BGP Routing Policy Page
Networks The networks associated with the BGP route. Enter one or more network
addresses or network/host objects, or click Select to display an Object
Selectors, page F-593.
If the network you want is not listed, click the Create button in the selector
to display the Network/Host Dialog Box, page F-477. From here you can
define a network/host object.
Note To remove a network from the route, select it from the Network field,
then click Delete.
Neighbors The internal neighbors (those located in the same AS as the router) and
external neighbors (located in different ASs) of the router. See Neighbors
Dialog Box, page K-222.
Auto-Summary When selected, automatic summarization is enabled. When a subnet is
redistributed from an IGP (such as RIP, OSPF or EIGRP) into BGP, this BGP
version 3 feature injects only the network route into the BGP table.
Automatic summarization reduces the size and complexity of the routing
table that the router must maintain.
When deselected, automatic summarization is disabled. This is the default.
Synchronization When selected, synchronization is enabled. Use this feature to ensure that all
routers in your network are consistent about the routes they advertise.
Synchronization forces BGP to wait until the IGP propagates routing
information across the AS.
When deselected, synchronization is disabled. You can disable
synchronization if this router does not pass traffic from a different AS to a
third AS, or if all the routers in the AS are running BGP. Disabling this
feature has the benefit of reducing the number of routes the IGP must carry,
which improves convergence times. This is the default.
Log-Neighbor When selected, enables the logging of messages that are generated when a
BGP neighbors resets, connects to the network, or is disconnected. This is
the default.
When deselected, message logging is disabled.
