Specifying the Gateway Mode
You can configure the EGP router to operate in one of two gateway modes for any
given IP interface:
• Noncore. When the router is configured as a noncore gateway, the AS to
which it belongs acts as a stub AS. It advertises and forwards only traffic that
originated or is destined for a network within its AS.
• Core. When the router is configured as a core gateway, the AS to which it
belongs acts as a transit AS. In the core mode, it can advertise and forward
traffic to networks that are reachable inside or outside of its local AS.
If you choose noncore mode, the AS to which this EGP neighbor belongs will act
as a stub AS. That is, it will advertise only networks that reside within the AS.
The default gateway mode is core mode. If the EGP router is reconfigured to run
in noncore mode, the Site Manager automatically configures EGP export route
filters on that IP interface. This action suppresses OSPF external routes to EGP
and the advertisement of any networks learned by EGP.
You can use Site Manager to specify the gateway mode of this EGP neighbor.
