maximum number configured, the software terminates the peering, by default, after sending a cease notification to the neighbor. However, if the warning-only keyword is configured, the software writes only a log message, but continues peering with the sender. If the peer is terminated, the peer stays down until the clear bgp command is issued or the restart time-interval option is used.

This command takes effect immediately if configured on an established neighbor, unless the number of prefixes received from the neighbor already exceeds the configured limits.

If this command is configured for a neighbor group or neighbor address family group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

Release 3.3.0

This command was supported in VRF configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

From router configuration mode, you can use this command to enter neighbor configuration mode.

From neighbor configuration mode, you can enter address family configuration for the neighbor by using the address-family command, which allows you to configure routing sessions for IP Version 4 and IP Version 6 address prefixes.

The neighbor command does not cause the neighbor to be configured and does not result in a peering to be established with the neighbor. To create the neighbor, you configure a remote autonomous system number by entering the remote-as command, or the neighbor can inherit a remote autonomous system from a neighbor group or session group if the use command is applied.


Note

A neighbor must have must a remote autonomous system number, and an IP address and address family must be enabled on the neighbor.


Unlike IPv4, IPv6 must be enabled before any IPv6 neighbors can be defined. Enable IPv6 in router configuration mode using the address-family command.


Note

Configuration for the neighbor cannot occur (peering is not established) until the neighbor is given a remote as-number and neighbor address.


The no form of this command causes the peering with the neighbor to be terminated and all configuration that relates to the neighbor to be removed.

Release 2.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The neighbor-group command puts the router in neighbor group configuration mode and creates a neighbor group.

A neighbor group helps you apply the same configuration to one or more neighbors. After a neighbor group is configured, each neighbor can inherit the configuration through the use command. If a neighbor is configured to use a neighbor group, the neighbor, by default, inherits the entire configuration of the neighbor group, which includes the address family-independent and address family-specific configurations. The inherited configuration can be overridden if you directly configure commands for the neighbor or if you configure session groups or address family groups with the use command.

From neighbor group configuration mode, you can configure address family-independent parameters for the neighbor group. To enter address family-specific configuration for the neighbor group, use the address-family command when in the neighbor group configuration mode.


Note

If an address family is configured for a neighbor group, neighbors that use the neighbor group attempt to exchange routes in that address family.


The no form of this command ordinarily causes all configuration for the neighbor group to be removed. If using the no form would result in a neighbor losing its remote autonomous system number, the configuration is rejected. In this scenario, the neighbor configuration must be either removed or configured with a remote autonomous system number before the neighbor group configuration can be removed.


Note

Neighbor groups should not be configured with a mixture of IPv4 and IPv6 address families, because such a neighbor group is not usable by any neighbor. Note that within the Cisco IOS XR system configuration architecture, it is possible to create such a neighbor group; however, any attempt to use it is rejected.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the next-hop-self command to set the BGP next-hop attribute of routes being advertised over a peering session to the local source address of the session.

This command is useful in nonmeshed networks in which BGP neighbors may not have direct access to all other neighbors on the same IP subnet.

If this command is configured for a neighbor group or address family group, a neighbor using the group inherits the configuration. Configuring the command specifically for a neighbor overrides any inherited value.

Configuring the next-hop-self command under IPv4 labeled-unicast, IPv6 labeled-unicast, or VRF labeled-unicast address family configuration mode enables next-hop-self for labeled prefixes advertised to an iBGP peer.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the nexthop route-policy command to configure route policy filtering using next hops.

The BGP next-hop tracking feature allows you to specify that BGP routes are resolved using only next hops whose routes have the following characteristics:

  • To avoid the aggregate routes, the prefix length must be greater than a specified value.
  • The source protocol must be from a selected list, ensuring that BGP routes are not used to resolve next hops that could lead to oscillation.

This route policy filtering is possible because RIB identifies the source protocol of a route that resolves a next hop as well as the mask length associated with the route.

The next-hop attach point supports matching using the protocol name and mask length. BGP marks all next hops that are rejected by the route policy as invalid, and no best path is calculated for the routes that use the invalid next hop. The invalid next hops continue to stay in the active cache and can be displayed as part of the show bgp nexthop command with an invalid status.

nexthop trigger-delay

To specify the delay for triggering next-hop calculations, use the nexthop trigger-delay command in the appropriate configuration mode. To set the trigger delay to the default value, use the no form of this command.

nexthop trigger-delay {critical delay | non-critical delay}

no nexthop trigger-delay {critical delay | non-critical delay}

Syntax Description

critical

Specifies critical next-hop events. For example, when the next hop is unreachable.

delay

Trigger delay, in milliseconds. Range is 0 to 4294967295.

non-critical

Specifies noncritical next-hop events. For example, Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) metric changes.

Command Default

critical : 3000 msec for IPv4 address family and IPv6 address family

critical : 0 msec for VPNv4 address family and VPNv6 address family

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the nexthop trigger-delay command to allow for a dynamic way for Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) to converge. This convergence allows BGP to accumulate all notifications and trigger fewer walks, resulting in fewer interprocess communications (IPCs) to the Routing Information Base (RIB) for route addition, deletion, and modification and fewer updates to peers.


Note

A high delay value can be configured to effectively turn off next-hop tracking.


The non-critical delay value must always be set to at least equal or greater than the critical delay value .

The delay should be slightly higher than the time it takes for the IGP to settle into a steady state after some event (IGP convergence time).

password (BGP)

To enable Message Digest 5 (MD5) authentication on a TCP connection between two Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) neighbors, use the password command in an appropriate configuration mode. To disable MD5 authentication, use the no form of this command.

password {clear | encrypted} password

no password [clear password | encrypted password]

Syntax Description

clear

Specifies that an unencrypted password follows. The password must be a case-sensitive, clear-text unencrypted password.

encrypted

Specifies that an encrypted password follows. The password must be a case-sensitive, encrypted password.

password

Password of up to 80 characters. The password can contain any alphanumeric characters. However, if the first character is a number or the password contains a space, the password must be enclosed in double quotation marks; for example, “2 password.”

This command was supported in VRF neighbor configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Configure a password to enable authentication between two BGP peers. Use the password command to verify each segment sent on the TCP connection between the peers. The same password must be configured on both networking devices, otherwise a connection cannot be made. The authentication feature uses the MD5 algorithm. Specifying this command causes the software to generate and check the MD5 digest on every segment sent on the TCP connection.

Configuring a neighbor password does not cause the existing session for a neighbor to end. However, until the new password is configured on the remote router, the local BGP process does not receive keepalive messages from the remote device. If the password is not updated on the remote device by the end of the hold time, the session ends. The hold time can be changed using the timers command or the timers bgp command.

If this command is configured for a neighbor group or neighbor address family group, a neighbor using the group inherits the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor overrides inherited values.

The following are restrictions when configuring route distinguishers:

  • BGP router-id must be configured before rd auto can be configured
  • Route distinguisher cannot be changed or removed when an IPv4 unicast address family is configured under VRF.
  • BGP router-id cannot be changed or removed when rd auto is configured under a VRF.
  • When rd auto is configured under a VRF, the IP address for the router distinguisher configured under another VRF must be different from that of the BGP router-id

Use the receive-buffer-size command to increase the buffer size when receiving updates from a neighbor. Using larger buffers can improve convergence time because it allows the software to process a larger number of packets simultaneously. However, allocating larger buffers consumes more memory on the router.


Note

Increasing the socket buffer size uses more memory only when more messages are waiting to be processed by the software. In contrast, increasing the BGP buffer size uses extra memory indefinitely.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.


Note

When redistributing routes (into BGP) using both command keywords for setting or matching of attributes and a route policy, the routes are run through the route policy first, followed by the keyword matching and setting.


Each instance of a protocol may be redistributed independently of the others. Changing or removing redistribution for a particular instance does not affect the redistribution capability of other protocols or other instances of the same protocol.

Networks specified using the network command are not affected by the redistribute command; that is, the routing policy specified in the network command takes precedence over the policy specified through the redistribute command.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the remote-as command to create a neighbor and assign it a remote autonomous system number. A neighbor must have a remote autonomous system number before any other commands can be configured for it. Removing the remote autonomous system from a neighbor causes the neighbor to be deleted. You cannot remove the autonomous system number if the neighbor has other configuration.


Note

We recommend that you use the no neighbor command rather than the no remote-as command to delete a neighbor.


A neighbor specified with a remote autonomous system number that matches the autonomous system number specified in the router bgp command identifies the neighbor as internal to the local autonomous system. Otherwise, the neighbor is considered external.

Configuration of the remote-as command for a neighbor group or session group using the neighbor-group command or session-group command causes all neighbors using the group to inherit the characteristics configured with the command. Configuring the command directly for the neighbor overrides the value inherited from the group.

In the neighbor configuration submode, configuring use of a session group or neighbor group for which remote-as is configured creates a neighbor and assigns it an autonomous system number if the neighbor has not already been created.


Note

Do not combine remote-as commands and no use neighbor-group commands, or remote-as commands and no use session-group commands, in the same configuration commit.

