PurposeCommand or Action
Specifies a routing policy for an inbound route. The
policy can be used to filter routes or modify route
attributes.
route-policy route-policy-name in
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)#
route-policy pe-pe-vpn-in in
Step 13
Specifies a routing policy for an outbound route. The
policy can be used to filter routes or modify route
attributes.
route-policy route-policy-name out
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)#
route-policy pe-pe-vpn-out out

Configuring Route Reflector to Hold Routes That Have a Defined Set of RT Communities
A provider edge (PE) needs to hold the routes that match the import route targets (RTs) of the VPNs configured
on it. The PE router can discard all other VPNv4 routes. But, a route reflector (RR) must retain all VPNv4
routes, because it might peer with PE routers and different PEs might require different RT-tagged VPNv4
(making RRs non-scalable). You can configure an RR to only hold routes that have a defined set of RT
communities. Also, a number of the RRs can be configured to service a different set of VPNs (thereby achieving
some scalability). A PE is then made to peer with all RRs that service the VRFs configured on the PE. When
a new VRF is configured with an RT for which the PE does not already hold routes, the PE issues route
refreshes to the RRs and retrieves the relevant VPN routes.
Note that this process can be more efficient if the PE-RR session supports extended community outbound
route filter (ORF).
Note
Perform this task to configure a reflector to retain routes tagged with specific RTs.
