Configure Allowed Networks

Configure network addresses to determine the network addresses that BGP advertises. The allowed addresses determine the BGP networks that originate from the switch.

Before you begin

  • To perform this procedure on a non-default VRF, you must first change the VRF instance. For information about how to use EDM for a non-default VRF, see Select and Launch a VRF Context View. All parameters might not be available in non-default VRFs.

  • The VRF must have an RP trigger of BGP.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > IP.
  2. Select BGP.
  3. Select the Network tab.
  4. Select Insert.
  5. Configure the network address, mask, and metric.
  6. Select Insert.
