BGP: Configuring Route Maps

Particular mention, though, has to be made of the case where the match clause specifies prefix list or ACL as the match criterion, and the route map is being applied to outgoing route updates.

The intention of such an entry would be that the attribute values specified in the set clauses be applied to only those routes that are contained in the prefix list or ACL specified in the match clause.

What happens when there is an outgoing update message that contains several prefixes, some of which are selected by the match clause and some of which are not? Given that an update packet contains just one set of attributes, it is not possible to say “change some of the attributes in the packet, but make them apply to only some of the prefixes contained in the packet”. The attributes in an update packet must apply to all the prefixes in the packet.

The only solution is to break up the update packet. The switch creates one packet that contains the original attribute values and the prefixes that were not specified in the match clause of the route map entry. Then the switch creates another packet that contains those prefixes of the original packet which did match the prefix list or ACL in the match clause, but with modified attribute values.

The following diagram illustrates the BGP process of splitting an outgoing update:

Router (AS 5)

Add peer Update to IP table

Router generates a new Update, from the BGP route table, to send to another peer

Take internally generated Update and add the AS “8” for matches of 192.168.0.0/16

Update 1 to Peer 2

ASPathList = 5,8,4,3,2,1 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24

Update 2 to Peer 2

ASPathList = 5,4,3,2,1 172.30.0.0/16 172.31.0.0/16
