Configuring Route Aggregation in Gaia Portal

Important - In a ClusterClosed Two or more Security Gateways that work together in a redundant configuration - High Availability, or Load Sharing., you must configure all the Cluster Members in the same way.

  1. From the left navigation tree, click Advanced Routing > Route Aggregation.

  2. In the Route Aggregation section, click Add and select IPv4.

  3. In the IPv4 address field, enter the IPv4 address of the new contributing route.

    This activates the aggregate route, if contributed by the protocol.

    The IPv4 address and subnet mask correspond to a single routing table entry.

    Range: Dotted-quad ([0-255].[0-255].[0-255].[0-255])

    Default: No default

  4. In the Subnet mask field, , enter the IPv4 subnet mask of the new contributing route.

    This activates the aggregate route, if contributed by the protocol.

    The IPv4 address and subnet mask correspond to a single routing table entry.

    Range: Dotted-quad ([0-255].[0-255].[0-255].[0-255])

    Default: No default

  5. In the Rank field, enter the rank of the new contributing route.

    The routing system uses rank when there are routes from different protocols to the same destination.

    For each route, the route from the protocol with the lowest rank is used.

    See Protocol Rank.

    Range: 0-255

    Default: 130

  6. In the Weight field, enter the weight of the new contributing route.

    This weight is a second tie breaker after the rank.

    It selects routes going to the same destination.

    The route with the highest weight is an active route and is installed in the kernel forwarding table and redistributed to other routing protocols.

    Range: 0-65535

    Default: 0

  7. The option AS Path Truncate controls the Autonomous System (AS) path truncation mode.

    When this option is enabled, the AS path is truncated to the longest common AS path.

    When this option is disabled, the AS path consists of sets and sequences of all contributing AS paths.

    Range: Selected, or Cleared

    Default: Cleared

  8. In the Contributing Routes section, click Add.

  9. In the Protocol field, select the contributing protocols, whose routes should be included in the aggregate route.

    Protocol

    Included Routes

    All

    From all protocols.

    Direct

    Only routes associated with local interfaces.

    Static

    Only static routes.

    Aggregate

    Only other (more specific) aggregate routes.

    OSPF2

    Only IPv4 OSPFv2 routes.

    OSPF2ASE

    Only IPv4 OSPFv2 External routes.

    RIP

    Only IPv4 RIP routes.

    BGP

    Only IPv4 BGP routes.

  10. The option Contribute All IPv4 Routes controls the whether to let any routes contributed by the protocol to activate the aggregate route.

    Range: Selected, or Cleared

    Default: Cleared

  11. In the IPv4 address field, enter the IPv4 address of the route, which the specified protocol contributes to the aggregate route.

    An aggregate route does not activate, until one or more contributing routes exist.

    Range: Dotted-quad ([0-255].[0-255].[0-255].[0-255])

    Default: No default

  12. In the Subnet mask field, , enter the IPv4 subnet mask of the route, which the specified protocol contributes to the aggregate route.

    An aggregate route does not activate, until one or more contributing routes exist.

    Range: Dotted-quad ([0-255].[0-255].[0-255].[0-255])

    Default: No default

  13. The option Match Type controls how to match routes.

    The routes are filtered for the Address and Subnet mask.

    These are the ways to compare other routes:

    Protocol

    Description

    None

    Matches any route that equals the specified route, or is more specific than the specified route.

    Refines

    Matches a route, only if it is more specific than the specified route.

    Exact

    Matches a route, only if it equals the From Address and Subnet mask of the specified route.

    Default: None

  14. Click OK.

  15. Click Save.

  1. From the left navigation tree, click Advanced Routing > Route Aggregation.

  2. In the Route Aggregation section, click Add and select IPv6.

  3. In the IPv6 address / Mask length field, enter the IPv6 address and mask length of the new contributing route.

    This activates the aggregate route, if contributed by the protocol.

    The IPv6 address and mask length correspond to a single routing table entry.

    Default: No default

  4. In the Rank field, enter the rank of the new contributing route.

    The routing system uses rank when there are routes from different protocols to the same destination.

    For each route, the route from the protocol with the lowest rank is used.

  6. The option AS Path Truncate controls the Autonomous System (AS) path truncation mode.

    When this option is enabled, the AS path is truncated to the longest common AS path.

    When this option is disabled, the AS path consists of sets and sequences of all contributing AS paths.

    Range: Selected, or Cleared
