Policies and Filters
Actions
• A BGP4 address filter applied to inbound packets permits (learns) or denies (drops) the specified network
address in BGP4 updates received from a BGP4 neighbor.
• A BGP4 address filter applied to outbound packets permits (advertises) or denies (drops) the specified
network address in BGP4 updates the device sends to a BGP4 neighbor.
Scope
You define BGP4 address filters globally, then apply them as part of a BGP4 neighbor's distribute list or as part of
a match statement in a route map.
Syntax
Use the following CLI commands or Web management interface panels to configure BGP4 address filters.

NOTE: The neighbor command adds a BGP neighbor. The distribute-list parameter specifies a list of address
filters and whether the list is applied to inbound or outbound BGP updates.
NOTE: The match command compares the information you configure for the command’s parameters against
BGP routes. You use this command when configuring a route map. If the comparison matches a route, set
statements in the route map specify the action to take. See “Defining Route Maps” on page 10-59.
BGP4 AS-Path Filters
BGP4 AS-path filters control whether the device learns or drops BGP4 route information based on the route’s AS-
path. The AS-path is the list of BGP4 autonomous systems (ASs) through which the route information has
traveled to reach the device.
Actions
• A BGP4 AS-path filter applied to inbound packets permits (learns) or denies (drops) routes for networks with
the specified AS-path in BGP4 updates received from a BGP4 neighbor.
• A BGP4 AS-path filter applied to outbound packets permits (advertises) or denies (drops) routes for networks
with the specified AS-path in BGP4 updates sent to a BGP4 neighbor.
