BGP Error Handling and Attribute Filtering Syslog Messages
Use the attribute-filter group command to enter Attribute-filter group command mode. Use the attribute
command in attribute-filter group command mode to either discard an attribute or treat the update message
as a "Withdraw" action.
BGP Error Handling and Attribute Filtering Syslog Messages
When a router receives a malformed update packet, an ios_msg of type
ROUTING-BGP-3-MALFORM_UPDATE is printed on the console. This is rate limited to 1 message per
minute across all neighbors. For malformed packets that result in actions "Discard Attribute" (A5) or "Local
Repair" (A6), the ios_msg is printed only once per neighbor per action. This is irrespective of the number of
malformed updates received since the neighbor last reached an "Established" state.
This is a sample BGP error handling syslog message:
%ROUTING-BGP-3-MALFORM_UPDATE : Malformed UPDATE message received from neighbor 13.0.3.50
- message length 90 bytes,
error flags 0x00000840, action taken "TreatAsWithdraw".
Error details: "Error 0x00000800, Field "Attr-missing", Attribute 1 (Flags 0x00, Length 0),
Data []"
This is a sample BGP attribute filtering syslog message for the "discard attribute" action:
[4843.46]RP/0/0/CPU0:Aug 21 17:06:17.919 : bgp[1037]: %ROUTING-BGP-5-UPDATE_FILTERED :
One or more attributes were filtered from UPDATE message received from neighbor 40.0.101.1
- message length 173 bytes,
action taken "DiscardAttr".
Filtering details: "Attribute 16 (Flags 0xc0): Action "DiscardAttr"". NLRIs: [IPv4 Unicast]
88.2.0.0/17
This is a sample BGP attribute filtering syslog message for the "treat-as-withdraw" action:
[391.01]RP/0/0/CPU0:Aug 20 19:41:29.243 : bgp[1037]: %ROUTING-BGP-5-UPDATE_FILTERED :
One or more attributes were filtered from UPDATE message received from neighbor 40.0.101.1
- message length 166 bytes,
action taken "TreatAsWdr".
Filtering details: "Attribute 4 (Flags 0xc0): Action "TreatAsWdr"". NLRIs: [IPv4 Unicast]
88.2.0.0/17
BGP Link-State
BGP Link-State (LS) is an Address Family Identifier (AFI) and Sub-address Family Identifier (SAFI) defined
to carry interior gateway protocol (IGP) link-state database through BGP. BGP LS delivers network topology
information to topology servers and Application Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) servers. BGP LS allows
policy-based control to aggregation, information-hiding, and abstraction. BGP LS supports IS-IS and OSPFv2.
Note
IGPs do not use BGP LS data from remote peers. BGP does not download the received BGP LS data to
any other component on the router.
