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.

 

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.
