CCNP Enarsi 300-410 By-Ramakrishnan: Chapter - 12 Advanced BGP

The document discusses route summarization and manipulation techniques in BGP. It describes how summarization reduces routing table sizes and instability by hiding route flaps. Dynamic summarization creates aggregate prefixes when component routes are received. The next hop for aggregate prefixes is set to Null0 to prevent loops. The aggregate-address command advertises aggregate prefixes with or without component routes. Route filtering methods like prefix lists, route maps, and AS path filters allow selective advertisement or acceptance of routes between peers.

Route Summarization
 Summarizing prefixes conserves router resources and accelerates best-path calculation by reducing the size of the table.
 Summarization also provides the benefit of stability by hiding route flaps from downstream routers, thereby reducing routing
churn.
 Dynamic BGP summarization consists of the configuration of an aggregate network prefix.
 When viable component routes that match the aggregate network prefix enter the BGP table, the aggregate prefix is created.
 The originating router sets the next hop to Null0 as a discard route for the aggregated prefix for loop prevention

Aggregate Addresses
aggregate-address network subnet-mask [summary-only] [as-set].

Aggregate Addresses
 The aggregate-address command advertises the aggregated network prefix in addition to the original component
network prefixes. The optional summary-only keyword suppresses the component network prefixes in the
summarized network prefix range.
 Aggregated routes act like new BGP routes with a shorter prefix length. When a BGP router summarizes a route, it
does not advertise the AS_Path information from before the aggregation. BGP path attributes like AS_Path, multi-
exit discriminator (MED), and BGP communities are not included in the new BGP aggregate prefix.
Route Aggregation with AS_SET
 To keep the BGP path information history, the optional as-set keyword may be used with the aggregate-address
command.
 As the router generates the aggregate route, BGP attributes from the component aggregate routes are copied
over to it. The AS_Path settings from the original prefixes are stored in the AS_SET portion of AS_Path.
BGP ROUTE FILTERING AND MANIPULATION
 Conditional route selection is a method for selectively identifying prefixes that are advertised or received from
peers.
 Selected routes can be modified or removed to manipulate traffic flows, reduce memory utilization, or improve
security.

IOS XE provides four methods of filtering routes inbound or outbound for a specific BGP peer.
Each of these methods can be used individually or simultaneously with other methods:

 Distribution list: A distribution list filters network prefixes based on a standard or extended access control list (ACL).
An implicit deny is associated with any prefix that is not permitted.

 Prefix list: A list of prefix-matching specifications that permit or deny network prefixes in a top-down fashion, much like an ACL
An implicit deny is associated with any prefix that is not permitted.

 AS_Path ACL/filtering: A list of regex commands that allows for the permit or deny of a network prefix, based on the current
 AS_Path values. An implicit deny is associated with any prefix that is not permitted.

 Route maps: Route maps provide a method of conditional matching on a variety of prefix attributes and allow you to take a
 variety of actions. An action could be a simple permit or deny or could include the modification of BGP path attributes.
 An implicit deny is associated with any prefix that is not permitted.
