Enables BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) route aggregation.
This command has no arguments or variables.
Disabled.
Route aggregation is the process of combining the characteristics of several routes so that they are advertised as a single route. Aggregation reduces the amount of information that a BGP speaker must store and exchange with other BGP speakers. Reducing the information that is stored and exchanged also reduces the size of the routing table.
To use BGP route aggregation, follow these steps:
enable bgp aggregation
configure bgp add aggregate-address {address-family [ipv4-unicast | ipv4-multicast |ipv6-unicast | ipv6-multicast]} ipaddress/masklength {as-match | as-set} {summary‑only} {advertise-policy policy} {attribute-policy policy}
The following command enables BGP route aggregation:
enable bgp aggregation