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

This feature is available for external BGP (eBGP) neighbors only.

When an update is passed to the external neighbor, the system drops any private autonomous system numbers. This happens irrespective of whether the autonomous system numbers are at the beginning or in the middle of the AS_SEQUENCE.

If this command is used in a BGP confederation, the element following the confederation portion of the autonomous system path, if a sequence, is considered the leading sequence.

The private autonomous system values range from 64512 to 65535.

If this command is configured for a neighbor group or address family group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

Use the entire-aspath to removes the entire private autonomous system numbers from an autonomous system path only if all ASes in the path are private.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the retain route-target command to configure a route reflector (RR) to retain routes tagged with specific route targets (RT).

The retain route-target is a required command for Inter-AS option B ASBR. By default, an Inter-AS option B ASBR needs the retain route-target configured to get VPNv4 BGP table from PE routers, either with the all or with the route-policy option.

A provider edge (PE) router is not required to hold all VPNv4 routes. The PE router holds only routes that match the import RT of the VPNs configured on it, but a RR must retain all VPNv4 routes because it may peer with PE routers and different PEs may require different RT-tagged VPNv4 routes. Configuring an RR to hold only routes that have a defined set of RT communities and configuring some of these RRs to service a different set of VPNs provides scalability to the RRs. A PE can be configured to peer with all RRs that service the VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instances configured on the PE. When a new VRF is configured with an RT for which the PE does not already hold routes, the PE issues route refresh requests to the RRs and gets the relevant VPN routes.

The route-policy route-policy-name keyword and argument takes the policy name that lists the extended communities that a path should have for the RR to retain the path.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the route-policy command to specify a routing policy for an inbound or outbound route. The policy can be used to filter routes or modify route attributes. The route-policy command is used to define a policy.


Note

Configuring a large number of uniquely named outbound neighbor policies can adversely affect performance. This is true even if the uniquely named route policies are functionally identical. The user is discouraged from configuring multiple functionally identical route policies for use with this command. For example, if Policy A and Policy B are identical but named for different neighbors, the two policies should be configured as a single policy.


If the route-policy command is configured for a neighbor group or neighbor address family group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

This command is restricted to internal BGP (iBGP) neighbors only.

Use the route-reflector-client command to configure the local router as the route reflector and the specified neighbor as one of its clients. All neighbors configured with this command are members of the client group, and the remaining iBGP peers are members of the nonclient group for the local route reflector.

By default, all iBGP speakers in an autonomous system must be fully meshed with each other, and neighbors do not readvertise iBGP learned routes to other iBGP neighbors.

With route reflection, all iBGP speakers need not be fully meshed. An iBGP speaker, the route reflector, passes learned iBGP routes to some number of iBGP client neighbors. Learned iBGP routes eliminate the need for each router running BGP to communicate with every other device running BGP in the autonomous system.

The local router is a route reflector as long as it has at least one route reflector client.

If this command is configured for a neighbor group or neighbor address family group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

rpki route ip-address-length {max max-prefix-length | origin origin-autonomous-system-number}

no rpki route ip-address-length {max max-prefix-length | origin origin-autonomous-system-number}

Syntax Description

ip-address/length

Specifies the IP address of the network along with the minimum prefix length.

max max-prefix-length Specifies the maximum prefix length (32 for IPv4 and 128 for IPv6).
origin origin-autonomous-system-number Specifies the autonomous system number.

In general, BGP receives the Route-Origin-Attestation (ROA) information from RPKI cache. However, the rpki route command is used for verification. This command can be used to configure both IPv4 and IPv6 ROAs.

This command contains all the essential attributes of an ROA record, that is, the prefix-block (IP address/length (minimum/maximum)) and the origin AS authorized to create the prefix-block.

Multiple static ROAs can be configured through this command and these entries will be included in the routers RPKI database, as if they were fetched from an RPKI cache.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the send-buffer-size command to increase the buffer size employed when sending updates to a neighbor. Using larger buffers can improve convergence time because the software can process more packets simultaneously. However, allocating larger buffers uses more memory on the router.


Note

Increasing the socket buffer size uses more memory only when more messages are waiting to be processed by the software. In contrast, increasing the BGP buffer size uses more memory indefinitely.


If this command is configured for a neighbor group or session group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the session-group command to create a session group from which neighbors can inherit configuration that is address family-independent. That is, session groups cannot have address family-specific configuration. This command enters the session group configuration mode in which configuration for a session group is entered.

Many commands can be configured in both session group configuration mode and neighbor configuration mode.

Use of session groups saves time and reduces the router configuration size. Because the configuration of a session group can be inherited by any number of neighbors, use of the group can eliminate the need to copy long or complex configurations on each of a large number of neighbors. A neighbor can inherit all configuration from a session group simply by configuring the use command. Specific inherited session group configuration commands can be overridden for a specific neighbor by explicitly configuring the command for the specific neighbor.

The no form of this command causes all of the configuration for the session group to be removed. You cannot use the no form of this command if removing the group would leave one or more neighbors without a configured remote autonomous system number.

The following example shows a session group called group1 that is used by two neighbors, 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2. Because group1 is a session group, it contains only address family-independent configuration. And because group1 is used by neighbors 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2, they inherit the configuration of the group.

And because group1 is used by neighbors 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2, they inherit the configuration of the group. However, the password password1 configuration from group1 is overridden for neighbor 10.0.0.2, using the password-disable command in the neighbor 10.0.0.2 configuration submode.

session-open-mode

To establish a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) session with a specific TCP open mode, use the session-open-mode command in an appropriate configuration mode. To restore the default state, use the no form of this command.

session-open-mode {active-only | both | passive-only}

no session-open-mode [active-only | both | passive-only]

Syntax Description

active-only

Ensures that the BGP session can be established only when the request is initiated by the local end (active-open request) and all passive-open requests (from the other end) are rejected by the local BGP.

both

Allows BGP sessions to be established from both incoming or outgoing TCP connection requests, with one being rejected in the event of a request collision.

passive-only

Ensures that the local BGP does not initiate any TCP open requests and the session can be established only when the request comes from the remote end.

Command Default

The default is both .

This command was supported in VRF neighbor configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

BGP, by default, tries to initiate an active TCP connection whenever a new neighbor is configured. A remote neighbor may also initiate the TCP connection before the local BGP can initiate the connection. This initiation of a TCP connection by a remote neighbor is considered a passive-open request and it is accepted by the local BGP. This default behavior can be modified using the session-open-mode command.


Note

The BGP connection is not opened and, as a result the BGP session, is not established if both the peering neighbors use the same nondefault TCP session open mode—active-only or passive-only. If both ends are configured with active-only, each neighbor rejects the TCP open request from the other end. One neighbor must be configured as passive-only or both. Similarly, if both neighbors are configured with passive-only, neither neighbor initiates the TCP open request and the BGP session is not established. Again, one neighbor must be configured as active-only or both. There is one exception. A connection open request from a neighbor that is configured with the TCP session open mode to be passive-only is processed to detect whether there is a connection collision before the request is rejected. This exception enables the local BGP to reset the session if the remote neighbor goes down and it is not detected by the local router.


Use the session-open-mode command when it may be necessary to preconfigure a neighbor that does not exist. Ensure that BGP does not spend any time actively trying to set up a TCP session with the neighbor. A BGP session does not come up between two neighbors, both of which configure the same nondefault value ( active-only or passive-only keyword) for this command.

Usage Guidelines

set default-afi


Note

The set default-afi command is used to specify the default address family for the sessions and the set default-safi command is used to specify the default subaddress family for the session. See the System Management Command Reference for Cisco CRS Routers for detailed information and syntax for the set default-afi and set default-safi commands. If you do not specify a default address family, the default address family is IPv4. If you do not specify a default subaddress family, the default subaddress family is unicast.


BGP contains a separate routing table for each address family and subaddress family combination that has been configured. The address family and subaddress family options specify the routing table to be examined. If the all keyword is specified for an address family or a subaddress family, each matching routing table is examined in turn.


Note

Running the show bgp command immediately after configuring a large and complex route policy may result in timeout of the system database shown through an error message (SYSDB-SYSDB-6-TIMEOUT_EDM). It is recommended, that the show command be run, after the new route policy takes effect.


Use the show bgp ip-address { mask | / prefix-length } command to display detailed information for a specific route. If the mask and prefix length are omitted, the details of the longest matching prefix for the IP address are displayed.

Use the show bgp command to display all routes in the specified BGP routing table. Use the show bgp ip-address { mask | / prefix-length } longer-prefixes command to display those routes more specific than a particular prefix.

Use the unknown-attributes keyword to display details of any transitive attributes associated with a route that are not understood by the local system.

Use the show bgp ip-address/prefix-length detail command to display details of the specified prefix.

BGP identifier for the local system.

local AS number

Autonomous system number for the local system.

  • Range for 2-byte Autonomous system numbers (ASNs) is 1 to 65535.
  • Range for 4-byte Autonomous system numbers (ASNs) in asplain format is 1 to 4294967295.
  • Range for 4-byte Autonomous system numbers (ASNs) in asdot format is 1.0 to 65535.65535.

