CHAPTER 1 ZebOS Command Line Interface Environment

Network administrators and application developers who install and configure ZebOS® IP routing software should use this Command Line Interface (CLI) reference guide. This guide includes contains the following information:

• An overview of the ZebOS Command Line Interface

• An overview of the Integrated Management Interface (IMI), including a description of both basic access and of the shell commands

• A complete reference of the Command Line Interface (CLI) commands used for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) configurations

Command Line Interface OverviewThe ZebOS® Command Line Interface is a text-based facility conforming to industry standards. Many of the commands can be used in scripts to automate configuration tasks. Each CLI command is usually associated with a specific function or a common function performing a specific task.

The Integrated Management Interface (IMI) Shell, or IMISH, gives users and administrators the ability to issue commands to several daemons using a single TELNET session.

Command Line Interface HelpThe ZebOS CLI contains a text-based help facility. Access this help by typing in a full or partial command string then typing a question mark “?”. The ZebOS CLI displays the command keywords or parameters along with a short description. For example, at the CLI command prompt, type:

ZebOS> show ? (CLI does not display the question mark).The CLI displays this keyword list with short descriptions for each keyword:

ZebOS# show debugging Debugging functions (see also 'undebug') history Display the session command history ip IP information memory Memory statistics route-map route-map information running-config running configuration startup-config Contents of startup configuration version Displays ZebOS version

If the ? is typed in the middle of a keyword, the ZebOS CLI displays help for that keyword only.

ZebOS> show de? (CLI does not display the question mark). debugging Debugging functions (see also 'undebug')

If the ? is typed in the middle of a keyword, but the incomplete keyword matches several other keywords, ZebOS displays help for all matching keywords.

ZebOS> show i? (CLI does not display the question mark). interface Interface status and configuration ip IP information isis ISIS information

ZebOS Command Line Interface Environment

Command CompletionThe ZebOS CLI can complete the spelling of a command or a parameter. Begin typing the command or parameter, then press the TAB key. For example, at the CLI command prompt type sh:

ZebOS> shPress TAB. The CLI displays:

ZebOS> showIf the command or parameter partial spelling is ambiguous, the ZebOS CLI displays the choices that match the abbreviation. Type show i and press TAB. The CLI displays:

ZebOS> show iinterface ip isisZebOS> show i

The CLI displays the interface and ip keywords. Type n to select interface and press TAB. The CLI displays:

ZebOS> show inZebOS> show interface

Type ? and the CLI displays the list of parameters for the show interface command.

ZebOS> show interface IFNAME Interface name | Output modifiers > Output redirection <cr>

The CLI displays the only parameter associated with this command, the IFNAME parameter.

Note: For more information about output modifiers and output redirection, see the Show Command Tokens section.

Command AbbreviationsThe ZebOS CLI accepts abbreviations for commands. For example

sh in eth0is an abbreviation for the show interface command.

Command Line ErrorsAny unknown spelling variation causes the command line parser to display the error Unrecognized command in response to the ?. The parser redisplays the command as last entered. When the user presses the Enter key after typing an invalid command, the parser displays:

ZebOS(config)#router ospf here ^% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

where the ^ points to the first character in error in the command.

If a command is incomplete, it displays the following message:

ZebOS> show% Incomplete command.

Some commands are too long for the display line and can wrap in mid-parameter or mid-keyword, as shown below:

area 10.10.0.18 virtual-link 10.10.0.19 authentication-key 57393

Format used for Command DescriptionThe following describes the format used when describing each command in this document.

Table 3: Command Description Formats

Command NegationMany commands can be negated using the no keyword. Depending on the command or the parameters, some command negation can disable one feature or a feature for a specific ID, interface, address or other identifier. However, some negation is for the base command only; thus, the negated form does not take a parameter.

Variable Parameter ExpansionFor some commands, an IP address or a number in a given range can replace a parameter. For example:

area AREAADDRESSID virtual-link ROUTERID (AUTHENTICATE|MSGD|INTERVAL)AREAADDRESSID=A.B.C.D|<0-4294967295>

Therefore, the following is the minimum command for the ROUTERID by an IP address:

area 10.10.0.11 virtual-link 10.10.0.12Users can only choose an optional parameter in the string [AUTHENTICATE|MSGD|INTERVAL]. In addition, users can replace a parameter by a keyword or parameter. For example, the following string replaces the MD5 parameter:

MD5= [message-digest-key <1-255> md5 MD5_KEY]

with MD5_KEY replaced by a 1-16 character string.

A.B.C.D IP address An IPv4-style address 10.0.11.123

X:X::X:X IP address An IPv6-style address 3ffe:506::1where the:: is all the zeros for address components not explicitly given.

