Configuring BGP Accept and Announce Policies
Accept and announce policies control the flow of routing information in and out
of the routing table as follows:
• An accept policy determines the external routes that BGP includes in the IP
routing table.
• An announce policy determines the routes in the routing table that BGP
advertises to other routers.
To ensure that every BGP border router within an AS comes to the same decision
in constructing path attributes for an external path, routing policies must be
coordinated among all BGP speakers within an AS. Nortel Networks recommends
that the accept and announce policies on all IBGP connections accept and
advertise all routes. On external BGP connections, you must make consistent
routing policy decisions.
Note:
By default, an external BGP-3 or BGP-4 speaker will neither advertise
any routes to a peer, nor inject any routes into its IGP. Route policies must be
configured to enable any route advertisement.
Note:
In addition to announce and accept policies, Nortel Networks supports
import and export filters for BGP-3. Import and export filters provide a subset
of the parameters provided by the policies. For information about configuring
import and export filters, see Configuring IP, ARP, RARP, RIP, and OSPF
Services.
