BGP Redistribution Rules

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) redistribution rules specify the conditions by which the current BGP routing instance determines whether to permit or deny routes originated from a device using another protocol. Before you can configure a rule, you must configure a route map. (For more information, see Route Map Configuration.)

The Virtual Router (BGP) - Redistribute Rules page supports both Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) if you set the IPv6 environment variable. The first area is for IPv4 parameters, and the second area is for IPv6 parameters. If IPv6 is not enabled, the second area will not appear.  

  To Create Redistribution Rules

This procedure applies to both IPv4 and IPv6 if you set the IPv6 environment variable. Unless otherwise indicated, the descriptions of the user interface are the same for both protocols.

  1. Enter the necessary information:

Route Map: From the list, select a route map. The route map you select determines whether the current BGP routing instance should permit or deny the routes in this vrouter using another protocol.

(IPv4) Protocol: From the list, select the protocol by which the route map determines whether to permit or deny routes.

ospf: Specifies that the route map performs an action only on Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routes in the subnetwork.

rip: Specifies that the route map performs an action only on Routing Information Protocol (RIP) routes in the subnetwork.

connected: Specifies that the route map performs an action only on connected routes in the subnetwork.

imported: Specifies that the route map performs an action only on redistributed routes in the subnetwork.

static: Specifies that the route map performs an action only on static routes in the subnetwork.

discovered: Specifies that the route map performs an action only on discovered routes in the subnetwork.

(IPv6) Protocol: From the list, select the protocol by which the route map determines whether to permit or deny routes.

ripng: Specifies that the route map performs an action only on Routing Information Protocol  Next Generation (RIPng) routes in the subnetwork.

connected: Specifies that the route map performs an action only on connected routes in the subnetwork.

imported: Specifies that the route map performs an action only on redistributed routes in the subnetwork.

static: Specifies that the route map performs an action only on static routes in the subnetwork.

discovered: Specifies that the route map performs an action only on discovered routes in the subnetwork.

  1. Click Add to save the settings.

To Remove a Redistribution Rule

  1. Click Remove beside the redistribution rule that you want to delete.

A system message prompts you to confirm the removal.

  1. Click OK to confirm the removal, or Cancel to cancel it.
