BGP neighbor unsuppress-map

Using the aggregate-address command with no arguments will create an aggregate entry in the BGP routing table if there are any more-specific BGP routes available that fall in the specified range. The aggregate route will be advertised as coming from your autonomous system and has the atomic aggregate attribute set to show that information might be missing. (By default, the atomic aggregate attribute is set unless you specify the as-set keyword.)

If a subset of suppressed routes needs to be made available, you can unsuppress those routes on a per-neighbor basis using the neighbor unsuppress-map command.

BGP aggregate-address suppress-map

Using the aggregate-address command with no arguments will create an aggregate entry in the BGP routing table if there are any more-specific BGP routes available that fall in the specified range. The aggregate route will be advertised as coming from your autonomous system and has the atomic aggregate attribute set to show that information might be missing. (By default, the atomic aggregate attribute is set unless you specify the as-set keyword.)

Using the suppress-map keyword creates the aggregate route but suppresses advertisement of specified routes. You can use the match clauses of route maps to selectively suppress some more-specific routes of the aggregate and leave others unsuppressed. IP access lists and autonomous system path access lists match clauses are supported.

BGP aggregate-address as-set

Using the aggregate-address command with no arguments will create an aggregate entry in the BGP routing table if there are any more-specific BGP routes available that fall in the specified range. The aggregate route will be advertised as coming from your autonomous system and has the atomic aggregate attribute set to show that information might be missing. (By default, the atomic aggregate attribute is set unless you specify the as-set keyword.)

Using the as-set keyword creates an aggregate entry using the same rules that the command follows without this keyword, but the path advertised for this route will be an AS_SET consisting of all elements contained in all paths that are being summarized. Do not use this form of aggregate-address when aggregating many paths, because this route must be continually withdrawn and re-updated as autonomous system path reachability information for the summarized routes changes.

Cisco IOS Group Encrypted Transport VPN (GETVPN)


Cisco’s Group Encrypted Transport VPN (GET VPN) introduces the concept of a trusted group to eliminate point-to-point tunnels and their associated overlay routing. All group members (GMs) share a common security association (SA), also known as a group SA. This enables GMs to decrypt traffic that was encrypted by any other GM. (Note that IPsec CE acts as a GM.) In GET VPN networks, there is no need to negotiate point-to- point IPsec tunnels between the members of a group, because GET VPN is “tunnel-less.”

The IETF standard RFC-6407 Group Domain of Interpretation (GDOI) is an integral part of GET VPN. The GDOI protocol was introduced in 12.4(2)T but the GET VPN solution with several enhancements was released in 12.4(11)T.

1.1 Key GET VPN Benefits
  • Instantaneous large-scale any-to-any IP connectivity using a group IPsec security paradigm
  • Takes advantage of underlying IP VPN routing infrastructure and does not require an overlay routing control plane
  • Seamlessly integrates with multicast infrastructures without the multicast replication issues typically seen in traditional tunnel-based IPsec solutions.
  • Preserves the IP source and destination addresses during the IPsec encryption and encapsulation process. Therefore GET VPN integrates very well with features such as QoS and traffic engineering.

1.2 Technology Overview
  • GDOI (RFC 6407)
  • Key servers (KSs)
  • Cooperative (COOP) KSs
  • GMs.
  • IP tunnel header preservation
  • Group security association
  • Rekey mechanism
  • Time-based anti-replay (TBAR)