BGP generic scan interval

Interval (in seconds) between scans of the BGP table by a generic scanner.

BGP table state

State of the BGP database.

Table ID

BGP database identifier.

BGP main routing table version

Last version of the BGP database that was installed into the main routing table.

Dampening enabled

Dampening is enabled for the routes in this BGP routing table.

BGP scan interval

Interval (in seconds) between BGP scans for the specified address family and subaddress family.

Status codes

Status of the table entry. The status is displayed as a three-character field at the beginning of each line in the table. The first character may be (in order of precedence):

S—Path is stale, indicating that a graceful restart is in progress with the peer from which the route was learned.

s—Path is more specific than a locally sourced aggregate route and has been suppressed.

*—Path is valid.

The second character may be (in order of precedence):

>—Path is the best path to use for that network.

d—Path is dampened.

h—Path is a history entry, representing a route that is currently withdrawn, but that is being maintained to preserve dampening information. Such routes should never be marked as valid.

The third character may be:

i—Path was learned by an internal BGP (iBGP) session.

Origin codes

Origin of the path. The origin code is displayed at the end of each line in the table. It can be one of the following values:

i—Path originated from an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) and was sourced by BGP using a network or aggregate-address command.

e—Path originated from an Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP).

?—Origin of the path is not clear. Usually, this is a route that is redistributed into BGP from an IGP.

Network

IP prefix and prefix length for a network.

Next Hop

IP address of the next system that is used when a packet is forwarded to the destination network. An entry of 0.0.0.0 indicates that the router has a non-BGP route to this network.

Metric

Value of the interautonomous system metric, otherwise known as the Multi Exit discriminator (MED) metric.

LocPrf

Local preference value. This is used to determine the preferred exit point from the local autonomous system. It is propagated throughout the local autonomous system.

Weight

Path weight. Weight is used in choosing the preferred path to a route. It is not advertised to any neighbor.

Path

Autonomous system path to the destination network. At the end of the path is the path origin code.

This table describes the significant fields shown in the display.

Table 4. show bgp prefix length Field Descriptions

Field

Description

BGP router table entry

Network that is being displayed.

Versions

List of the network versions in each BGP process.

Process

Name of the BGP process.

bRIB/RIB

Version of the network for sending to the RIB. You can compare this version with the bRIB/RIB version for the process (at the top of show bgp summary ) to verify whether the network has been sent to the RIB.

SendTblVer

Version of the network for advertising to neighbors. This can be compared with the neighbor version to determine whether the network has been advertised to a particular neighbor.

Last Modified

Timestamp when this route was last modified.

Paths

List of paths for the network (that is, routes to reach the network). The number of paths and the index of the best path are given.

not advertised to any peer

Best path was received with a NO_ADVERTISE community and is not advertised to any neighbor.

not advertised to EBGP peer

Best path was received with a NO_EXPORT community and is not advertised to any eBGP neighbor.

not advertised outside local AS

Best path was received with a LOCAL_AS community and is not advertised to peers outside the local AS.

Advertisements of this net are suppressed by an aggregate

Network is a more-specific prefix of a configured aggregate and has been suppressed. It is not advertised to any neighbors unless they have an unsuppress-map configured.

Advertised to update-groups

List of update-groups to which the net has been advertised. Update-groups that have only one peer are not listed here.

Advertised to peers

List of neighbors to which the net has been advertised to. Neighbors that are in one of the update-groups listed above are not listed separately. Only neighbors that are in unique update-groups are listed.

Received by speaker 0

BGP process where the path originated. This is always “speaker 0” for standalone mode. It will be the speaker-id when BGP is in distributed mode.

AS Path

Autonomous system (AS) path that was received for the path. If the AS path is empty, then “Local” is displayed. This is the case for paths that are locally generated on this router or on a neighboring router within the same AS.

aggregated by

If the path is an aggregate, the router-id of the router that performed the aggregation.

suppressed due to dampening

Path has been suppressed due to the configured path dampening.

history entry

Path is withdrawn, but a copy is kept to store the dampening information.

Received from a RR-client

Path was received from a route reflector client.

received-only

If soft reconfiguration inbound is configured, the path was received but dropped by inbound policy, or was accepted and modified. In either event, the received-only value is a copy of the original, unmodified path.

received & used

If soft reconfiguration inbound is configured, the path was received and accepted by inbound policy, but not modified.

stale

Neighbor from which the path was received is down, and the path is kept and marked as stale to support graceful restart.

<nexthop> from <neighbor> (<router-id>)

Next hop for the path. If the next hop is known by a mechanism outside BGP (for example, for redistributed paths), then 0.0.0.0 is displayed. After the next hop, the neighbor from whom the path was received is displayed, along with the neighbor’s router-id. If the path was locally generated (for example, an aggregate or redistributed path), then 0.0.0.0 is displayed for the neighbor address.

Origin

IGP: the path originated from an IGP.

EGP: the path originated from an EGP.

incomplete: the origin of the path is unknown.

metric

MED value of the path.

localpref

Local preference value. This is used to determine the preferred exit point from the local autonomous system. It is propagated throughout the local autonomous system.

weight

Locally assigned weight (if not 0) of the path. Weight is used in choosing the preferred path to a route. It is not advertised to any neighbor.

valid

Path is valid and can be considered in the best-path calculation.

redistributed

Path is redistributed through a redistribute command.

aggregated

Path is a locally generated aggregate created due to an aggregate-address command.

local

Path is a local network source due to a network command.

internal

Path was received from an iBGP neighbor.

external

Path was received from an eBGP neighbor.

Community

List of communities attached to the path.

Extended community

List of extended communities attached to the path.

Originator

Originator of the path within the AS Cluster list if the path is reflected.

AS Cluster list

List of RR clusters the path has passed through if the path is reflected

penalty

Current penalty for the path.

flapped

Number of times the path has flapped and the time since the first flap.

reuse in

Time until the path is re-used (undampened).

half life

Configured half-life for the path.

suppress value

Penalty at which the path is suppressed.

reuse value

Penalty at which the path is re-used.

The show bgp command output displays 'import suspect' when potential import oscillation has been detected for the prefix. Import of such a prefix is not affected. However, import of the prefix can be dampened in future if the oscillation continues. If the oscillation stops during the next import run, the prefix will no longer be marked 'import supect'.

Field Description

accept-own-self

The Accept Own path in the customer VRF contains the "accept-own-self" keyword/flag.

accept-own

The Accept Own path contains the "accept-own" keyword/flag.

Community:accept-own

List of communities attached to the path: accept-own.

Extended community

List of extended communities attached to the path.

Cluster list

Router ID or cluster ID of all route reflectors through which the route has passed.

The output of show bgp {vpnv4 | vpnv6} unicast rd command may display the optional BGP attribute not-in-vrf. If a path in a VPNvX net is marked as not-in-vrf, it may be due to any of the following conditions:
  • The RD of the VPNvX net is not the same as any of the RDs configured for VRFs on the router.

  • The RD of the VPNvX net is the same as the RD configured for a specific VRF on the router, but the path is not imported to the specified VRF. For example, the route-targets attached to the path do not match any of the import route-target [as-number:nn | ip-address:nn] configured for VRF, vrf_1 .

If the not-in-vrf net is set, it indicates that the path does not belong to the VRF.

In the above example, the routes 3.3.3.3/32 and 5.5.5.5/32 contain both the large communities 1:2:3 and 5:6:7 and some additional large communities.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router#show bgp large-community 1:2:3 5:6:7 exact-match
Thu Mar 23 14:50:28.155 PDT

In the above example, no routes are displayed because the available routes have some additional large-communities, so the match is not exact.

send-community-ebgp

To specify that community or the large community attributes should be sent to an external Border Gateway Protocol (eBGP) neighbor, use the send-community-ebgp command in an appropriate configuration mode. To disable sending community or large community attributes to an eBGP neighbor, use the no form of this command.

send-community-ebgp [inheritance-disable]

no send-community-ebgp [inheritance-disable]

Syntax Description

inheritance-disable

(Optional) Allows configuration inherited from a neighbor group or address family group to be overridden.

Command Default

Community (COMM) attributes are NOT sent to eBGP peers (including PE-CE peers).

Command Modes

IPv4 address family group configuration

IPv6 address family group configuration

IPv4 neighbor address family configuration

IPv4 neighbor group address family configuration

IPv6 neighbor group address family configuration

VRF IPv4 neighbor address family configuration

VPNv4 neighbor address family configuration

VRF IPv6 neighbor address family configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 2.0

This command was introduced.

Release 3.3.0

This command was supported in the VRF IPv4 neighbor address family configuration mode.

Release 3.5.0

This command was supported in VRF IPv6 neighbor address family configuration mode.

Release 3.9.0

The disable keyword was replaced with the inheritance-disable keyword.

Release 6.3.1

This command supports large communities.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the send-community-ebgp command to control whether community or large community attributes are sent to eBGP neighbors. This command cannot be configured for iBGP neighbors as community or large community attributes are always sent to iBGP neighbors.

