Aggregate-Address As-Set

Scenario to verify BGP address-family ipv6-unicast aggregate-address as-set configuration. The as-set option generates AS_SET path information for the aggregate route, preserving the AS path information from the contributing routes. This is useful for loop prevention when aggregating routes from multiple AS sources.

Test BGP IPv6 Aggregate Address As-Set eBGP

Description

Test BGP address-family ipv6-unicast aggregate-address as-set with eBGP. DUT0 (AS 10) receives route 2001:db8:100::/64 from DUT1 (AS 20) and has local route 2001:db8:200::/64. It aggregates both into 2001:db8::/32 with as-set and announces to DUT2 (AS 30). With as-set, DUT2 sees AS_SET {20} in the path, preserving the origin AS information for loop prevention.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set interfaces dummy dum0 address '2001:db8:200::1/64'
set interfaces ethernet eth0 address '2001:db8:1::100/64'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '2001:db8:2::100/64'
set protocols bgp 10 address-family ipv6-unicast aggregate-address '2001:db8::/32' as-set
set protocols bgp 10 address-family ipv6-unicast redistribute connected
set protocols bgp 10 neighbor DUT1 address-family ipv6-unicast activate
set protocols bgp 10 neighbor DUT1 address-family ipv6-unicast route-map import PERMIT
set protocols bgp 10 neighbor DUT1 remote-address '2001:db8:1::1'
set protocols bgp 10 neighbor DUT1 remote-as 20
set protocols bgp 10 neighbor DUT2 address-family ipv6-unicast activate
set protocols bgp 10 neighbor DUT2 address-family ipv6-unicast route-map export PERMIT
set protocols bgp 10 neighbor DUT2 remote-address '2001:db8:2::2'
set protocols bgp 10 neighbor DUT2 remote-as 30
set protocols bgp 10 parameters router-id 1.1.1.100
set protocols route-map PERMIT rule 1 action permit
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT1 :

set interfaces dummy dum0 address '2001:db8:100::1/64'
set interfaces ethernet eth0 address '2001:db8:1::1/64'
set protocols bgp 20 address-family ipv6-unicast redistribute connected
set protocols bgp 20 neighbor DUT0 address-family ipv6-unicast activate
set protocols bgp 20 neighbor DUT0 address-family ipv6-unicast route-map export PERMIT
set protocols bgp 20 neighbor DUT0 remote-address '2001:db8:1::100'
set protocols bgp 20 neighbor DUT0 remote-as 10
set protocols bgp 20 parameters router-id 1.1.1.1
set protocols route-map PERMIT rule 1 action permit
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 3: Set the following configuration in DUT2 :

set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '2001:db8:2::2/64'
set protocols bgp 30 neighbor DUT0 address-family ipv6-unicast activate
set protocols bgp 30 neighbor DUT0 address-family ipv6-unicast route-map import PERMIT
set protocols bgp 30 neighbor DUT0 remote-address '2001:db8:2::100'
set protocols bgp 30 neighbor DUT0 remote-as 10
set protocols bgp 30 parameters router-id 1.1.1.2
set protocols route-map PERMIT rule 1 action permit
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Attention

Verify BGP sessions are established

Step 4: Run command protocols bgp show ipv6 summary at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

2001:db8:1::1.*Established[\s\S]+2001:db8:2::2.*Established
Show output