Format Description

ZebOS Command Line Interface Environment

Show Command TokensUsers can use two tokens to modify the output of a show command. Enter a question mark to display these tokens:

ZebOS# show users ? | Output modifiers > Output redirection

Output ModifiersUsers can type the | (vertical bar character) to use output modifiers. For example:

ZebOS>show rsvp | ?

begin Begin with the line that matchesexclude Exclude lines that matchinclude Include lines that matchredirect Redirect output

Begin ParameterThe begin parameter displays the output beginning with the first line containing a token matching the input string (everything typed after the begin token). For example:

ZebOS# show run | begin eth1...skippinginterface eth1 ipv6 address fe80::204:75ff:fee6:5393/64!interface eth2 ipv6 address fe80::20d:56ff:fe96:725a/64!line con 0 login!end

Exclude ParameterThe exclude parameter excludes all lines of output that contain the input string. In the following output example, all lines containing the word “include” are excluded:

ZebOS# show interface eth1 | exclude inputInterface eth1 Scope: both Hardware is Ethernet, address is 0004.75e6.5393 index 3 metric 1 mtu 1500 <UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> VRF Binding: Not bound Label switching is disabled No Virtual Circuit configured Administrative Group(s): None DSTE Bandwidth Constraint Mode is MAM inet6 fe80::204:75ff:fee6:5393/64 output packets 4438, bytes 394940, dropped 0

Page 18: to view the PDF - AskF5 - F5 Networks

ZebOS Command Line Interface Environment

output errors 0, aborted 0, carrier 0, fifo 0, heartbeat 0, window 0 collisions 0

Include ParameterThe include parameter includes only those lines of output that contain the input string. In the output below, all lines containing the word “input” are included:

ZebOS# show interface eth1 | include input input packets 80434552, bytes 2147483647, dropped 0, multicast packets 0 input errors 0, length 0, overrun 0, CRC 0, frame 0, fifo 1, missed 0

Redirect ParameterThe redirect parameter puts the lines of output into the indicated file.

ZebOS# show history | redirect /var/frame.txt

In addition, the output redirection token (>) allows the user to specify a target file for the lines of output.

ZebOS# show history >/var/frame.txt

Note: To modify the lines displayed for any Show command in this guide, use the | (vertical bar) output modifier token; to save the output to a file, use the > (right arrow) output redirection token.

Command ModesCommands available for each protocol separate into several modes (or nodes) and are arranged in a hierarchy. Each mode has its own special commands.

Table 4: Command Modes

Name Description

Exec Mode Also called the View mode, this mode the first mode to appear after logging in to the CLI. It is a base mode from where users can perform basic commands, such as show, exit, quit, help, list, and enable.

Privileged Exec Mode Also called the Enable mode, it allows users to run additional basic commands, such as debug, write (for saving and viewing the configuration) and show commands.

Configure Mode Also called Configure Terminal mode, it allows users to run configuration commands and to serve as a gateway into the Interface, Router, Line, Route Map, Key Chain and Address Family modes.

Interface Mode Is used to configure protocol-specific settings for a particular interface. Any attribute configured in this mode overrides an attribute configured in the Router mode.

Line Mode Is used to make the access-class commands available.

BGP Commands

aggregate-addressUse this command to configure BGP aggregate entries.

Aggregates are used to minimize the size of routing tables. Aggregation combines the characteristics of several different routes and advertises a single route.The aggregate-address command creates an aggregate entry in the BGP routing table if any more-specific BGP routes are available in the specified range. Using the summary-only parameter advertises the prefix only, suppressing the more-specific routes to all neighbors. In the following example Router1 will propagate network 172.0.0.0 and suppresses the more specific route 172.10.0.0.

The as-set parameter creates an aggregate entry advertising the path for this route, consisting of all elements contained in all paths being summarized. Use this parameter to reduce the size of path information by listing the AS number only once, even if it was included in multiple paths that were aggregated. The as-set parameter is useful when aggregation of information results in an incomplete path information.

Use the no parameter with this command to disable this function.

Command Syntaxaggregate-address [A.B.C.D/M as-set|summary-only]

no aggregate-address A.B.C.D/M [as-set|summary-only]

ParametersA.B.C.D/M Specify the aggregate prefix.

as-set Generate AS set path information.

summary-only Filter more specific routes from updates.

Page 33: to view the PDF - AskF5 - F5 Networks

BGP Commands

auto-summaryUse this command to enable sending summarized routes by a BGP speaker to its peers in the router configuration mode or in the address-family configuration mode. Auto-summary is used by a BGP router to advertise summarized routes to its peers. Auto-summary can be enabled if certain routes have already been advertised: in this case, configuring auto-summary advertises the summarized routes first, then corresponding non-summarized routes are withdrawn. If certain routes have already been advertised, and auto-summary is disabled, non-summarized routes are first advertised, then the corresponding summarized routes are withdrawn from all the connected peers.

Use the no parameter with this command to disable this function.

Command Syntaxauto-summary

no auto-summary

ParametersNone

DefaultDisabled

Command ModeRouter mode and Address Family IPv4 mode

ExamplesThe following example enables auto-summary in Router mode.