When IOS XR BGP updates community or large community attributes for eBGP VPN peers (VPNv4 or VPNv6), there is no need to configure the send-community-ebgp command separately. The community attributes are updated by default.

If this command is configured for a neighbor group or address family group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Configuring the command specifically for a neighbor overrides inherited values.

Release 3.8.0

The standby keyword was added.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.


Note

The set default-afi command is used to specify the default address family for the session, and the set default-safi command is used to specify the default subaddress family for the session. See the System Management Command Reference for Cisco CRS Routers for detailed information and syntax for the set default-afi and set default-safi commands. If you do not specify a default address family, the default address family is IPv4. If you do not specify a default subaddress family, the default subaddress family is unicast.


BGP contains a separate routing table for each address family and subaddress family combination that is configured. The address family and subaddress family options specify the routing table to be examined. If the all keyword is specified for the address family or subaddress family, each matching routing table is examined in turn.

Use the show bgp advertised command to display the routes that have been advertised to peers or a specific peer. To preview advertisements that would be sent to a peer under a particular policy, even if the corresponding update messages have not been generated yet, use the show bgp policy command.


Note

When you issue the show bgp advertised command, a route is not displayed in the output unless an advertisement for that route has already been sent (and not withdrawn). If an advertisement for the route has not yet been sent, the route is not displayed.


Use the summary keyword to display a summary of the advertised routes. If you do not specify the summary keyword, the software displays detailed information about the advertised routes.


Note

The show bgp advertised command does not display the application of any outbound policy in the route details it displays. Consequently, this command provides only an indication of whether a particular route has been advertised, rather than details of which attributes were advertised. Use the show bgp policy sent-advertisements command to display the attributes that are advertised.

Table 10. show bgp community Field Descriptions

Field

Description

BGP router identifier

BGP identifier for the local system.

local AS number

Autonomous system number for the local system.

BGP main routing table version

Last version of the BGP database that was installed into the main routing table.

Dampening enabled

Displayed if dampening is enabled for the routes in this BGP routing table.

BGP scan interval

Interval (in seconds) between scans of the BGP table specified by the address family and subaddress family.

Status codes

Status of the table entry. The status is displayed as a three character field at the beginning of each line in the table. The first character may be (in order of precedence):

S—Path is stale, indicating that a graceful restart is in progress with the peer from which the route was learned.

s—Path is more specific than a locally sourced aggregate route and has been suppressed.

*—Path is valid.

The second character may be (in order of precedence):

>—Path is the best path to use for that network.

d—Path is dampened.

h—Path is a history entry, representing a route that is currently withdrawn, but that is being maintained to preserve dampening information. Such routes should never be marked as valid.

The third character may be:

i—Path was learned by an internal BGP (iBGP) session.

Origin codes

Origin of the path. The origin code is displayed at the end of each line in the table. It can be one of the following values:

i—Path originated from an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) and was advertised with a network or aggregate-address command.

e—Path originated from an Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP).

?—Origin of the path is not clear. Usually, this is a route that is redistributed into BGP from an IGP.

Network

IP prefix and prefix length for a network.

Next Hop

IP address of the next system that is used when a packet is forwarded to the destination network. An entry of 0.0.0.0 indicates that the router has a non-BGP route to this network.

Metric

Value of the interautonomous system metric, otherwise known as the Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) metric.

LocPrf

Local preference value. This is used to determine the preferred exit point from the local autonomous system. It is propagated throughout the local autonomous system.

Weight

Path weight. Weight is used in choosing the preferred path to a route. It is not advertised to any neighbor.

Path

Autonomous system path to the destination network. At the end of the path is the origin code for the path.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.


Note

The set default-afi command is used to specify the default address family for the session, and the set default-safi command is used to specify the default subaddress family for the session. See the System Management Command Reference for Cisco CRS Routers for detailed information and syntax for the set default-afi and set default-safi commands. If you do not specify a default address family, the default address family is IPv4. If you do not specify a default subaddress family, the default subaddress family is unicast.


Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) contains a separate routing table for each configured address family and subaddress family combination. The address family and subaddress family options specify the routing table to be examined. If the all keyword is specified for the address family or subaddress family, each matching routing table is examined in turn.

Use the show bgp convergence command to see if there is any pending work for BGP to perform. The software checks the following conditions to determine whether the specified address family has converged. If all the conditions are true, the address family is considered converged.

  • All received updates have been processed and best routes selected.
  • All selected routes have been installed in the global Routing Information Base (RIB).
  • All selected routes have been advertised to peers, including any peers that are not established (unless those peers have been administratively shut down). See the shutdown (BGP) command for more information about administrative shutdown.

While testing that all selected routes have been advertised to peers, the show bgp convergence command checks the size of the write queue for each neighbor. Because this queue is shared by all address families, there is a small possibility that the command indicates the address family has not converged when, in fact, it has converged. This could happen if the neighbor write queue contained messages from some other address family.

If the specified address family has not converged, the show bgp convergence command output does not indicate the amount of work that is pending. To display this information, use theshow bgp summary command.

Table 13. show bgp flap-statistics Field Descriptions

Field

Description

BGP route identifier

BGP identifier for the local system.

local AS number

Autonomous system number for the local system.

BGP main routing table version

Last version of the BGP database that was installed into the main routing table.

Dampening enabled

Displayed if dampening has been enabled for the routes in this BGP routing table.

BGP scan interval

Interval (in seconds) between scans of the BGP table specified by the address family and subaddress family.

Status codes

Status of the table entry. The status is displayed as a three-character field at the beginning of each line in the table. The first character may be (in order of precedence):

S—Path is stale, indicating that a graceful restart is in progress with the peer from which the route was learned.

s—Path is more specific than a locally sourced aggregate route and has been suppressed.

*—Path is valid.

The second character may be (in order of precedence):

>—Path is the best path to use for that network.

d—Path is dampened.

h—Path is a history entry, representing a route that is currently withdrawn, but that is being maintained to preserve dampening information. Such routes should never be marked as valid.

The third character may be:

i—Path was learned by an internal BGP (iBGP) session.

Origin codes

Origin of the path. The origin code is displayed at the end of each line in the table. It can be one of the following values:

i—Path originated from an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) and was advertised with a network or aggregate-address command.

e—Path originated from an Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP).

?—Origin of the path is not clear. Usually, this is a route that is redistributed into BGP from an IGP.

Network

IP prefix and prefix length for a network that is dampened.

From

IP address of the peer that advertised this route.

Flaps

Number of times the route has flapped.

Duration

Time (in hours:minutes:seconds) since the first flap.

Reuse

Time (in hours:minutes:seconds) after which the path is made available.

Path

Autonomous system path of the route that is being dampened.

Half life

Half-life value used when dampening this route. The half-life is the amount of time that must elapse to reduce the reuse penalty by half. The half-life value is specified using the bgp dampening command.

Suppress

Suppress value used to dampen this route. The suppress value is the value that the penalty must exceed for the route to be suppressed. The suppress value can be configured using the bgp dampening command.

Reuse penalty

Reuse penalty used to dampen this route. The penalty must fall below the reuse penalty for the route to be unsuppressed. The reuse penalty can be configured using the bgp dampening command.

Max supp. time

Maximum length of time that the route may be suppressed due to dampening. The maximum suppress time can be configured using the bgp dampening command.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.


Note

The set default-afi command is used to specify the default address family for the session, and the set default-safi command is used to specify the default subaddress family for the session. See the System Management Command Reference for Cisco CRS Routers for detailed information and syntax for the set default-afi and set default-safi commands. If you do not specify a default address family, the default address family is IPv4. If you do not specify a default subaddress family, the default subaddress family is unicast.


BGP contains a separate routing table for each configured address family and subaddress family combination. The address family and subaddress family options specify the routing table to be examined. If the all keyword is specified for the address family or for the subaddress family, each matching routing table is examined in turn.

Use the show bgp inconsistent-as command to search through all prefixes in the specified BGP routing table and display the paths for any prefix that has inconsistent originating autonomous system numbers. The originating autonomous system is the last autonomous system number displayed in the path field and should be the same for all paths.

If a prefix has one or more paths originating from different autonomous systems, all paths for that prefix are displayed.

The configuration source is shown to the right of each command. In the output, the remote-as command is configured directly on neighbor group group1, and the send-community-ebgp command is inherited from neighbor group group2, which in turn inherits the setting from af-group group2.

The following is sample output from the show bgp neighbor-group command with the users keyword. This output shows that the group1 neighbor group inherits session (address family-independent configuration parameters) from the group2 neighbor group. The group1 neighbor group also inherits IPv4 unicast configuration parameters from the group2 neighbor group:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show bgp neighbor-group group2 users

Session:      n:group1
IPv4 Unicast: n:group1

The following is sample output from the show bgp neighbor-group command with the inheritance keyword. This output shows that the specified neighbor group group1 inherits session (address family-independent configuration) from neighbor group group2, which inherits its own session from neighbor group group3. Neighbor group group3 inherited its session from session group group3. It also shows that the group1 neighbor-group inherits IPv4 unicast configuration parameters from the group2 neighbor group, which in turn inherits them from the group2 af-group, which itself inherits them from the group3 af-group:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show bgp neighbor-group group1 inheritance

Note

The set default-afi command is used to specify the default address family for the session, and the set default-safi command is used to specify the default subaddress family for the session. See the System Management Command Reference for Cisco CRS Routers for detailed information and syntax for the set default-afi and set default-safi commands. If you do not specify a default address family, the default address family is IPv4. If you do not specify a default subaddress family, the default subaddress family is unicast.


