BGP Prevent AS from being a Transit AS
unknown
I have a BGP setup that looks like this, and although it is working great for two WAN circuits (for redundancy), I would rather advertise only local routes though.. Currently, I am doing an AS Pre-Pend to load-balance the incoming traffic a little, and it is working great in that if I go to another site and do a traceroute, I can confirm the subnets come in from the proper eBGP neighbors. In fact, if I do it from a BGP enabled router, it even shows the AS PATH in the traceroute...
This works perfectly fine thus far but no filtering to only advertise local routes out:
router bgp
local-as
neighbor remote-as
neighbor remote-as
address-family ipv4 unicast
redistribute connected
neighbor route-map out PreferBGP-A
neighbor route-map out PreferBGP-B
exit-address-family
address-family ipv6 unicast
exit-address-family
!
route-map PreferBGP-A permit 10
match ip address prefix-list Deliver-BGP-B
set as-path prepend
route-map PreferBGP-A permit 20
match ip address prefix-list permitAny
!
route-map PreferBGP-B permit 10
match ip address prefix-list Deliver-BGP-A
set as-path prepend
route-map PreferBGP-B permit 20
match ip address prefix-list permitAny
!
ip prefix-list permitAny seq 5 permit 0.0.0.0/0 le 32
!
ip prefix-list Deliver-BGP-B seq 5 permit
/21
ip prefix-list Deliver-BGP-B seq 10 permit
/23
ip prefix-list Deliver-BGP-B seq 15 permit
/24
!
ip prefix-list Deliver-BGP-A seq 5 permit
/21
ip prefix-list Deliver-BGP-A seq 10 permit
/21
ip prefix-list Deliver-BGP-A seq 15 permit
/24
ip prefix-list Deliver-BGP-A seq 20 permit
/28
If I do a
SwitchName#
show ip bgp neighbors advertised-routes
I see at or about 400 advertised routes because it is learning my WAN from the first neighbor and advertising to the second neighbor.
While I doubt AT&T is going to set as a Transit AS being it surely has a longer AS path, I would rather not advertise what I learn from one neighbor to the other. That is I want to advertise my Local-Only out.
What if I add this:
SSH@SwitchName(config)# ip as-path access-list
Local-Only
seq 5 permit ^$
and this:
SSH@SwitchName(config)#router bgp
SSH@SwitchName(config-bgp-router)#neighbor filterlist
Local-Only
out
SSH@SwitchName(config-bgp-router)#neighbor filterlist
Local-Only
out
Or what if I change the second line of my route-map to no longer permit any but instead:
route-map PreferBGP-A permit 10
match ip address prefix-list Deliver-BGP-B
set as-path prepend
route-map PreferBGP-A permit 20
match
as-path Local-Only
!
route-map PreferBGP-B permit 10
match ip address prefix-list Deliver-BGP-A
set as-path prepend
route-map PreferBGP-B permit 20
match
as-path Local-Only
!
Overall, this explains what I am trying to do:

I think I like the idea of the filter-list better:

Is there any issue with doing it either of these two ways? This just happens to be on a 6610-24F
Thank you

I should respond back and indicate I did this as a filter-list, and it worked very well. I was announcing about 392 routes though locally I had 9 subnets at this site.
After the tweak, I checked each neighbor and it is only announcing local routes. The AS Pretending I already have is still working perfect.
I am checking with this:
sh ip bgp neighbors advertised-routes