ZebOS#configure terminalZebOS(config)#router bgp 11ZebOS(config-router)#auto-summary

BGP Commands

bgp always-compare-medUse this command to compare the Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) for paths from neighbors in different autonomous systems. Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) is used in best path selection by BGP. MED is compared after BGP attributes weight, local preference, AS-path and origin have been compared and are equal. MED comparison is done only among paths from the same autonomous system (AS). Use bgp always-compare-med command to allow comparison of MEDs from different ASs. The MED parameter is used to select the best path. A path with lower MED is preferred. If the bgp table shows the following and the always-compare-med is enabled:

Route1: as-path 400, med 300Route2: as-path 200, med 200Route3: as-path 400, med 250

Route1 is compared to Route2. Route2 is best of the two (lower MED). Next, Route2 is compared to Route3 and Route2 is chosen best path again (lower MED). If always-compare-med was disabled, MED is not taken into account when Route1 and Route2 are compared, because of different ASs and MED is compared for only Route1 and Route3. In this case, Route3 would be the best path. The selected route is also affected by the bgp deterministic-med command. Please see bgp deterministic-med command for details. If this command is used to compare MEDs for all paths, it should be configured on every BGP router in the AS.

Use the no parameter with this command to disallow the comparison.

BGP Commands

bgp bestpath compare-confed-aspathUse this command to allow comparing of the confederation AS path length. This command specifies that the AS confederation path length must be used when available in the BGP best path decision process. It is effective only when bgp bestpath as-path ignore command has not been used

Use the no parameter with this command to revert the selection and ignore AS confederation path length in the BGP best path selection.

Command Syntaxbgp bestpath compare-confed-aspath

no bgp bestpath compare-confed-aspath

ParametersNone

BGP Commands

bgp bestpath compare-routeridUse this command to compare router-id for identical eBGP paths. When comparing similar routes from peers the BGP router does not consider router ID of the routes. By default, it selects the first received route. Use this command to include router ID in the selection process; similar routes are compared and the route with lowest router ID is selected. The router-id is the highest IP address on the router, with preference given to loopback addresses. Router-id can be manually set by using the bgp router-id command.

Use the no parameter with this command to disable this function.

Command Syntaxbgp bestpath compare-routerid

BGP Commands

bgp bestpath medUse this command to specify two MED (Multi Exit Discriminator) attributes--confed and missing-as-worst. The confed attribute enables MED comparison among paths learned from confederation peers. The MEDs are compared only if there is no external Autonomous System (an AS not within the confederation) in the path. If there is an external autonomous system in the path, the MED comparison is not made. For example in the following paths, the MED is not compared with Route3 as it is not in the confederation. MED is compared for Route1 and Route2 only.

Path1 = 32000 32004, med=4Path2 = 32001 32004, med=2Path3 = 32003 1, med=1

The missing-as-worst attribute to consider a missing MED attribute in a path as having a value of infinity, making the path without a MED value the least desirable path. If missing-as-worst is disabled, the missing MED is assigned the value of 0, making the path with the missing MED attribute the best path.

Use the no parameter with this command to prevent BGP from considering the MED attribute in comparing paths.

Command Syntaxbgp bestpath med [confed missing-as-worst)|missing-as-worst (confed)|remove-recv-med|remove-send-med]

no bgp bestpath med [confed (missing-as-worst)|missing-as-worst (confed)|remove-recv-med|remove-send-med]

Parametersconfed Compares MED among confederation paths

missing-as-worst

BGP Commands

bgp client-to-client reflectionUse this command to configure routers as route reflectors. Route reflectors are used when all Interior Border Gateway Protocol (iBGP) speakers are not fully meshed. If the clients are fully meshed the route reflector is not required, use no bgp client-to-client reflection command to disable the client-to-client route reflection.

Use the no parameter with this command to turn off client-to-client reflection.

Command Syntaxbgp client-to-client reflection

Page 44: to view the PDF - AskF5 - F5 Networks

BGP Commands

bgp cluster-idUse this command to configure the cluster ID if the BGP cluster has more than one route reflector. A cluster includes route reflectors and its clients. Usually, each cluster is identified by the router ID of its single route reflector but to increase redundancy sometimes a cluster may have more than one route reflector. All router reflectors in such a cluster are then identified by a cluster ID. The bgp cluster-id command is used to configure the 4 byte cluster ID for clusters with more than one route reflectors.

Use the no parameter with this command (without any arguments) to remove the cluster ID.

Command Syntaxbgp cluster-id [<1-4294967295>|A.B.C.D]

no bgp cluster-id

Parameters<1-4294967295> Specify the cluster ID of this router acting as a route reflector, either as IP address or as a

maximum of 4 bytes

BGP Commands

bgp confederation peersUse this command to configure the Autonomous Systems (AS) that belong to a confederation. A confederation allows an AS to be divided into several ASs. The AS is given a confederation identifier. External routers view only the whole confederation as one AS. Each AS is fully meshed within itself and is visible internally to the confederation.

Use the no parameter with this command to remove an autonomous system from the confederation.

Command Syntaxbgp confederation peers <1-65535>

BGP Commands

bgp config-typeUse this command to set the BGP configuration to the standard type. After setting the configuration to be the standard type, make sure to use the neighbor send-community command to send out BGP community attributes. The zebos configuration type is the default and requires no specific configuration for sending out BGP standard community and extended community attributes. For the standard type, the no synchronization command is always shown in the configuration, whereas for the zebos type, this command is the default.

Use the no parameter with this command to remove this configuration.

