Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routing Configuration Guide

PurposeCommand or Action
Configures a fixed router ID for a BGP-speaking router.
bgp router-id ip-address
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-vrf)# bgp
router-id 172.16.9.9
Step 4
label mode per-ce
Step 5
•
Configures the per-CE label allocation mode to avoid an
extra lookup on the PE router and conserve label space
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-vrf)# label
mode per-ce
(per-prefix is the default label allocation mode). In this
mode, the PE router allocates one label for every immediate
next-hop (in most cases, this would be a CE router). This
label is directly mapped to the next hop, so there is no VRF
route lookup performed during data forwarding. However,
the number of labels allocated would be one for each CE
rather than one for each VRF. Because BGP knows all the
next hops, it assigns a label for each next hop (not for each
PE-CE interface). When the outgoing interface is a
multiaccess interface and the media access control (MAC)
address of the neighbor is not known, Address Resolution
Protocol (ARP) is triggered during packet forwarding.
•
The per-vrf keyword configures the same label to be used
for all the routes advertised from a unique VRF.
Specifies either an IPv4 or IPv6 address family unicast and enters
address family configuration submode.
address-family { ipv4 | ipv6 } unicast
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-vrf)#
address-family ipv4 unicast
Step 6

command, use the CLI help (?).
Originates a network prefix in the address family table in the VRF
context.
network { ip-address / prefix-length | ip-address
mask }
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-vrf-af)#
Step 7
network 172.16.5.5/24
Configures aggregation in the VRF address family context to
summarize routing information to reduce the state maintained in
aggregate-address address / mask-length
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-vrf-af)#
aggregate-address 10.0.0.0/24
Step 8
the core. This summarization introduces some inefficiency in the
PE edge, because an additional lookup is required to determine
the ultimate next hop for a packet. When configured, a summary
prefix is advertised instead of a set of component prefixes, which
are more specifics of the aggregate. The PE advertises only one
label for the aggregate. Because component prefixes could have
different next hops to CEs, an additional lookup has to be
performed during data forwarding.
