filters. The device applies the filters in the order in which you list them and stops applying the filters in
the distribute list when a match is found.
To use an IP ACL instead of a distribute list, you can specify distribute-listACL-numin | out . In this
case, ACL-num is an IP ACL.
NOTE
By default, if a route does not match any of the filters, the device denies the route. To change the
default behavior, configure the last filter as permit any any .
NOTE
The address filter must already be configured.
ebgp-btsh enables GTSM protection for the specified neighbor.
ebgp-multihop [num ] specifies that the neighbor is more than one hop away and that the session
type with the neighbor is EBGP-multihop. This option is disabled by default. The num parameter
specifies the TTL you are adding for the neighbor. You can specify a number from 0 through 255. The
default is 0. If you leave the EBGP TTL value set to 0, the software uses the IP TTL value.
enforce-first-as ensures, for this neighbor, that the first AS listed in the AS_SEQUENCE field of an
AS path update message from EBGP neighbors is the AS of the neighbor that sent the update.
filter-list in | out num,num,.. specifies an AS-path filter list or a list of AS-path ACLs. The in and out
keywords specify whether the list is applied on updates received from the neighbor or sent to the
neighbor. If you specify in or out, the num,num,... parameter specifies the list of AS-path filters. The
device applies the filters in the order in which you list them and stops applying the filters in the AS-path
filter list when a match is found.
weight num specifies a weight that the device applies to routes received from the neighbor. You can
specify a number from 0 through 65535.
Alternatively, you can specify filter-list acl-num in | out | weight to use an AS-path ACL instead of an
AS-path filter list. In this case, acl-num is an AS-path ACL.
NOTE
By default, if an AS-path does not match any of the filters or ACLs, the device denies the route. To
change the default behavior, configure the last filter or ACL as permit any any .
NOTE
The AS-path filter or ACL must already be configured.
local-as as-num assigns a local AS number with the value specified by the as-num variable to the
neighbor being configured. The as-num has no default value. Its range is 1 - 4294967295.
NOTE
When the local-as option is used, the device automatically prepends the local AS number to the
routes that are received from the EBGP peer; to disable this behavior, include the no-prepend
keyword.
maxas-limit in num |disable specifies that the device discard routes that exceed a maximum AS path
length received in UPDATE messages. You can specify a value from 0 - 300. The default value is 300.
The disable keyword is used to stop a neighbor from inheriting the configuration from the peer-group
or global and to the use system default value.
