Chapter 16 - BGP

BGP Networks

This dialog box defines a list of routes which will be advertised as originating
inside the Autonomous System this router belongs to. These may be directly
connected routes, static routes, RIP routes, or OSPF routes.

The route must be contained in the router’s IP routing table or it will not be
advertised. To advertise local networks which are not in the router’s own IP
routing table, they must be added as static routes.

BGP Networks Dialog Box

To access this dialog box, select BGP/BGP Networks from the device view.

v Note: The only way to get directly connected routes advertised into BGP
is to include them in this list. Static, RIP, and OSPF routes can also be
imported into BGP by using IP Route Redistribution. Refer to Chapter 2 - IP
Routing & Bridging
for more information on IP Route Redistribution.

To add or modify this list, select the appropriate button to open the Add BGP
Network Dialog Box.

IP Address

The IP address specifies a route to be advertised as originating inside the local
Autonomous System to which the router belongs. The IP address is entered
in standard dotted-decimal notation.