BGP contains a separate routing table for each configured address family and subaddress family combination. The address family and subaddress family options specify which routing table should be examined. If the all keyword is specified for address family or subaddress family, each matching routing table is examined in turn.

Use the show bgp neighbors command to display detailed information about all neighbors or a specific neighbor. Use the performance-statistics keyword to display information about the work related to specific neighbors done by the BGP process.

Use the show bgp neighbors command with the ip-address received prefix-filter argument and keyword to display the Outbound Route Filter (ORF) received from a neighbor.

Use the advertised-routes keyword to display a summary of the routes advertised to the specified neighbor.

Use the dampened-routes keyword to display routes received from the specified neighbor that have been suppressed due to dampening. For more details, see the show bgp dampened-paths command.

To display information about flapping routes received from a neighbor, use the flap-statistics keyword. For more details, see the show bgp flap-statistics command.

To display the routes received from a neighbor, use the routes keyword. For more details, see the show bgp command.

Use the show bgp neighbor command with the ip-address configuration argument and keyword to display the effective configuration of a neighbor, including configuration inherited from session groups, neighbor groups, or af-groups through application of the use command. Use the defaults keyword to display the value of all configurations for the neighbor, including default configuration. Use the nvgen keyword to display configuration output format of the show running-config command. Output in this format is suitable for cutting and pasting into a configuration session. Use the show bgp neighbors command with the ip-address inheritance argument and keyword to display the session groups, neighbor groups, and af-groups from which the specified neighbor inherits configuration.

This table describes the significant fields shown in the display.

Table 18. show bgp neighbors routes Field Descriptions

Field

Description

BGP router identifier

BGP identifier for the local system.

local AS number

Autonomous system number for the local system.

BGP main routing table version

Last version of the BGP database that was installed into the main routing table.

Dampening enabled

Displayed if dampening is enabled for the routes in this BGP routing table.

BGP scan interval

Interval (in seconds) between scans of the BGP table specified by the address family and subaddress family.

Status codes

Status of the table entry. The status is displayed as a three-character field at the beginning of each line in the table. The first character may be (in order of precedence):

S—Path is stale, indicating that a graceful restart is in progress with the peer from which the route was learned.

s—Path is more specific than a locally sourced aggregate route and has been suppressed.

*—Path is valid.

The second character may be (in order of precedence):

>—Path is the best path to use for that network.

d—Path is dampened.

h—Path is a history entry, representing a route that is currently withdrawn, but that is being maintained to preserve dampening information. Such routes should never be marked as valid.

The third character may be:

i—Path was learned by an internal BGP (iBGP) session.

Origin codes

Origin of the path. The origin code is displayed at the end of each line in the table. It can be one of the following values:

i—Path originated from an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) and was advertised with a network or aggregate-address command.

e—Path originated from an Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP).

?—Origin of the path is not clear. Usually, this is a route that is redistributed into BGP from an IGP.

Network

IP prefix and prefix length for a network.

Next Hop

IP address of the next system that is used when a packet is forwarded to the destination network. An entry of 0.0.0.0 indicates that the router has a non-BGP route to this network.

Metric

Value of the interautonomous system metric, otherwise known as the Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) metric.

LocPrf

Local preference value. This is used to determine the preferred exit point from the local autonomous system. It is propagated throughout the local autonomous system.

Weight

Path weight. Weight is used in choosing the preferred path to a route. It is not advertised to any neighbor.

Path

Autonomous system path to the destination network. At the end of the path is the origin code for the path.

Table 19. show bgp neighbors dampened-routes Field Descriptions

Field

Description

BGP router identifier

BGP identifier for the local system.

local AS number

Autonomous system number for the local system.

BGP main routing table version

Last version of the BGP database that was installed into the main routing table.

Dampening enabled

Displayed if dampening is enabled for the routes in this BGP routing table.

BGP scan interval

Interval (in seconds) between scans of the BGP table specified by the address family and subaddress family.

Status codes

Status of the table entry. The status is displayed as a three-character field at the beginning of each line in the table. The first character may be (in order of precedence):

S—Path is stale, indicating that a graceful restart is in progress with the peer from which the route was learned.

s—Path is more specific than a locally sourced aggregate route and has been suppressed.

*—Path is valid.

The second character may be (in order of precedence):

>—Path is the best path to use for that network.

d—Path is dampened.

h—Path is a history entry, representing a route that is currently withdrawn, but that is being maintained to preserve dampening information. Such routes should never be marked as valid.

The third character may be:

i—Path was learned by an internal BGP (iBGP) session.

Origin codes

Origin of the path. The origin code is displayed at the end of each line in the table. It can be one of the following values:

i—Path originated from an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) and was advertised with a network or aggregate-address command.

e—Path originated from an Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP).

?—Origin of the path is not clear. Usually, this is a route that is redistributed into BGP from an IGP.

Network

IP prefix and prefix length for a network.

From

Neighbor from which the route was received.

Reuse

Time (in hours:minutes:seconds) after which the path is made available.

Path

Autonomous system path to the destination network. At the end of the path is the origin code for the path.

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The show bgp nexthops command displays statistical information about next-hop notifications, the time spent processing the notifications, and details about each next-hop that has been registered with the Routing Information Base (RIB).

Use the vrf vrf-name keyword and argument to display only the next-hops present in the specified VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instance.

The next-hop information is displayed for all active speaker processes in distributed mode. Each speaker displays a set of next-hops that belongs to the prefixes received by the speaker and next hops that belong to best paths that were received by other speaker processes. Use the speaker speaker-id keyword and argument to display information for only the specified speaker process.

Asplain format for 4-byte Autonomous system numbers notation was supported. The input parameters and output were modified to display 4-byte autonomous system numbers and extended communities in either asplain or asdot notations.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the show bgp paths command to display information about AS paths and the associated attributes with which the paths were received.

If no options are specified, all stored AS paths are displayed with the number of routes using each path.


Note

The AS path information is stored independently of the address family, making it possible that routes from different address families could be using the same path.


Use the regular-expression argument to limit the output to only those paths that match the specified regular expression. See the Cisco IOS XR Getting Started Guide for the Cisco CRS Router for information on regular expressions.

Use the detail keyword to display detailed information on the attributes stored with the AS path.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.


Note

The set default-afi command is used to specify the default address family for the session, and the set default-safi command is used to specify the default subaddress family for the session. See the System Management Command Reference for Cisco CRS Routers for detailed information and syntax for the set default-afi and set default-safi commands. If you do not specify a default address family, the default address family is IPv4. If you do not specify a default subaddress family, the default subaddress family is unicast.


BGP contains a separate routing table for each configured address family and subaddress family combination. The address family and subaddress family options specify the routing table to be examined. If the all keyword is specified for the address family or subaddress family, each matching routing table is examined in turn.

Use the show bgp policy command to display routes that would be advertised to neighbors under a proposed policy. Unlike in the show bgp advertised command, the information displayed reflects any modifications made to the routes when executing the specified policy.

Use the neighbor keyword to limit the output to routes advertised to a particular neighbor. Use the sent-advertisements keyword to change the output in two ways:

  • If a policy is not specified explicitly, any policy configured on the neighbor (using the route-policy (BGP) command) is executed before displaying the routes.
  • Only routes that have already been advertised to the neighbor (and not withdrawn) are displayed. Routes that have not yet been advertised are not displayed.

Use the summary keyword to display abbreviated output.

Command Default

If no address family or subaddress family is specified, the default address family and subaddress family specified using the set default-afi and set default-safi commands are used.

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 2.0

This command was introduced.

Release 3.3.0

The following keywords and argument were added:

  • vrf { vrf-name | all }
  • [ ipv4 { unicast | labeled-unicast }]
  • vpnv4 unicast

Release 3.5.0

The vpnv6 unicast keywords were added.

The tunnel and mdt keywords were supported under the ipv4 and all address families.

The labeled-unicast keyword was supported under the ipv6 and all address families.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.


Note

The set default-afi command is used to specify the default address family for the session, and the set default-safi command is used to specify the default subaddress family for the session. See the System Management Command Reference for Cisco CRS Routers for detailed information and syntax for the set default-afi and set default-safi commands. If you do not specify a default address family, the default address family is IPv4. If you do not specify a default subaddress family, the default subaddress family is unicast.


BGP contains a separate routing table for each configured address family and subaddress family combination. The address family and subaddress family options specify the routing table to be examined. If the all keyword is specified for the address family or subaddress family, each matching routing table is examined in turn.