BGP Commands

bgp dampeningUse this command to set the bgp route dampening parameters. Route dampening minimizes the instability caused by route flapping. A penalty is added for every flap in a flapping route. As soon as the total penalty reaches the suppress limit the advertisement of the route is suppressed. This penalty is decayed according to the configured half time value. Once the penalty is lower than the reuse limit, the route advertisement is un-suppressed. The dampening information is purged from the router once the penalty becomes less than half of the reuse limit.

Use the no parameter with this command to unset the bgp dampening parameters.

Command Syntaxbgp dampening [route-map (WORD)] [<1-45>] [<1-20000>|<1-20000>|<1-255>|<1-45>]

no bgp dampening [route-map (WORD)] [<1-45>] (<1-20000>|<1-20000>|<1-255>|<1-45>]

Parametersroutemap Route-map to specify criteria for dampening.

WORD Specify the name of the route-map.

<1-45> Specify the reachability half-life time in minutes. The time for the penalty to decrease to one-half of its current value. The default is 15 minutes.

<1-20000> Specify the reuse limit value. When the penalty for a suppressed route decays below the reuse value, the routes become unsuppressed.

<1-20000> Specify the suppress limit value. When the penalty for a route exceeds the suppress value, the route is suppressed.

<1-255> Specify the max-suppress-time. Maximum time that a dampened route is suppressed.

<1-45> Specify the un-reachability half-life time for penalty, in minutes.

DefaultsThe default reachability half-time is 15 minutes.

The default reuse limit value is 750.

The default suppress limit is 2000.

The default max-suppress value is four times the half-life time, or 60 minutes.

BGP Commands

bgp deterministic medUse this command to have the software compare the Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) variable when choosing among routes advertised by different peers in the same autonomous system. MED is used in best path selection by BGP. MED is compared after BGP attributes weight, local preference, AS-path and origin have been compared and are equal.

For a correct comparison result, enable this command on all routers in a local AS. After enabling this command, all paths for the same prefix are grouped together and arranged according to their MED value. Based on this comparison, the best path is then chosen. This command compares MED variable when choosing routes advertised by different peers in the same AS, to compare MED, when choosing routes from neighbors in different ASs use the bgp always-compare-med command.

When the bgp deterministic-med command is enabled, routes from the same AS are grouped together, and the best routes of each group are compared. If the BGP table showed:

Route1: as-path 200, med 300, internalRoute2: as-path 400, med 200, internalRoute3: as-path 400, med 250, external

BGP would have a group of Route1 and a second group of Route2 and Route3 (the same ASs). The best of each group is compared. Route1 is the best of its group because it is the only route from AS 200. Route1 is compared to the Route2, the best of group AS 400 (the lower MED). Since the two routes are not from the same AS, the MED is not considered in the comparison. The external BGP route is preferred over the internal BGP route, making Route3 the best route; the preferred route would be different if always-compare-med command is enabled (See always-compare-med command).

Use the no parameter with this command to disallow this setting.

BGP Commands

bgp graceful-restartUse this command to enable BGP graceful-restart capabilities. The restart-time parameter is used for setting the maximum time that a graceful-restart neighbor waits to come back up after a restart. This value is applied to all neighbors unless you explicitly override it by configuring the corresponding value on the neighbor. The stalepath-time parameter is used to set the maximum time to preserve stale paths from a gracefully restarted neighbor. All stalepaths, unless reinstated by the neighbor after a re-establishment, will be deleted at the expiration of this timer.

Use the no parameter with this command to restore the router to its default state.

Command Syntaxbgp graceful-restart [graceful-reset|restart-time <1-3600>|stalepath-time <1-3600>]

no bgp graceful-restart [graceful-reset|restart-time|stalepath-time]

Parametersgraceful-reset Sets a graceful-reset capability. This feature provides a graceful restart mechanism for a

BGP session reset in which the BGP daemon is not restarted, so that any changes in network configurations that cause BGP reset do not affect packet forwarding.

restart-time Maximum time needed for neighbors to restart.

<1-3600> Range of values for restart-time, in seconds.

BGP Commands

bgp log-neighbor-changesUse this command to enable logging of status change messages without turning on debug bgp commands. ZebOS has many logging services for neighbor status, including debug bgp fsm and debug bgp events. However, these commands create a significant hit in system performance. If you need to log neighbor status changes only, F5 Networks recommends turning off all the debug commands and using the bgp log-neighbor-changes command.

A sample output of this log is:

%Protocol-Severity-Events: Message-textA sample output of the log for an interface down event is:

%BGP-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor 10.10.0.24 Down Interface flapThis command logs the following events:

BGP Commands

bgp nexthop-trigger delayUse this command to set the delay time for nexthop address tracking. This command configures the delay interval between routing table walks for nexthop delay tracking, after which BGP does a routing table scan on receiving a nexthop change trigger from NSM. The time period determines how long BGP waits before it walks the full BGP table to determine which prefixes are affected by the nexthop changes, after it receives the trigger from NSM about one or more nexthop changes.

Use the no parameter with this command to reset the timer value to the default value.

