Layer 3 Routing Commands 1344
User Guidelines
BGP supports up to 64 networks. The network command may also be used
specify a default route (network 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0).
If a route map is configured to set attributes on the advertised routes, match
as-path and match community terms in the route map are ignored. A match
ip-address prefix-list term is honored in this context. If the route map
includes such a match term, the network is only advertised if the prefix list
permits the network prefix. If the specified route map does not exist, the
network is not advertised.
Example
console(config-router-af)#network 10.130.14.55 255.255.0.0
Default Configuration
The default tag value is 0.
There is no default metric or route map configured.
Command Mode

User Guidelines
The configured metric value is specific to the routes distributed. Use the
default-metric command to configure a default metric for all redistributed
routes.
The RIP metric is a hop count. The metric for a redistributed route limits the
distance the route can be redistributed in the RIP network. Since the
maximum valid metric in a RIP network is 15, redistributing routes into RIP
with a metric of 12 implies that the route can only be redistributed across 3
hops in the RIP network.
In general, redistributing routes from BGP into a RIP network is not
recommended.