Use the show bgp regexp command to display all routes in the specified BGP table whose autonomous system path is matched by the specified regular expression.


Note

If the regular expression contains spaces and parentheses, it must be specified and surrounded by quotation marks.

This table describes the significant fields shown in the display.

Table 32. show bgp regexp Field Descriptions

Field

Description

BGP router identifier

BGP identifier for the local system.

local AS number

Autonomous system number for the local system.

Dampening enabled

Displayed if dampening has been enabled for the routes in this BGP routing table.

BGP main routing table version

Last version of the BGP database that was installed into the main routing table.

BGP scan interval

Interval (in seconds) between scans of the BGP table specified by the address family and subaddress family.

Status codes

Status of the table entry. The status is displayed as a three-character field at the beginning of each line in the table. The first character may be (in order of precedence):

S—Path is stale, indicating that a graceful restart is in progress with the peer from which the route was learned.

s—Path is more specific than a locally sourced aggregate route and has been suppressed.

*—Path is valid.

The second character may be (in order of precedence):

>—Path is the best path to use for that network.

d—Path is dampened.

h—Path is a history entry, representing a route that is currently withdrawn, but that is being maintained to preserve dampening information. Such routes should never be marked as valid.

The third character may be:

i—Path was learned by an internal BGP (iBGP) session.

Origin codes

Origin of the path. The origin code is placed at the end of each line in the table. It can be one of the following values:

i—Path originated from an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) and was advertised with a network or aggregate-address command.

e—Path originated from an Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP).

?—Origin of the path is not clear. Usually, this is a route that is redistributed into BGP from an IGP.

Network

IP address of a network entity.

Next Hop

IP address of the next system that is used when a packet is forwarded to the destination network. An entry of 0.0.0.0 indicates that the router has a non-BGP route to this network.

Metric

Value of the interautonomous system metric, otherwise known as the Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) metric.

LocPrf

Local preference value. This is used to determine the preferred exit point from the local autonomous system. It is propagated throughout the local autonomous system.

Weight

Path weight. Weight is used in choosing the preferred path to a route. It is not advertised to any neighbor.

Path

Autonomous system path to the destination network. At the end of the path is the origin code for the path.

show bgp route-policy

To display Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) information about networks that match an outbound route policy, use the show bgp route-policy command in EXEC mode.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.


Note

The set default-afi command is used to specify the default address family for the session, and the set default-safi command is used to specify the default subaddress family for the session. See the System Management Command Reference for Cisco CRS Routers for detailed information and syntax for the set default-afi and set default-safi commands. If you do not specify a default address family, the default address family is IPv4. If you do not specify a default subaddress family, the default subaddress family is unicast.


BGP contains a separate routing table for each address family and subaddress family combination that has been configured. The address family and subaddress family options specify the routing table to be examined. If the all keyword is specified for the address family or subaddress family, each matching routing table is examined.

A route policy must be configured to use this command. When the show bgp route-policy command is entered, routes in the specified BGP table are compared with the specified route policy, and all routes passed by the route policy are displayed.

If a pass clause is encountered while the route policy is being applied to the route and the route policy processing completes without hitting a drop clause, the route is displayed. The route is not displayed if a drop clause is encountered, if the route policy processing completes without hitting a pass clause, or if the specified route policy does not exist.

The information displayed does not reflect modifications the policy might make to the route. To display such modifications, use the show bgp policy command.

This table describes the significant fields shown in the display.

Table 33. show bgp route-policy Field Descriptions

Field

Description

BGP router identifier

BGP identifier for the local system.

local AS number

Autonomous system number for the local system.

BGP main routing table version

Last version of the BGP database that was installed into the main routing table.

Dampening enabled

Displayed if dampening is enabled for the routes in this BGP routing table.

BGP scan interval

Interval (in seconds) between scans of the BGP table specified by the address family and subaddress family.

Status codes

Status of the table entry. The status is displayed as a three-character field at the beginning of each line in the table. The first character may be (in order of precedence):

S—Path is stale, indicating that a graceful restart is in progress with the peer from which the route was learned.

s—Path is more specific than a locally sourced aggregate route and has been suppressed.

*—Path is valid.

The second character may be (in order of precedence):

>—Path is the best path to use for that network.

d—Path is dampened.

h—Path is a history entry, representing a route that is currently withdrawn, but that is being maintained to preserve dampening information. Such routes should never be marked as valid.

The third character may be:

i—Path was learned by an internal BGP (iBGP) session.

Origin codes

Origin of the path. The origin code is displayed at the end of each line in the table. It can be one of the following values:

i—Path originated from an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) and was advertised with a network or aggregate-address command.

e—Path originated from an Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP).

?—Origin of the path is not clear. Usually, this is a route that is redistributed into BGP from an IGP.

Network

IP prefix and prefix length for a network.

Next Hop

IP address of the next system that is used when a packet is forwarded to the destination network. An entry of 0.0.0.0 indicates that the router has a non-BGP route to this network.

Metric

Value of the interautonomous system metric, otherwise known as the Multi Exit discriminator (MED) metric.

LocPrf

Local preference value. This is used to determine the preferred exit point from the local autonomous system. It is propagated throughout the local autonomous system.

Weight

Path weight. Weight is used in choosing the preferred path to a route. It is not advertised to any neighbor.

Path

Autonomous system path to the destination network. At the end of the path is the origin code for the path.

show bgp session-group

To display information about the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) configuration for session groups, use the show bgp session-group command in EXEC mode.

show bgp session-group group-name {configuration [defaults] [nvgen] | inheritance | users}

Syntax Description

group-name

Name of the session family group to display.

configuration

(Optional) Displays the effective configuration for the session group, including any inherited configuration.

defaults

(Optional) Displays all configuration, including default configuration.

nvgen

(Optional) Displays output in the form of the show running-config command.

If the defaults keyword also is specified, the output is not suitable for cutting and pasting into a configuration session.

inheritance

(Optional) Displays the session groups from which this session group inherits configuration.

users

(Optional) Display the session groups, neighbor groups, and neighbors that inherit configuration from this session group.

Command Default

No default behavior or value

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the show bgp session-group command with the group-name configuration argument and keyword to display the effective configuration of a session group, including any configuration inherited from other session groups through application of the use command. The source for each configured command is also displayed.

Use the defaults keyword to display the value of all configuration, including default configuration. Use the nvgen keyword to display configuration in the form of the show running-config command output. Output in this form is suitable for cutting and pasting into a configuration session.

Use the show bgp session-group command with the group-name inheritance argument and keyword to display the session groups from which the specified session group inherits configuration.

Use the show bgp session-group command with the group-name users argument and keyword to display the neighbors, neighbor groups, and session groups that inherit configuration from the specified session group.

  dmzlink-bw
 !
 session-group group1
  use session-group group2
  update-source Loopback0
 !
 session-group group2
  use session-group group3
  ebgp-multihop 2

The following example shows the show bgp session-group command with the configuration keyword:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show bgp session-group group1 configuration  

session-group group1
 advertisement-interval 5[s:group2 s:group3]
 ebgp-multihop 2         [s:group2]
 update-source Loopback0 []
 dmzlink-bandwidth              [s:group2 s:group3]

The source of each command is shown to the right of the command. For example, update-source is configured directly on session group group1. The dmzlink-bandwidth command is inherited from session group group2, which in turn inherits it from session group group3.

The following example shows the show bgp session-group command with the users keyword:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show bgp session-group group2 users

IPv4 Unicast:a:group1

The following example shows the show bgp session-group command with the inheritance keyword.


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show bgp session-group group1 inheritance

Session:s:group2 s:group3

The command output shows that the session group group1 directly uses the group2 session group. The group2 session group uses the group3 session group.

See System Management Command Reference for Cisco CRS Routers for detailed information and syntax for the set default-afi and set default-safi commands. If you do not specify a default address family, the default address family is IPv4. If you do not specify a default subaddress family, the default subaddress family is unicast.


Use the show bgp summary command to display a summary of the neighbors for which the specified address family and subaddress family are enabled. If the neighbor does not have the specified address family and subaddress family enabled, it is not included in the output of the show command. If the all keyword is specified for the address family or subaddress family, a summary for each combination of address family and subaddress family is displayed in turn.

The table versions shown in the output (RcvTblVer, bRIB/RIB, SendTblVer, and TblVer) are specific to the specified address family and subaddress family. All other information is global.

The table versions provide an indication of whether BGP is up to date with all work for the specified address family and subaddress family.

  • bRIB/RIB < RecvTblVer—Some received routes have not yet been considered for installation in the global routing table.
  • TblVer < SendTblVer—Some received routes have been installed in the global routing table but have not yet been considered for advertisement to this neighbor.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.


Note

The set default-afi command is used to specify the default address family for the session, and the set default-safi command is used to specify the default subaddress family for the session. See the System Management Command Reference for Cisco CRS Routers for detailed information and syntax for the set default-afi and set default-safi commands. If you do not specify a default address family, the default address family is IPv4. If you do not specify a default subaddress family, the default subaddress family is unicast.