Command Syntaxbgp nexthop-trigger delay <1-100>

BGP Commands

bgp nexthop-trigger enableUse this command to enable nexthop address tracking. Nexthop address tracking is an event-driven notification system that monitors the status of routes installed in the Routing Information Base (RIB) and reports nexthop changes that affect internal BGP (iBGP) or external BGP (eBGP) prefixes directly to the BGP process. This improves the overall BGP convergence time, by allowing BGP to respond rapidly to nexthop changes for routes installed in the RIB.

If nexthop tracking is enabled after certain routes are learned, the registration of all nexthops for selected BGP routes is done after the nexthop tracking feature is enabled. If nexthop tracking is disabled, and if there are still some selected BGP routes, BGP de-registers the nexthops of all selected BGP routes from NSM.

Use the no parameter with this command to disable this feature. If the no command is given when nexthop tracking is in the process of execution, an error appears and nexthop tracking is not disabled. However, if the nexthop tracking timer is running at the time of negation, the nexthop tracking timer is stopped, and nexthop tracking is disabled.

Command Syntaxbgp nexthop-trigger enable

no bgp nexthop-trigger enable

ParametersNone

DefaultNexthop tracking is disabled by default, however, when nexthop tracking is enabled, and the delay time interval is not configured, the default nexthop delay time-interval is used, which is 5 seconds.

BGP Commands

distance bgpUse this command to define an administrative distance. This distance is a rating of trustworthiness of a router. The higher the distance the lower the trust rating. The administrative distance can be set for external, internal and local routes. External paths are routes learned from a neighbor out of the AS. The internal routes are routes learned from another router within the same AS. Local routes are for the router that is being redistributed from another process.

If the administrative distance is changed, it could create inconsistency in the routing table and obstruct routing. Use this command in Router mode to set the administrative distance for all address families. Use this command in Address Family mode to set the administrative distance per an IPv4 or IPv6 family.

Use the no parameter with this command to remove an administrative distance.

Command Syntaxdistance bgp [<1-255>|<1-255>|<1-255>]

no distance bgp [<1-255>|<1-255>|<1-255>]

Parameters<1-255> Range of values for distance for BGP external routes.

<1-255> Range of values for distance for BGP internal routes.

<1-255> Range of values for distance for BGP local routes.

DefaultThe default distance for external routes is 20.

The default distance for internal routes is 200.

The default distance for local routes is 200.

Command ModeRouter mode, Address Family IPv4 mode, and Address Family IPv6 mode

ExamplesThe following example shows how to set the administrative distance for BGP for all address families.

BGP Commands

ip extcommunity-list standardUse this command to create and delete a standard extended-community list. The extended community attribute is 8 bytes in 2 formats. The sub-type can be route target (rt) or site of origin (soo). Thus, the sub-type of each community must be specified when creating the extended community list. Regarding the formats, an extended community is based on the 6 byte value; these 6 bytes are represented in 4btyes:2bytes format:

• Format 1, AA:NN: The 16 bit value of the AS number is represented in higher-order 4 bytes. If the extended ASN capability is enabled, the AS number is represented using higher-order 4 bytes. The NN assigned value is represented in low-order 2 bytes in both cases.

• Format 2, IPaddr:NN: In this format, the higher-order 4 bytes are used to represent the IP address, and the low-order 2 bytes are used to represent the assigned value.

Use the no parameter with this command to delete the extended-community-list entry.

BGP Commands

mpls-resolutionUse this command to allow BGP to query the NSM for preexisting LSPs (from RSVP or LDP), enabling BGP to map prefixes to these LSPs. For example, BGP peer (5.5.5.5/32) advertises a prefix 10.10.10.10/32 to the current BGP daemon. If mpls-resolution is enabled, BGP queries NSM to confirm if there is an LSP from current router to 5.5.5.5/32. If yes, BGP installs this IP route into the NSM, and also creates an FTN entry in the NSM. NSM subsequently installs this in the MPLS Forwarder and uses the outgoing label, ifindex and nexthop data of the LSP. This allows IP packets destined for 10.10.10.10/32 to be mapped onto a preexisting MPLS LSP.

If the LSP is already up, the mapping is done while BGP is installing IP routes to the NSM. If the LSP is removed after BGP has already mapped a prefix to an LSP, the mapping is withdrawn from the NSM.

The no mpls-resolution resets all peer information in BGP, and BGP needs to set up connections with its peers again. Since the mpls-resolution flag is not set, no mapping takes place.

BGP Commands

neighbor prefix-listUse this command to specify a prefix list for filtering BGP advertisements. Filtering by prefix list matches the prefixes of routes with those listed in the prefix list. If there is a match, the route is used. An empty prefix list permits all prefixes. If a given prefix does not match any entries of a prefix list, the route is denied access. When multiple entries of a prefix list match a prefix, the entry with the smallest sequence number is considered to be a real match.

The router begins the search at the top of the prefix list, with the sequence number 1. Once a match or deny occurs, the router does not need to go through the rest of the prefix list. For efficiency the most common matches or denies are listed at the top. The neighbor distribute-list command is an alternative to this command and only one of them can be used for filtering to the same neighbor in any direction.

Use the no parameter with this command to remove an entry.

Command Syntaxneighbor (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD) prefix-list (WORD in|out)

no neighbor (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD) prefix-list (WORD in|out)

BGP Commands

neighbor remote-asThis command establishes BGP peering with a customer edge router.

