BGP Regular Expression Optimization BGP policies that contain regular expressions to match against as-paths and communities might take a lot of CPU processing time, thus affect BGP routing convergence. Also, show bgp commands that get filtered through regular expressions can to take a lot of CPU cycles, especially when the database is large. FTOS optimizes processing time when using regular expressions by caching and re-using regular expression evaluated results, at the expense of some memory in RP1 processor. This feature is turned on by default. Use the command bgp regex-eval-optz-disable in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode to disable it if necessary. Retain NH in BGP Advertisement BGP does not update the NEXT_HOP attribute if it is a Route-Reflector. bgp retain-ibgp-nexthop can be configured to retain the NEXT_HOP attribute when advertising to internal BGP peer. Debugging BGP Use any of the commands in EXEC Privilege mode to enable BGP debugging. Command Syntax debug ip bgp [ip-address | peer-group peer-group-name] [in | out] debug ip bgp dampening [in | out] debug ip bgp [ip-address | peer-group peer-group-name] events [in | out] debug ip bgp [ip-address | peer-group peer-group-name] keepalive [in | out] debug ip bgp [ip-address | peer-group peer-group-name] notifications [in | out] debug ip bgp [ip-address | peer-group peer-group-name] updates [in | out] [prefix-list name] Command Mode EXEC Privilege EXEC Privilege EXEC Privilege EXEC Privilege EXEC Privilege EXEC Privilege Purpose View all information on BGP, including BGP events, keepalives, notifications, and updates. View information on BGP route being dampened. View information on local BGP state changes and other BGP events. View information about BGP KEEPALIVE messages. View information about BGP notifications received from or sent to neighbors. View information about BGP updates and filter by prefix name Border Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4) | 267

BGP Regular Expression Optimization

BGP policies that contain regular expressions to match against as-paths and communities might take a lot

of CPU processing time, thus affect BGP routing convergence. Also,

show bgp

commands that get filtered

through regular expressions can to take a lot of CPU cycles, especially when the database is large. FTOS

optimizes processing time when using regular expressions by caching and re-using regular expression

evaluated results, at the expense of some memory in RP1 processor. This feature is turned on by default.

Use the command

bgp regex-eval-optz-disable

in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode to

disable it if necessary.

Retain NH in BGP Advertisement

BGP does not update the NEXT_HOP attribute if it is a Route-Reflector.

bgp retain-ibgp-nexthop

can be

configured to retain the NEXT_HOP attribute when advertising to internal BGP peer.

Debugging BGP

Use any of the commands in EXEC Privilege mode to enable BGP debugging.
