BGP - Conditional announcement of directly connected networks

Hi, Is there any functionality to conditionally announce directly connected networks similarly to how you can use a route-map to conditionally announce a default route or how you can use RHI to co...

Hello Mandragor.

 

Try to configure it with "in/out" parameter.

You can also try with neighbor field instead.

    Thank you for your suggestion, but my issue is not to filter which connected networks to announce but on which device - I want to ensure that the connected networks are only announced on the active device, and by using neighbor route-map or prefix-list I still announce any matched network on the standby device as well, unfortunately.

      Hello Mandragor.

      Your syntax should be fine.

      redistribute [connected|isis|kernel|ospf|rip|static] route-map WORD

      The issue could be in how your "conditionalRoutemap" is configured.

      Could you share it?

      Regards,

      Dario.

      Hello Mandragor.

       

      I was checking some production environment with BGP on it and it hasn't got any specific configuration for active and standby units. Actually, I would bet that BGP is not advertising any route in standby unit by default.

       

      Have you validated this somehow? (traffic-capture, show ip route at PE,...)

       

      Regards,

      Dario.