Use this command to specify a neighbor’s autonomous system number. If the specified ASN matches the ASN number specified in the router bgp global configuration, the neighbor is identified as internal, if not (ASN does not match) then external, to the local AS. The specified neighbor exchanges only unicast address prefixes, unless the neighbor is also activated using the neighbor activate command which allows the exchange of other routing information.

Use the no parameter with this command to delete this peering.

Command Syntaxneighbor (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD) remote-as <1-4294967295>

no neighbor (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD) remote-as <1-4294967295>

ParametersA.B.C.D The address of the BGP neighbor in IPv4 format.

X:X::X:X The address of the BGP neighbor in IPv6 format.

BGP Commands

neighbor route-reflector-clientUse this command to configure the router as a BGP route reflector and configure the specified neighbor as its client. Route reflectors are a solution for the explosion of iBGP peering within an autonomous system. By route reflection the number of iBGP peers within an AS is reduced. Use this command to configure the local router as the route reflector and specify neighbors as its client. An AS can have more than one route reflector. One route reflector treats the other route reflector as another iBGP speaker.

Use the no parameter with this command to indicate that the neighbor is not a client.

BGP Commands

neighbor send-communityUse this command to specify that a community attribute should be sent to a BGP neighbor. The community attribute groups destinations in a certain community and applies routing decisions according to those communities. On receiving community attributes the router reannounces them to the neighbor. Only when the no parameter is used with this command the community attributes are not reannounced to the neighbor. By default, both standard and extended community attributes are sent to a neighbor. To explicitly send only the standard or extended community attribute, run the bgp config-type command with the standard parameter, before running this command.

Use the no parameter with this command to remove the entry. Use the extended and no parameters to remove extended communities. If no other parameter is used with the no parameters, this only removes the standard communities.

BGP Commands

neighbor weightUse this command to specify a weight value, per address-family, to all routes learned from a neighbor. The route with the highest weight gets preference when the same prefix is learned from more than one peer. Unlike the local-preference attribute, the weight attribute is relevant only to the local router. The weights assigned using the set weight command override the weights assigned using this command.

Use this command in Router mode to specify a weight value for all address families. Use this command in Address Family mode to specify a weight value per IPv4/IPv6/VPNv4/6PE address family,

When the weight is set for a peer group, all members of the peer group get the same weight. This command can also be used to assign a different weight to an individual peer-group member. When an individually-configured weight of a peer-group member is removed, its weight is reset to its peer-group’s weight.

Use the no parameter with this command to remove a weight assignment.

Command Syntaxneighbor (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD) weight <0-65535>

no neighbor (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD) weight <0-65535>

ParametersA.B.C.D The address of the BGP neighbor in IPv4 format.

X:X::X:X The address of the BGP neighbor in IPv6 format.

WORD Name of an existing peer-group.

Note: For information about how to create peer groups, refer to the neighbor peer-group and neighbor remote-as commands. When this parameter is used with a command, the command applies to all peers in the specified group.

<0-65535> Range of values for the weight this command assigns to the route.

Command ModeRouter mode, Address-Family mode

BGP Commands

redistributeUse this command to inject routes from one routing process into another. Redistribution is used by routing protocols to advertise routes that are learned by some other means, such as by another routing protocol or by static routes. Since all internal routes are dumped into BGP, careful filtering is applied to make sure that only routes to be advertised reach the internet, not everything. This command allows redistribution by injecting prefixes from one routing protocol into another routing protocol.

Use the no parameter with this command to disable this function.

Command Syntaxredistribute [connected|isis|kernel|ospf|rip|static] (route-map WORD)

no redistribute [connected|isis|kernel|ospf|rip|static] (route-map WORD)

BGP Commands

set-overload-bitUse this command to set the overload-bit in self-LSPs. If the overload-bit is set in LSPs, the router is not used as a transit router during SPF calculation. This command causes a router to update its own LSP with the overload bit set and causes the other routers not to use this router as a transit or forwarding router. The router continues to receive LSPs when the overload bit is set. If the on-startup option is specified, the router sets the overload bit only at startup, then clears the bit after the specified interval has elapsed. If the on-startup option is specified using the wait-for-bgp option, the overload bit is setup at startup, then the bit is cleared after the BGP router signals it has finished converging or if the router does not signal it has finished converging in 10 minutes. If there is no BGP process running, the overload bit clears immediately.

If the BGP process is started later than the overload bit is set, the bit clears after the BGP router signals it has finished converging or if the BGP router does not signal it has finished converging in 10 minutes. If the suppress option is specified, the router suppresses the redistribution of specified types of reachability data during overload state. The suppress option can be used with the external or interlevel parameters, or both parameters.

Use the no parameter to clear the overload-bit from self-LSPs.

Command Syntax set-overload-bit [on-startup|<5-86400>|wait-for-bgp|suppress (external| interlevel)]

set-overload-bit [suppress (external|interlevel)|on-startup|<5-86400>|wait-for-bgp]

no set-overload-bit

Parameterson-startup Designate an interval in seconds after which the overload state is exited.

suppress Indicate to suppress specific types of IP prefixes.

