BGP Route Mapping Rules

At a minimum, every line in a route map must include an Action, a Route, and a Direction. Together, these components, along with optional input and output modifiers, specify a rule that the router will follow when a route meets the condition of the rule.

ϖNote: No input routes will be accepted by the router unless a BGP route map or IP route filter has been defined. To allow all other network numbers not filtered, include the following rule:

permit 0.0.0.0

Action

These parameters specify the action to be taken when a route meets the condi- tion of the rule. Select permit or deny.

Route

The Route consists of an IP address with the optional /bits at the end of the IP address. IP addresses can be specified in the following three ways.

Normal dotted-decimal notation. Example 192.168.12.4

Factorized addresses in the form of #.#.#.# {#,#,...} Example 192.168.12. {1,4,8} This means IP addresses 192.168.12.1, 192.168.12.4, and 192.168.12.8
