Using a Table Map To Set the Tag Value

Route maps that contain set statements change values in routes when the routes are filtered by the route map. For inbound route maps (route maps that filter routes received from neighbors), this means that the routes are changed before they enter the BGP4 route table.

For tag values, if you do not want the value to change until a route enters the IP route table, you can use a table map to change the value. A table map is a route map that you have associated with the IP routing table. The routing switch applies the set statements for tag values in the table map to routes before adding them to the route table.

To configure a table map, you configure the route map, then identify it as a table map. The table map does not require separate configuration. You create it simply by calling an existing route map a table map. You can have one table map.

NOTE: Use table maps only for setting the tag value. Do not use table maps to set other attributes. To set other route attributes, use route maps or filters.

USING THE CLI

To create a route map and identify it as a table map, enter commands such as following. These commands create a route map that uses an address filter. For routes that match the address filter, the route map changes the tag value to 100. This route map is then identified as a table map. As a result, the route map is applied only to routes that the routing switch places in the IP route table. The route map is not applied to all routes. This example assumes that address filter 11 has already been configured.

HP9300(config)# route-map TAG_IP permit 1

HP9300(config-routemap TAG_IP)# match address-filters 11

HP9300(config-routemap TAG_IP)# set tag 100

HP9300(config-routemap TAG_IP)# router bgp

HP9300(config-bgp-router)# table-map TAG_IP

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

1.Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration panel is displayed.

2.Use the Web management procedures in “Defining Route Maps” on page 10-59to create the route map.

3.Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to expand the list of configuration options.

4.Click on the plus sign next to BGP in the tree view to expand the list of BGP option links.

5.Click on the General link to display the BGP configuration panel.

6.Select the route map name from the Table Map field’s pulldown menu.

7.Click the Apply button to apply the changes to the device’s running-config file.
