BGP and BGP4+ Commands

synchronization (BGP and BGP4+)

Use this command in Router Configuration mode or in Address Family Configuration mode to ensure BGP does not advertise router learned from iBGP peers until they are learned locally, or are propagated throughout the AS via an IGP.

Use the no variant of this command to disable this function.

Syntax synchronization

no synchronization

Default Disabled.

Mode Router Configuration and Address Family Configuration mode

Usage Synchronization is used when a BGP router should not advertise routes learned from iBGP neighbors, unless those routes are also present in an IGP (for example, OSPF). These routes must be in the RIB (Routing Information Base) learned locally or via an IGP.

Synchronization may be enabled when all the routers in an autonomous system do not speak BGP, and the autonomous system is a transit for other autonomous systems.

Use the no synchronization command when BGP router can advertise routes learned from iBGP neighbors, without waiting for IGP reachability, when routes are in the RIB.

Example The following example enables IGP synchronization of iBGP routes in Router Configuration mode:

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# router bgp 11

awplus(config-router)# synchronization

The following example enables IGP synchronization of iBGP routes in IPv4 unicast Address Family Configuration mode:

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# router bgp 11

awplus(config)# address-family ipv4 unicast

awplus(config-af)# synchronization

The following example enables IGP synchronization of iBGP routes in the IPv6 unicast Address Family Configuration mode:

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# router bgp 11

awplus(config)# address-family ipv6 unicast

awplus(config-af)# synchronization
