Conditional BGP Advertisement


Introduction:
This we can use to advertise the prefixes automatically when one peer goes down rather manually advertise the prefixes.
Design Notes:
In this example I’m trying to advertise 10.0.0.0/16 through AS 65001 but if the peer (203.143.0.5) goes down automatically advertise the 10.0.0.0/16 through AS 65002(203.143.0.1).
To make the configuration works we need to match against a prefix that advertise from that(203.143.0.5) peer. But to make sure that learned through that peer we can use AS-Path match or community based match. Here in this example I’m matching against 172.16.0.0/24 advertise through 65001 and match against the as path ^ 65001.
Configuration Notes:
This is the only configuration different from normal one:
neighbor 203.143.0.1 advertise-map otherblock non-exist-map[exist-map] inblock
Better notes on this:

Normal Status:

R2#show ip bgp neighbors 203.143.0.1 | inc Cond
Condition-map inblock, Advertise-map otherblock, status: Withdraw
R0#show ip route
Gateway of last resort is not set
B 172.16.0.0/16 [20/0] via 203.143.0.2, 00:08:41
203.143.0.0/30 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 203.143.0.0 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
B 192.168.0.0/16 [20/0] via 203.143.0.2, 00:08:11


R2#show ip bgp neighbors 203.143.0.1 advertised-routes
