Redistributing customer routes into BGP

Redistributing customer routes into BGP

For example, if you use static routing with your customers and want to redistribute the static routes into BGP, use the following configuration (I’ve used tag 123 to tag static routes that should get inserted into
BGP).

router bgp 65001
 redistribute static route-map StaticToBGP
!
route-map StaticToBGP permit 10
 match tag 123
 set community no-export additive

When you configure a static route toward the IP subnet 10.1.2.0/24 …

ip route 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 Null0 tag 123

… it’s automatically inserted in the BGP table and marked with the no-export community:

R1#show ip bgp 10.1.2.0

table entry for 10.1.2.0/24, version 3
