Foundry Configuration Guide for the FESX, FSX, and FWSX

Here is an example.
The aggregate-address command configures an aggregate address. The summary-only parameter prevents
the Layer 3 Switch from advertising more specific routes contained within the aggregate route. The show ip bgp
route command shows that the more specific routes aggregated into 209.1.0.0/16 have been suppressed. In this
case, the route to 209.1.44.0/24 has been suppressed. The following command indicates that the route is not
being advertised to the Layer 3 Switch’s BGP4 neighbors.
If you want to override the summary-only parameter and allow a specific route to be advertised to a neighbor,
enter commands such as the following:
The ip prefix-list command configures an IP prefix list for network 209.1.44.0/24, which is the route you want to
unsuppress. The next two commands configure a route map that uses the prefix list as input. The neighbor
command enables the Layer 3 Switch to advertise the routes specified in the route map to neighbor 10.1.0.2. The
clear command performs a soft reset of the session with the neighbor so that the Layer 3 Switch can advertise the
unsuppressed route.
Syntax: [no] neighbor <ip-addr> | <peer-group-name> unsuppress-map <map-name>
