19.25 set origin
Use this command to set the BGP origin code. 
Use the no parameter with this command to delete an entry. 
The origin attribute defines the origin of the path information. The three parameters with this 
command indicate three different values. IGP is interior to the originating AS. This happens if IGP 
is redistributed into the BGP. EGP is learned through an Exterior Gateway Protocol. Incomplete is 
unknown or learned through some other means. This happens when static route is redistributed in 
BGP and the origin of the route is incomplete. 
 
To use the set origin command, you must first have a match clause. Match and set commands set 
the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol to another. The match command 
specifies the match criteria under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-map. The set 
command specifies the set redistribution actions to be performed, if the match criteria are met. 
If the packets do not match any of the defined criteria, they are routed through the normal routing 
process. 
Note:
This command is valid for BGP only.
