Controlling Route Generation

Different from IGP, BGP focuses on route generation and advertisement control and optimal route

selection.

There are to ways to generate BGP routes:

z

Configure BGP to advertise local networks

z

Configure BGP to redistribute routes from other routing protocols, including the default route

Prerequisites

BGP connections have been created.

Injecting a Local Network

In BGP view, you can inject a local network to allow BGP to advertise it to BGP peers. The origin

attribute of routes advertised in this way is IGP. You can also reference a route policy to flexibly control

route advertisement. The network to be injected must be available in the local IP routing table.

Follow these steps to inject a local network:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter BGP view

bgp as-number

Inject a network to the BGP routing

table

network ip-address [ mask |

mask-length ] route-policy

route-policy-name

Optional

Not injected by default

Configuring BGP Route Redistribution

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

routing protocols. During route redistribution, you can configure BGP to filter routing information from

specific routing protocols.

The origin attribute of routes redistributed using the import-route command is Incomplete.

Follow these steps to configure BGP route redistribution:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

Enter BGP view

routing protocol into BGP