BGP contains a separate routing table for each address family and subaddress family combination that has been configured. The address family and subaddress family options specify the routing table to be examined. If the all keyword is specified for the address family or subaddress family, each matching routing table is examined.

Use the show bgp truncated-communities command to display those routes in the specified BGP routing table in which the buffers used to store communities or extended communities have overflowed. An overflow occurs if an attempt is made to associate more communities or extended communities with the route than fits in a BGP update message. This can happen due to modification of communities or extended communities during aggregration or when inbound policy is applied.

Table 39. show bgp truncated-communities Field Descriptions

Field

Description

BGP router identifier

BGP Identifier for the local system.

local AS number

Autonomous system number for the local system.

BGP main routing table version

Last version of the BGP database that was installed into the main routing table.

Dampening enabled

Displayed if dampening is enabled for the routes in this BGP routing table.

BGP scan interval

Interval (in seconds) between scans of the BGP table specified by the address family and subaddress family.

Status codes

Status of the table entry. The status is displayed as a three-character field at the beginning of each line in the table. The first character may be (in order of precedence):

S—Path is stale, indicating that a graceful restart is in progress with the peer from which the route was learned.

s—Path is more specific than a locally sourced aggregate route and has been suppressed.

*—Path is valid.

The second character may be (in order of precedence):

>—Path is the best path to use for that network.

d—Path is dampened.

h—Path is a history entry, representing a route that is currently withdrawn, but that is being maintained to preserve dampening information. Such routes should never be marked as valid.

The third character may be:

i—Path was learned by an internal BGP (iBGP) session.

Origin codes

Origin of the path. The origin code is displayed at the end of each line in the table. It can be one of the following values:

i—Path originated from an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) and was advertised with a network or aggregate-address command.

e—Path originated from an Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP).

?—Origin of the path is not clear. Usually, this is a route that is redistributed into BGP from an IGP.

Network

IP prefix and prefix length for a network.

Next Hop

IP address of the next system that is used when a packet is forwarded to the destination network. An entry of 0.0.0.0 indicates that the router has a non-BGP route to this network.

Metric

Value of the interautonomous system metric, otherwise known as the Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) metric.

LocPrf

Local preference value. This is used to determine the preferred exit point from the local autonomous system. It is propagated throughout the local autonomous system.

Weight

Path weight. Weight is used in choosing the preferred path to a route. It is not advertised to any neighbor.

Path

Autonomous system path to the destination network. At the end of the path is the origin code for the path.

show bgp update-group

Release

Modification

Release 2.0

This command was introduced.

Release 3.3.0

The following keywords and argument were added:

  • vrf { vrf-name | all }
  • [ ipv4 { unicast | labeled-unicast }]
  • [ vpnv4 unicast ]

Release 3.5.0

The vpnv6 unicast keywords were added.

Usage Guidelines


Note

The set default-afi command is used to specify the default address family for the session, and the set default-safi command is used to specify the default subaddress family for the session. See the System Management Command Reference for Cisco CRS Routers for detailed information and syntax for the set default-afi and set default-safi commands. If you do not specify a default address family, the default address family is IPv4. If you do not specify a default subaddress family, the default subaddress family is unicast.


Every BGP neighbor is automatically assigned to an update group for each address family that is enabled on the neighbor. Neighbors that have similar outbound policy, such that they are sent the same updates, are placed in the same update group.

Use the show bgp update-group command to display the update groups and a list of the neighbors that belong to the update group.

Use the show bgp update-group neighbor command to display details about the update group to which a neighbor belongs for the specified address family.

Use the summary keyword to display a summary of the neighbors belonging to the specified update group. The display format is the same as for the show bgp summary command.

Use the performance-statistics keyword to display information about the number of prefixes processed and the time taken to generate updates for the specified update group.


Note

Update group indexes are not necessarily persistent over a process restart. If a BGP process restarts, the index of the update group to which a particular neighbor is assigned may be different, though the set of neighbors belonging to the update group is the same.

shutdown (BGP)

To disable a neighbor without removing its configuration, use the shutdown command in an appropriate configuration mode. To re-enable the neighbor and reestablish a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) session, use the no form of this command.

shutdown [inheritance-disable]

no shutdown [inheritance-disable]

Syntax Description

inheritance-disable

(Optional) Overrides the value of a shutdown command inherited from a neighbor group or session group.

Command Default

Neighbors are not shutdown.

Command Modes

Neighbor configuration

VRF neighbor configuration

Neighbor group configuration

Session group configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 2.0

This command was introduced.

Release 3.3.0

This command was supported in the VRF neighbor configuration mode.

Release 3.9.0

The disable keyword was replaced with the inheritance-disable keyword.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the shutdown command to terminate any active session for the specified neighbor and remove all associated routing information. Use of the shutdown command with a neighbor group or session group may suddenly terminate a large number of BGP neighbor sessions because all neighbors using the neighbor group or session group may be affected.

Use the show bgp summary command to display a summary of BGP neighbors. Neighbors that are idle due to the shutdown command are displayed with the “Idle (Admin)” state.

If this command is configured for a neighbor group or session group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

When routes are advertised to the peer, routes whose extended communities list contain the site of origin (SoO) are filtered out and not advertised to the peer. Site-of-origin uniquely identifies the site from which the provide edge (PE) router learned routes, thus filtering based on the extended community helps prevent transient routing loops from occurring in complex and mixed network topologies.

The disable keyword was replaced with the inheritance-disable keyword.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

To filter or modify some of the updates received from a neighbor, you configure an inbound policy using the route-policy (BGP) command. Configuring soft reconfiguration inbound causes the software to store the original unmodified route beside a route that is modified or filtered. This allows a “soft clear” to be performed after the inbound policy is changed. To perform a soft clear, use the clear bgp soft command with the in keyword specified. The unmodified routes are then passed through the new policy and installed in the BGP table.


Note

If an address family group, neighbor group, or session group is configured, the configuration inside these configuration groups will not be effective unless it is applied directly or indirectly to one or more neighbors.



Note

The bgp auto-policy-soft-reset is enabled by default. A soft clear is done automatically when the inbound policy configured with the route-policy (BGP) command is changed. This behavior can be changed by disabling the auto-policy-soft-reset using the bgp auto-policy-soft-reset disable command.


If the neighbor supports the route refresh capability, then the original routes are not stored because they can be retrieved from the neighbor through a route refresh request. However, if the always keyword is specified, the original routes are stored even when the neighbor supports the route refresh capability.

If the soft-reconfiguration inbound command is not configured and the neighbor does not support the route refresh capability, then an inbound soft clear is not possible. In that case, the only way to rerun the inbound policy is to use the clear bgp ip-address command to reset the neighbor BGP session.


Note

If there is an existing BGP session with a neighbor that does not support the route refresh capability, the session is terminated and a new one is initiated.



Note

The extra routes stored as a result of configuring this command use more memory on the router.


If you configure this command for a neighbor group or neighbor address family group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

Note

Table policy provides users with the ability to drop routes from the RIB based on match criteria. This feature can be useful in certain applications and should be used with caution as it can easily create a routing ‘black hole’ where BGP advertises routes to neighbors that BGP does not install in its global routing table and forwarding table.

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The timers actually used in connection with the neighbor may not be the same as those configured with this command. The actual timers are negotiated with the neighbor when establishing the session. The negotiated hold time is the minimum of the configured time and the hold time received from the neighbor. If the negotiated hold time is 0, keepalives are disabled.

The configured value for the keepalive must not exceed one-third of the negotiated hold time. If it does, a value of one-third of the negotiated hold time is used.

If this command is configured for a neighbor group or neighbor address family group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

In cases where mechanisms such as Bi-directional Forwarding Detection (BFD), BGP fast-external-failover or Next-hop Tracking cannot be employed to detect and react to changes in the network in a faster manner, BGP Keepalive and Hold-timer values can be configured to use smaller values than the default (60 and 180 seconds respectively). When using aggressive values, consider the router's profile and scale, particularly in respect to the number of BGP neighbours that will be using sessions with the non-default timers.

Sessions using very aggressive values will be more susceptible to flap during events that cause the Route-Processor's CPU utilization levels to increase. Such events include component OIR, Route-Processor Failover, network instability, excessive churn in routing protocols etc. It is therefore recommended that the desired scale and profile of the router be tested with the non-default timer values, subjecting the router to CPU-intensive events in order to determine the timer threshold values that are appropriate for the router before configuring the values in an operational network.

The BGP Non-Stop Routing (NSR) is able to sustain sessions with more aggressive timer values than BGP Graceful Restart (GR) since in the event of a Route-Processor Failover, Graceful Restart (GR) requires the re-establishment of the TCP session over which the BGP session takes place. When using Non-Stop Routing (NSR), both the underlying TCP session and BGP session are maintained during Route-Processor failover.

The transport can be set to either TCP or SSH. An SSH transport session with port number 22 is the recommended transport between router and RPKI cache for security reasons.

The transport method (TCP or SSH) can be configured on a per-RPKI-server basis: once server can be TCP port 980, another can be SSH port 22, for example. This can be changed by configuration.

