Default Redistribution and Route Aggregation Example

This example shows you how to configure the switch to redistribute information from one routing protocol to another and create an aggregate route entry in the BGP routing table to min- imize the size of the routing table.

As illustrated in Figure 11-4, you have two peer routers: an internal and an external peer router. Configure the GbE Switch Module to redistribute the default routes from AS 200 to AS 135. At the same time, configure for route aggregation to allow you to condense the number of routes traversing from AS 135 to AS 200.