<5-86400> Range of values, in seconds, to advertise one’s self as overloaded after reboot.

wait-for-bgp

Choose how BGP determines when to unset the overload bit.

external Redistribute external reachability to prevent IP prefixes learned from other protocols from being advertised.

interlevel Redistribute inter-level reachability.

DefaultBy default, no overload-bit is set.

Command ModeRouter mode

ExampleThis example sets overload bit at startup, does not unset the overload bit until BGP converges, suppresses redistribution between levels, and suppresses redistribution from external routing protocols while the overload bit is set.

BGP Commands

synchronizationUse this command to enable IGP synchronization of Internal BGP (iBGP) learned routes with the Internal Gateway Protocol (IGP) system in the router configuration mode or in the address-family configuration mode.

Synchronization is used when a BGP router should not advertise routes learned from iBGP neighbors, unless those routes are also present in an IGP (for example, OSPF). Synchronization may be enabled when all the routers in an autonomous system do not speak BGP, and the autonomous system is a transit for other autonomous systems.

The no synchronization command is used when BGP router can advertise routes learned from its iBGP neighbors without waiting for the IGP reachability to be present.

Command Syntaxsynchronization

no synchronization

ParametersNone

DefaultIGP synchronization is disabled.

Command ModeRouter mode and Address Family modes

ExamplesThe following example enables IGP synchronization of iBGP routes in Router mode.

BGP4+ Command

aggregate-addressUse this command to configure BGP aggregate entries.

Aggregates are used to minimize the size of routing tables. Aggregation combines the characteristics of several different routes and advertises a single route. This command creates an aggregate entry in the BGP routing table if any more-specific BGP routes are available in the specified range. Using the summary-only parameter advertises the prefix only, suppressing more-specific routes to neighbors.

The as-set parameter creates an aggregate entry advertising the path for this route, consisting of all elements contained in all paths being summarized. Use the as-set parameter to reduce the size of path information by listing the AS number only once, even if it was included in multiple paths that were aggregated. The as-set parameter is useful when aggregation of information results in an incomplete path information.

Use the no parameter with this command to disable this functionality.

Command Syntaxaggregate-address [A.B.C.D/M (as-set|summary-only)]

no aggregate-address [A.B.C.D/M (as-set|summary-only)]

BGP4+ Command

neighbor capabilityUse this command to enable Outbound Router Filtering (ORF), and advertise the ORF capability to its neighbors. The ORFs send and receive capabilities to lessen the number of updates exchanged between neighbors. By filtering updates, this option minimizes generating and processing of updates. The local router advertises the ORF capability in send mode, and the remote router receives the ORF capability in receive mode applying the filter as outbound policy. The two routers exchange updates to maintain the ORF for each router. Only an individual router or a peer group can be configured to be in receive or send mode. A peer-group member cannot be configured to be in receive or send mode.

BGP4+ Command

neighbor prefix-listUse this command to specify a prefix list for filtering BGP advertisements. Filtering by prefix list matches the prefixes of routes with those listed in the prefix list. If there is a match, the route is used. An empty prefix list permits all prefixes. If a given prefix does not match any entries of a prefix list, the route is denied access. When multiple entries of a prefix list match a prefix, the entry with the smallest sequence number is considered to be a real match.

The router begins the search at the top of the prefix list, with the sequence number 1. Once a match or deny occurs, the router does not need to go through the rest of the prefix list. For efficiency the most common matches or denies are listed at the top. The neighbor distribute-list command is an alternative to this command and only one of them can be used for filtering to the same neighbor in any direction.

Use the no parameter with this command to remove an entry.

BGP4+ Command

neighbor route-reflector-clientUse this command to configure the router as a BGP route reflector and configure the specified neighbor as its client.

Route reflectors are a solution for the explosion of iBGP peering within an autonomous system. By route reflection the number of iBGP peers within an AS is reduced. Use the neighbor route-reflector-client command to configure the local router as the route reflector and specify neighbors as its client. An AS can have more than one route reflector. One route reflector treats the other route reflector as another iBGP speaker.

Use the no parameter with this command to indicate that the neighbor is not a client.

BGP4+ Command

networkUse this command to specify the networks to be advertised by the BGP routing process. Use the backdoor parameter to specify a backdoor route to a BGP border router that will provide better information about the network. For data to be advertised by BGP, its routing table must include a route to the specified network. This command specifies the networks to be advertised. The network command works if the network being advertised is known to the router.

The backdoor parameter enables a route to be the preferred route even if it has a greater distance. A network that is specified as a backdoor network is not sourced by the local router but is learned from the external routers. In the following example, 172.10.0.0 is treated as a local entry but is advertised differently.

Use the no parameter with this command to remove an entry.

Command Syntaxnetwork [A.B.C.D|A.B.C.D/M|synchronization] (backdoor|routemap WORD|mask {A.B.C.D})

BGP4+ Command

redistributeUse this command to inject routes from one routing process into another. Redistribution is used by routing protocols to advertise routes that are learned by some other means, such as by another routing protocol or by static routes. Since all internal routes are dumped into BGP, careful filtering is applied to make sure that only routes to be advertised reach the internet, not everything. This command allows redistribution by injecting prefixes from one routing protocol into another routing protocol.