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the ttl-security command to enable a lightweight security mechanism to protect eBGP peering sessions from CPU utilization-based and other resource exhaustion-based attacks. These types of attacks are typically brute-force Denial of Service (DoS) attacks that attempt to disable the network by flooding devices in the network with IP packets that contain forged source and destination IP addresses in the packet headers.

This command leverages existing behavior in IP packets. For a given IP packet, the TTL count of the packet always is equal to or less than the TTL count when the packet originated, a behavior that is considered impossible to circumvent. Therefore, a packet received with a TTL count equal to the maximum TTL value of 255 can be sent only by a directly adjacent peer. When the ttl-security command is configured for an eBGP neighbor that is directly adjacent, the router accepts only IP packets with a TTL count that is equal to the maximum TTL value.

The ttl-security command secures the eBGP session in the incoming direction only. In the outbound direction, it causes packets to be sent only with the maximum TTL value so that the BGP neighbor can also verify the TTL value of incoming packets. When this command is enabled, BGP establishes or maintains a session only if the TTL value in the IP packet header is equal to the maximum TTL value. If the value is less than the maximum TTL value, the packet is discarded and an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) message is not generated. This behavior is designed because a response to a forged packet is not necessary.


Note

The ttl-security command must be configured on each participating router. Failure to configure this command on both ends of the BGP session results in the session progressing as far as the OpenSent or OpenConfirm state, remaining there until the hold time expires.


The following restrictions apply to the configuration of this command:

  • The ttl-security command should not be configured for a peer that is already configured with the neighbor ebgp-multihop command. The simultaneous configuration of these commands is permitted; however, the ttl-security command overrides the ebgp-multihop command.
  • This command is not supported for internal BGP (iBGP) peers.
  • This command is not effective against attacks from a directly adjacent peer that has been compromised.

If you configure this command for a neighbor group or session group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.


Note

If the ttl-security command is configured on a neighbor to which the router has an established connection or the router is in the process of establishing a connection, the session must be cleared using the clear bgp command.

update in labeled-unicast equivalent

To treat SAFIs unicast and labelled unicast for a given neighbor as same, use the update in labeled-unicast equivalent command in neighbor configuration mode. This command was introduced for interoperability between Cisco IOS XR and IOS XE systems. For example, If the XE router advertises ipv4 unicast and then withdraw with the ipv4 label-unicast of the same route, with knob enabled, then the BGP in the receiving XR router treats both of them same. Hence BGP removes the prefix information from its database.

The update-source command is commonly used with the loopback interface feature for iBGP sessions. The loopback interface is defined, and the interface address is used as the endpoint for a BGP session through the update-source command. This mechanism allows a BGP session to remain up even if the outbound interface goes down, provided there is another route to the neighbor.

If this command is configured for a neighbor group or session group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The use command configures inheritance of configuration from an address family group, neighbor group, or session group, which means that any configuration for the group also takes effect for the user of the group.

The configuration inherited depends on the type of group that is specified. The group types are described in the following sections:

Address Family Group

An address family group can specify a configuration for only a single address family. The address family specified when the address family group was defined (through the af-group command) must match the address family from which the group is used.

Neighbor Group

A neighbor group (like a neighbor) can have address family-independent configuration and address family-specific configuration. All of these configurations could be inherited.

Session Group

A session group can have only address family-independent configuration and thus only address family-independent configuration is inherited from it.

The following rules govern inheritance to resolve possible conflicting configuration:

  1. If a command is configured directly on the neighbor that is using group configuration, the command overrides the value that would be normally inherited from the group.
  2. If the neighbor is configured to use a session group (for address family-independent configuration) or an address family group (for address family-specific configuration) and the command is configured for the session group or address family group, that configuration is used.
  3. The neighbor group configuration is used:

    • If the command is not configured directly on the neighbor and the neighbor is not using a session group (for address family-independent configuration) or an af-group (for address family-specific configuration).

    • The neighbor is using a neighbor group and the command is configured on the neighbor group.

Typically, all configuration for a neighbor group is inherited, but some characteristics may be masked by a session group or address family group. For an example of this configuration, see the “Examples” section.

If the neighbor is using both a session group and a neighbor group and a specific command is configured for the neighbor group but not for the session group, then the configuration for the neighbor group does not take effect. The session group “hides” all address family-independent configuration on the neighbor group and prevents it from being inherited. Similarly, the use of an address family group hides any address family-specific configuration that may otherwise be inherited from a neighbor group for that address family.

In addition to neighbors using groups, it is possible to build a hierarchy by having groups use other groups. The following hierarchical groups are permitted:

  • Session groups may use other session groups.
  • Address family groups may use other address family groups.
  • Neighbor groups may use other neighbor groups.
  • Neighbor groups may use session groups and address family groups.

Note

Within the Cisco IOS XR system configuration architecture, do not combine the remote-as command and the no use neighbor-group command in the same commit, or the remote-as command and the no use session-group command in the same commit.

The following example shows how to define a session group session1 and configure neighbor 172.168.40.24 to use session1. As a result, the session1 configuration takes effect on the neighbor also.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# use session-group session1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# exit

The following example is similar to the previous example, but in this case the timers command on the session group does not take effect on the neighbor because it is overridden by a timers command directly configured for the neighbor.


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# session-group session1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-sngrp)# advertisement-interval 40

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# timers 60 180
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# exit

The following example shows an address family group, family1, for IPv4 multicast and a neighbor group, neighbor1, that have IPv4 unicast and IPv4 multicast enabled. In this case, the neighbor inherits IPv4 unicast (and address family-independent) configuration from the neighbor group, but inherits IPv4 multicast configuration from the address family group. In this example, the neighbor group also has a remote autonomous system configured, so there is no need to configure a remote autonomous system for the neighbor because it inherits the remote autonomous system from the neighbor group:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# af-group family1 address-family ipv4 multicast
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-afgrp)# route-policy mcast-in in
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-afgrp)# exit
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# neighbor-group neighbor1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp)# remote-as 2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp)# address-family ipv4 unicast
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp-af)# route-policy policy1 in
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp-af)# route-policy policy1 out
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp-af)# exit
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp)# address-family ipv4 multicast
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp-af)# route-policy policy1 in
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp-af)# route-policy policy1 out
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbrgrp-af)# exit
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# neighbor 172.168.40.24
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# use neighbor-group neighbor1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# address-family ipv4 multicast
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)# use af-group family1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)# exit

In the previous example, the neighbor uses the policy1 route policy for inbound and outbound IPv4 unicast routes, but uses the mcast-in route policy for inbound IPv4 multicast routes and no policy for outbound IPv4 multicast routes.

The following example shows a neighbor inheriting configuration from a session group that likewise inherits configuration from another session group. The configuration from both session groups take effect on the neighbor:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# session-group session1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-sngrp)# advertisement-interval 40

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The weight of a route is a Cisco-specific attribute. It is used in the best-path selection process (as the strongest tie-breaker). See the Implementing BGP on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Routing Configuration Guide for Cisco CRS Routers for information on best path. If there are two BGP routes with the same network layer reachability information (NLRI), the route with the higher weight is always chosen no matter what the value of other BGP attributes. Weight only has significance on the local router. Weight is assigned locally to the router, is a value that only makes sense to the specific router, is not propagated or carried through any route updates, and never is sent between BGP peers (even within the same AS).

Note

If an address family group, neighbor group, or session group is configured, the configuration inside these configuration groups will not be effective unless it is applied directly or indirectly to one or more neighbors.


The weight assigned to individual routes can be further manipulated in the inbound route policy of a neighbor using the set weight command. The set weight command sets the weight directly. If you have particular neighbors that you want to prefer for most of your outbound traffic, you can assign a higher weight to all routes learned from that neighbor.

The weight assigned to individual routes may be modified by using an inbound routing policy.


Note

For weight changes to take effect, you may need to use the clear bgp soft command.


If this command configures a neighbor group or neighbor address family group, all neighbors using the group inherit the configuration. Values of commands configured specifically for a neighbor override inherited values.

The following example shows how to assign a weight of 50 to all IP Version 4 (IPv4) unicast routes learned through 172.20.16.6:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# neighbor 172.20.16.6
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# remote-as 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# address-family ipv4 unicast
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)# weight 50
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)# exit

weight reset-on-import

To reset weight of paths on import, use the weight reset-on-import command in an appropriate configuration mode. To remove the weight reset-on-import command from the configuration file and restore the system to its default condition, use the no form of this command.

The following example shows how to reset weight of paths on import under VRF IPv4 address family configuration:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# vrf vrf1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-vrf)# address-family ipv4 unicast 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-vrf-af)# weight reset-on-import

The following example shows how to reset weight of paths on import under VPNv6 address family configuration:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# address-family vpnv6 unicast
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-af)# weight reset-on-import

weight reset-on-import disable

To disable resetting weight of paths on import, if it is enabled globally, use the weight reset-on-import-disable in appropriate configuration mode. To cancel the disable option and retain the weight reset-on-import option globally, use the no form of this command.
