BGP Configuration Guide BGP Configuration Examples
Router R8 has the following CLI configuration:
On R8, the bgp show routes command for the network interface 15.4.0.0/16 shows the following output:
Note the community list for this network (1:1), as set with the route-map command on R2.
16.3.11 BGP Accounting Examples
BGP accounting allows you to collect statistics on specified IP routes. To use BGP accounting, routes must be learned
through BGP and be selected routes. In other words, the routes must appear in the routing tables (displayed with the
ip show route command) and BGP must be the routing protocol for the routes.
Then use the route-map command to define route-maps and set up the buckets for collecting the BGP traffic
information. (If you are matching communities in the route-map definition, you will need to create the community
lists.) Then apply the route-map to the BGP group or peer. Enable BGP accounting on the interface with the ip
enable bgp-actg-on command, then start accounting with the ip bgp-accounting start command.

EBGP Accounting Example

The set-traffic-index option of the route-map command allows buckets to be set up in which BGP traffic
information is collected. In the configuration for R8 shown in Figure16-12, the routing updates that match the
route-map configurations are set to traffic indexes 1, and 2.
