In addition, the BGP-4 update message can include the optional path attributes
listed in Table 1-3
.
BGP/OSPF Interaction
RFC 1745 defines the interaction between BGP and OSPF when OSPF is the IGP
within an autonomous system. For routers running both protocols, the OSPF
router ID and the BGP ID must be the same IP address. A BGP route policy must
be configured to allow BGP advertisement of OSPF routes.
Interaction between BGP-4 and OSPF includes the ability to advertise supernets
to support classless interdomain routing (CIDR). BGP-4 allows interdomain
supernet advertisements; OSPF can carry supernet advertisements within a
routing domain.
Table 1-3. BGP-4 Optional Path Attributes
Attribute Description
Multiexit discriminator Chooses between paths to the destinations listed
Local preference Allows AS border routers to indicate the preference
they assigned to a chosen route when advertising it
to IBGP peers
Atomic aggregate Ensures that certain network layer reachability
information (NLRI) is not deaggregated
Aggregator Identifies which AS performed the most recent route
aggregation. This attribute contains the last AS
number that formed the aggregate route followed by
the IP address of the BGP speaker that formed the
aggregate route.
Cluster list Lists the members of a route reflector cluster
Originator ID Identifies the originator of the route into a route
reflector cluster
BGP community Identifies the communities to which the route
belongs. (A community is a group of destinations that
share some common property.)
