Usage Guidelines

Sometimes a BGP publisher will receive two overlapping routes, one of which contains addresses that are a subset of the other route. Normally the BGP publisher prefers the finer route (the former), but when publishing externally, if it chooses to publish the coarser one (the latter), it then needs to append the ATOMIC-AGGREGATE attribute to inform the peer. It is actually a warning, because publishing the coarser route means that the finer routing information is lost in the publishing process. When performing route aggregation, the ATOMIC-AGGREGATE attribute is added to the aggregated route information.

Example

Configure a action clause to inform the route recipient that the route is aggregated and is a recognized optional attribute.
