Null route bgp

There is no route to Whenever you configure a network statement for BGP, there must be an exact match network and subnet mask for that network statement in your routing table or BGP will ignore the command. It will not give you an error message - it will just ignore the command and not advertise the route.

So in our example, we would have to add separate network statements for each of the router interfaces:. If we did want to advertise those networks with a single command rather than configuring them individually, we can do a little trick to get The way we do that is by configuring a static route going to null0. A null route means 'drop this traffic. The first time people see this, they always think "wait I don't want to do that, it's going to drop all of my traffic going to those networks!

Let see why by looking at the routing table Now what's going happen is this: Say that traffic comes into this router with a destination address of That would match our connected route Traffic is not going to get dropped. Using the null0 route gets the summary of the addresses that match your BGP network statement into the routing table. Once you've done this you can enter the network statement for This is shown for R1 in the screenshot above.

R3 for instance if he lost his direct connection to We can protect against this condition by including an AS set in the AS path of the aggregate route from R2. An AS set is an unordered list of autonomous system numbers, collected from all the routes summarized by the aggregate. Now what if There may be instances where you want to include only certain AS numbers in the aggregate's AS set; an advertise map can be used to achieve this.

Advertise-map specifying the routes whose attributes should be "advertised" via the aggregate. The above configuration allows only AS to be shown and denies the other ASs to be displayed. Routes not matched are still advertised in parallel to the aggregate. Let us assume we want to advertise only the We can use a suppress map on R2 to suppress the two routes we do not want to advertise independently.

In general, when you use advertise-map, only the advertise-map influences the aggregate. In the absence of advertise-map, the aggregate inherits the attributes of the more-specific routes, both suppressed and unsuppressed. In both cases, you can use the attribute-map configuration command to override the chosen attributes. We notice the two routes Attribute map allows you to set the attributes such as metric, the origin of the aggregates etc.

After applying the attribute map , we can see that the aggregate route is now advertised with an origin of incomplete "? Finally, based on Cisco documentation, you should remember the following regarding to the Impact of the Use of suppress-map with Other Configuration Commands. But you can override the inherited attributes with the use of other configuration commands, such as attribute-map. The aggregate inherits the attributes only out of the routes that are selected in the advertise-map, irrespective of whether suppress-map suppresses the route.

All rights reserved. Hi Sarmad ,. Because usually you will have in your routing table some more specific components of the aggregation. Indeed you will drop the traffic if you do not know where to send it, but that would happen only for the components of the aggregation that are missing on the routing table.

That only creates blackhole for traffic to a destination for which a router doesn't have a more specific address. Have a look at this example:.

Router1 learns routes to It also learns routes to These prefixes fall nicely into a summary of Now when a packet comes in for let's say So the packet gets routed using this particular route. So far so good. But what if you lose one of these routes. Let's say later on network A packet comes in again for If the router didn't have a NULL0 route for summary, it would match this packet to a default route and send it towards the default gateway.
