Specifying a Route Map Name when Configuring BGP4 Network Information

You can specify a route map as one of the parameters when you configure a BGP4 network to be advertised. The routing switch can use the route map to set or change BGP4 attributes when creating a local BGP4 route.

To configure network information and use a route map to set or change BGP4 attributes, use the following CLI method.

NOTE: You must configure the route map before you can specify the route map name in a BGP4 network configuration.

USING THE CLI

To configure a route map, and use it to set or change route attributes for a network you define for BGP4 to advertise, enter commands such as the following:

HP9300(config)# route-map set_net permit 1

HP9300(config-routemap set_net)# set community no-export

HP9300(config-routemap set_net)# exit
