Controlling route generation

Generating BGP routes can be done in the following ways:

Configure BGP to advertise local networks.

Configure BGP to redistribute IGP routes.

Configuration prerequisites

Create and configure a routing policy. For more information, see "Configuring routing policies."

Injecting a local network

This task allows you to inject a network in the local routing table to the BGP routing table, so that BGP can

advertise the network to BGP peers. The network to be injected must be available and active in the local
IP routing table. The origin attribute of routes advertised in this way is IGP. You can also reference a

routing policy to flexibly control route advertisement.
To inject a local network:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter BGP view or BGP-VPN
instance view.

Enter BGP view:

bgp as-number

Enter BGP-VPN instance view:

a.

bgp as-number

b.

ipv4-family vpn-instance

vpn-instance-name

Use either method.

3.

Inject a local network to the
BGP routing table.

network ip-address [ mask |
mask-length ] [ route-policy

route-policy-name ]

Optional.
Not injected by default.

Redistributing IGP routes

BGP does not find routes by itself. Rather, it redistributes routing information in the local AS from IGPs.

During route redistribution, you can configure BGP to filter routing information from specific routing
protocols.
By default, BGP does not redistribute default IGP routes. You can use the default-route imported

command to redistribute default IGP routes into the BGP routing table.
Only active routes can be redistributed. You can use the display ip routing-table protocol command to
display route state information. For more information about the display ip routing-table protocol

command, see Layer 3—IP Routing Command Reference.
The origin attribute of routes redistributed from IGPs is INCOMPLETE.
To configure BGP to redistribute IGP routes:
