Advertised Networks

As previously described, you can advertise routes into BGP by redistributing static, connected, RIP, or OSPF routes.

However, you can explicitly specify routes to be advertised by BGP4 by using the network command in BGP global configuration mode.

With the exception of static network routes, the routing table must have this route already installed before BGP4 can advertise this route. You can also specify a route to be local. If the same route is received by means of eBGP, the local IGP route will be preferred. You can also specify a weight that the device adds to routes that are received from the specified BGP neighbor. BGP4 prefers larger weights over smaller weights.

Refer to the Brocade FastIron Command Reference for configuration examples and more information.