Use the no parameter with this command to disable this functionality.

BGP VPN Commands

address-familyUse this command to configure routing exchange between Provider Edge (PE) and Customer Edge (CE) devices.

The BGP sessions between PE routers can carry different types of routes (VPN-IPv4, IPv4, VPN-IPv6 and IPv6 routes). Address families are used to control the type of BGP session. Configure a BGP address family for each VRF configured on the PE router and a separate address family to carry VPN-IPv4 routes between PE routers. All non VPN BGP neighbors are defined using the Router mode. All VPN BGP neighbors are defined under its associated Address Family mode. The BGP process with no address-family specified, is the default address-family where any sessions are configured that either are not associated with a VRF or are used to carry IPv4 or IPv6 routes.

Command Syntaxaddress-family [ipv4 multicast|unicast|vrf NAME] [ipv6 unicast|labeled-unicast|vrf NAME] [vpnv4 unicast] [vpnv6 unicast]

no address-family [ipv4 vrf NAME] [ipv6 vrf NAME]

Parametersipv4 Specify the IPv4 address family.

multicast Identify multicast as an address-family modifier.

unicast Identify unicast as an address-family modifier.

vrf VPN routing/forwarding instance

NAME Name of the VRF instance

ipv6 Specify the IPv6 address family

unicast Identify unicast as an address-family modifier.

labeled-unicast

Identify labeled-unicast as an address-family modifier for IPv6.

vrf VPN routing/forwarding instance

NAME Name of the VRF instance

vpnv4 Specify the VPNv4 address family

unicast Identify unicast as an address-family modifier.

vpnv6 Specify the VPNv6 address family

unicast Identify unicast as an address-family modifier.

Command ModeRouter mode

ExamplesThis example places the router in address family configuration mode and specifies vrf1 as the name of the VRF instance to associate with subsequent IPv4 address family configuration mode commands:

ZebOS(config)#router bgp 100ZebOS(config-router)#address-family ipv4 vrf IPIZebOS(config-router-af)#

BGP VPN Commands

bgp inbound-route-filterUse this command to control the installation of routing information into the BGP table.

When a router runs MPLS VPN/BGP PE, it exchanges routing information with a routing distinguisher. By default, ZebOS does not install routing information that does not match the configured routing distinguisher value. When the local box has two VRFs where each routing distinguisher value is 10:100 and 20:200, routing information with routing distinguisher 10:200 is not installed into BGP table.

When no bgp inbound-route-filter is configured, all of routing information is installed into the BGP table.

Command Syntaxbgp inbound-route-filter

no bgp inbound-route-filter

ParameterNone

DefaultEnabled, the router performs the routing distinguisher value check, by default.

BGP VPN Commands

neighbor allowas-inUse this command to configure PE routers to allow re-advertisement of all prefixes containing duplicate Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs).

In a hub and spoke configuration, a PE router re-advertises all prefixes containing duplicate ASNs. Use the neighbor allowas-in command to configure two VRFs on each PE router to receive and re-advertise prefixes. One of the VRFs receives prefixes with ASNs from all PE routers and then advertises them to neighboring PE routers. The other VRF receives prefixes with ASNs from the CE router and re-advertises them to all PE routers in the hub and spoke configuration. Control the number of times an ASN is advertised, by specifying a number from 1 to 10.

Use the no parameter with this command to disable the re-advertisement of a PE router's ASN.

BGP VPN Commands

neighbor as-overrideUse this command to configure a PE router to override the Autonomous System Number (ASN) of a site with the ASN of a provider. BGP normally ignores the routes from the same AS. However, this command is used to override the customer‘s ASN in BGP, so that the customer CE accepts and installs routes from the same AS.

Typically, this command is used when Customer Edge (CE) routers have the same ASN in some or all sites. As per BGP requirement, a BGP speaker rejects a route that has the same ASN as itself, in the AS_PATH attribute. Thus the CE routers having the same ASN do not accept routes from each other. Configuring the neighbor as-override command on the PE router removes the CE neighbor’s ASN from the AS_PATH attribute allowing CE routers with the same ASN to accept routes from each other.

Use the no parameter with this command to remove VPN IPv4 or VPN IPv6 prefixes from a specified router.

Command Syntaxneighbor (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD) as-override

no neighbor (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD) as-override

Appendix A Regular Expressions

This appendix describes regular expression special characters that are used in commands such as ip as-path access-list and ip community-list expanded. You can use these characters in combination to build complex regular expressions.

Symbol Character Meaning

^ Caret Used to match the beginning of the input string. When used at the beginning of a string of characters, it negates a pattern match

$ Dollar sign Used to match the end of the input string

. Period Used to match a single character (white spaces included)

* Asterisk Used to match none or more sequences of a pattern

+ Plus sign Used to match one or more sequences of a pattern

? Question mark Used to match none or one occurrence of a pattern

_ Underscore Used to match spaces, commas, braces, parenthesis, or the beginning and end of an input string

[] Brackets Specify a range of single-characters

- Hyphen Separates the end points of a range
