Description This command creates an aggregate route.
Use this command to automatically install an aggregate in the routing table when there are one or more
component routes. A component route is any route used for forwarding that is a more-specific match
of the aggregate.
The use of aggregate routes can reduce the number of routes that need to be advertised to neighbor
routers, leading to smaller routing table sizes.
Overlapping aggregate routes may be configured; in this case a route becomes a component of only
the one aggregate route with the longest prefix match. For example if one aggregate is configured as
10.0.0.0/16 and another as 10.0.0.0/24, then route 10.0.128/17 would be aggregated into 10.0.0.0/16,
and route 10.0.0.128/25 would be aggregated into 10.0.0.0/24. If multiple entries are made with the
same prefix and the same mask the previous entry is overwritten.
A standard 4-byte BGP community may be associated with an aggregate route in order to facilitate
route policy matching.
By default aggregate routes are not installed in the forwarding table, however there are configuration
options that allow an aggregate route to be installed with a black-hole next hop or with an indirect IP
address as next hop.
