aggregate-address X:X::X:X/M
Use this command to configure BGP aggregate entries.
Aggregates are used to minimize the size of routing tables. Aggregation combines the characteristics of several different routes and advertises a single route. This command creates an aggregate entry in the BGP routing table if any more-specific BGP routes are available in the specified range. Using the summary-only parameter advertises the prefix only, suppressing more-specific routes to neighbors.
The as-set parameter creates an aggregate entry advertising the path for this route, consisting of all elements contained in all paths being summarized. Use the as-set parameter to reduce the size of path information by listing the AS number only once, even if it was included in multiple paths that were aggregated. The as-set parameter is useful when aggregation of information results in an incomplete path information.
Use the no parameter with this command to disable this function.

network X:X::X:X
Use this command to specify the networks to be advertised by the BGP routing process. A unicast network address without a mask is accepted if it falls into the natural boundary of its class. A class-boundary mask is derived if the address matches its natural class-boundary.
Use the backdoor parameter to specify a backdoor route to a BGP border router that will provide better information about the network. For data to be advertised by BGP, its routing table must include a route to the specified network. This command specifies the networks to be advertised. The network command works if the network being advertised is known to the router.
The backdoor parameter enables a route to be the preferred route even if it has a greater distance. A network that is specified as a backdoor network is dynamically assigned an administrative distance of 200 ensuring that IGP learned routes are preferred. If a backdoor network is not sourced by the local router, the network is learned from the external routers. If the route is learned from eBGP for a backdoor network, the distance is set to 20 or 200.
Use the no parameter with this command to remove an entry.

WORD
Name of the route map
Default
No default value is specified

Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.
Examples
(config)#router bgp 10
(config-router)#network 172.26.0.0/16
If Router1 receives updates from 172.10.0.0 via two routing protocols RIP (distance 120) and eBGP (distance 20), router1 chooses the shorter route. Use the backdoor parameter to allow Router1 to learn about 172.10.0.0 via RIP.
