The following BGP attributes are supported by
the switch:
Origin—Defines the origin of the route. Possible values are Interior Gateway
Protocol (IGP), Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP), and incomplete.
AS_Path—The list of ASs that are traversed for this route. The local AS-path
is added to the BGP update packet after the policy is applied.
AS4_Path—This attribute is used by 4-byte peers when sending updates
to 2-byte peers. This attribute carries AS-number information that can be represented only
in 4-bytes.
Next_hop—The IP address of the next hop BGP router to reach the
destination listed in the NLRI field.
Multi_Exit_Discriminator—Used to select a particular border router
in another AS when multiple border routers exist.
Local_Preference—Used to advertise this router‘s degree of
preference to other routers within the AS.
Atomic_aggregate—Indicates that the sending border router has used a
route aggregate prefix in the route update.
Aggregator—Identifies the BGP router AS number and router ID for the
router that performed route aggregation.
AS4_Aggregator: This attribute is used by 4-byte peers when sending
updates to 2-byte peers. This attribute carries AS-number information that can be
represented only in 4-bytes.
Community—Identifies a group of destinations that share one or more
common attributes.
Cluster_ID—Specifies a 4-byte field used by a route reflector to
recognize updates from other route reflectors in the same cluster.
Originator_ID—Specifies the router ID of the originator of the route
in the local AS.
Extended Community—Provides a mechanism for labeling BGP-4 update
messages that carry information
Multiprotocol reachable NLRI—Used to advertise a feasible BGP route
for the non IPv4-unicast address family
Multiprotocol unreachable NLRI—This attribute is used to withdraw
multiple unfeasible routes from service
