This method is less safe than using prefix lists as it assumes that you trust your peer not to originate prefixes he is not entitled to originate. router bgp 100 log-neighbor-changes no synchronization no auto-summary bgp dampening network 198.6.30.0 mask 255.255.255.0 network 192.5.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 ! first iBGP peer neighbor 198.6.30.252 remote-as 100 neighbor 198.6.30.252 version 4 neighbor 198.6.30.252 description iBGP with X neighbor 198.6.30.252 update-source loopback 0 neighbor 198.6.30.252 send-community ! second iBGP peer neighbor 198.6.30.253 remote-as 100 neighbor 198.6.30.253 version 4 neighbor 198.6.30.253 description iBGP with Y neighbor 198.6.30.253 update-source loopback 0 neighbor 198.6.30.253 send-community ! eBGP neighbour neighbor 193.5.1.1 remote-as 200 !
