Additional BGP Configuration<br />

(config-as-path-list)#permit \b400\b<br />

It is important to enter any deny commands before the permit commands since the<br />

router processes statements in the AS path list in the order that they are entered.<br />

After configuring the AS path list, use the match command to reference the list in a route map entry.<br />

(config-route-map)#match as-path <br />

Specifies the name of the AS path list.<br />

Use set commands to configure any attributes (prepend AS_PATH,<br />

MULTI_EXIT_DISC, LOCAL_PREF, etc.) to be applied to the routes prior to applying<br />

the route map to the BGP neighbor. Refer to Prepending Private AS Numbers for Load<br />

Balancing on page 28 for detailed explanations of the set command attributes.<br />

The route map is then applied to a BGP neighbor (refer to Applying a Route Map Entry to a BGP<br />

Neighbor on page 30 for more information).<br />

Filtering Routes According to <strong>Community</strong><br />

If a network places routes in communities, the routes that the local router advertises can be filtered<br />

according to these communities. The first step to filtering routes according to community is to create a<br />

community list (refer to Configuring a <strong>Community</strong> List on page 13) that either permits or denies BGP<br />

routes based on well-known or privately defined BGP communities. Next, unless previously<br />

configured, a route map must be created (refer to Route Map on page 23). Use the match command to<br />

reference the community list in the route map entry:<br />

(config-route-map)#match community exact-match<br />

Specifies the name of the community list.<br />

exact-match Optional. Specifies that the route map must match the community name exactly. When<br />

the exact-match keyword is used, the entire community string must be defined as advertised for it to<br />

qualify as an exact match. Without this keyword, matches will result if the defined string appears<br />

anywhere in the community field.<br />

This command does not define a community for routes. It selects routes according to<br />

their predefined community or communities. Other BGP neighbors, either internal or<br />

external, should have placed the route in a community.<br />

Use set commands to configure any policies (prepend AS_PATH,<br />

MULTI_EXIT_DISC, LOCAL_PREF, etc.) to be applied to the community. Refer to<br />

Prepending Private AS Numbers for Load Balancing on page 28 for detailed<br />

explanations of the set command attributes.<br />

Lastly, the route map should be applied to a BGP neighbor as an outbound policy (refer to Applying a<br />

Route Map Entry to a BGP Neighbor on page 30).<br />
