BGP: Configuring Route Maps

Atomic- This adds the atomic aggregate attribute to the update. aggregate

Use the command:

set atomic-aggregate

Extended This specifies a value to set as the Extended Community attribute in the update message. community

Use the command:

set extcommunity {rtsoo} <ext-comm-number>

The rt parameter configures a route target extended community. This consists of routers that will receive matching routes.

The soo parameter configures a site-of-origin extended community. This consists of routers that will inject matching routes into BGP.

Next hop This specifies the next hop for matching routes.

Use the command:

set ip next-hop <ipadd>

Originator ID This specifies the Originator ID attribute in the update message. The originator ID is the router ID of the IBGP peer that first learned this route, either via an EBGP peer or by some other means such as importing it.

Use the command:

set originator-id <ipadd>

Weight Specifies a weight value for matching routes. The weight value assists in best path selection of BGP routes. It is stored with the route in the BGP routing table, but is not advertised to peers. When there are multiple routes with a common destination, the device uses the route with the highest weight value.

Use the command:

set weight <0-4294967295>

Dampening This is used to turn out BGP dampening and optionally set dampening parameters for the routes that match the route map entry.

Use one of the commands:

set dampening

set dampening <reachtime>

set dampening <reachtime> <reuse> <suppress> <maxsuppress>

X8100, x908 specifications

The Allied Telesis x908 and the SwitchBlade x900 series of network switches are cutting-edge solutions designed to address the demands of modern networking environments. These switches are known for their high performance, reliability, and robust feature sets, making them ideal for enterprise and service provider networks.

The Allied Telesis x908 series consists of modular and chassis-based systems that can accommodate a variety of network configurations. One of the main features of the x908 series is its ability to offer high scalability with support for a large number of ports. This makes it suitable for data centers and large enterprise networks where space and bandwidth optimization are critical.

In addition to scalability, the x908 series supports advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities. This allows for efficient traffic management and routing, ensuring that data is delivered swiftly and reliably. The x908 also incorporates intelligent features such as Quality of Service (QoS), which prioritizes critical network traffic, ensuring that time-sensitive data—like voice and video—maintains its quality during transmission.

The SwitchBlade x900 series takes this functionality further with its innovative modular architecture. This allows organizations to configure their networks to meet specific needs by choosing from a variety of interface cards and service modules. The SwitchBlade x900 also supports advanced security features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs) and VLAN segmentation, which provide enhanced protection against unauthorized access and network threats.

Another hallmark of the x908 and SwitchBlade series is their support for high-speed Ethernet technologies, including 10G and 40G Ethernet. This enables organizations to keep pace with the increasing bandwidth demands of applications and services, particularly in cloud computing and data-intensive workloads.

Both the x908 and the SwitchBlade x900 series are designed with energy efficiency in mind, featuring power-saving technologies that reduce overall operational costs. Coupled with Allied Telesis' management tools, which provide detailed analytics and monitoring, network administrators can optimize performance and energy consumption simultaneously.

In summary, the Allied Telesis x908 and SwitchBlade x900 series offer a comprehensive suite of features, high performance, scalability, and advanced networking technologies. They represent a strategic investment for organizations looking to build resilient, efficient, and future-proof network infrastructures.
