BGP Conditional Route Injection |
12.0(22)S 12.2(4)T 12.2(14)S 15.0(1)S Cisco IOS XE 3.1.0SG |
The BGP Conditional Route Injection feature allows you to inject more specific prefixes into a BGP routing table over less specific prefixes that were selected through normal route aggregation. These more specific prefixes can be used to provide a finer granularity of traffic engineering or administrative control than is possible with aggregated routes. |
BGP Configuration Using Peer Templates |
12.0(24)S 12.2(18)S 12.2(27)SBC 12.3(4)T 15.0(1)S |
The BGP Configuration Using Peer Templates feature introduces a new mechanism that groups distinct neighbor configurations for BGP neighbors that share policies. This type of policy configuration has been traditionally configured with BGP peer groups. However, peer groups have certain limitations because peer group configuration is bound to update grouping and specific session characteristics. Configuration templates provide an alternative to peer group configuration and overcome some of the limitations of peer groups. |
BGP Dynamic Update Peer Groups |
12.0(24)S 12.2(18)S 12.2(27)SBC 12.3(4)T 15.0(1)S Cisco IOS XE 3.1.0SG |
The BGP Dynamic Update Peer Groups feature introduces a new algorithm that dynamically calculates and optimizes update groups of neighbors that share the same outbound policies and can share the same update messages. In previous versions of Cisco IOS software, BGP update messages were grouped based on peer-group configurations. This method of grouping updates limited outbound policies and specific-session configurations. The BGP Dynamic Update Peer Group feature separates update group replication from peer group configuration, which improves convergence time and flexibility of neighbor configuration. |
BGP Neighbor Policy |
12.2(33)SB 12.2(33)SRB 12.4(11)T Cisco IOS XE 3.1.0SG |
The BGP Neighbor Policy feature introduces new keywords to two existing commands to display information about local and inherited policies. When BGP neighbors use multiple levels of peer templates, it can be difficult to determine which policies are applied to the neighbor. Inherited policies are policies that the neighbor inherits from a peer-group or a peer-policy template. The following commands were modified by this feature: show ip bgp neighbors, show ip bgp template peer-policy. |
BGP Support for 4-Byte ASN |
12.0(32)S12 12.0(32)SY8 12.0(33)S3 12.2(33)SRE 12.2(33)XNE 12.2(33)SXI1, 12.4(24)T 15.0(1)S Cisco IOS XE 3.1.0SG |
The BGP Support for 4-Byte ASN feature introduced support for 4-byte autonomous system numbers. Because of increased demand for autonomous system numbers, in January 2009 the IANA will start to allocate 4-byte autonomous system numbers in the range from 65536 to 4294967295. In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)SY8, 12.0(33)S3, 12.2(33)SRE, 12.2(33)XNE, 12.2(33)SXI1, and later releases, the Cisco implementation of 4-byte autonomous system numbers uses asplain as the default regular expression match and output display format for autonomous system numbers, but you can configure 4-byte autonomous system numbers in both the asplain format and the asdot format as described in RFC 5396. To change the default regular expression match and output display of 4-byte autonomous system numbers to asdot format, use the bgp asnotation dot command. In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S12, and 12.4(24)T, the Cisco implementation of 4-byte autonomous system numbers uses asdot as the only configuration format, regular expression match, and output display, with no asplain support. The following commands were introduced or modified by this feature: bgp asnotation dot, bgp confederation identifier, bgp confederation peers, all clear ip bgpcommands that configure an autonomous system number, ip as-path access-list, ip extcommunity-list, match source-protocol, neighbor local-as, neighbor remote-as, neighbor soo, redistribute (IP), router bgp, route-target, set as-path, set extcommunity, set origin, soo, all show ip bgp commands that display an autonomous system number, and show ip extcommunity-list. |
Suppress BGP Advertisement for Inactive Routes |
12.2(25)S 12.2(33)SXH 15.0(1)M 15.0(1)S |
The Suppress BGP Advertisements for Inactive Routes feature allows you to configure the suppression of advertisements for routes that are not installed in the Routing Information Base (RIB). Configuring this feature allows Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) updates to be more consistent with data used for traffic forwarding. |
