not enabled, the status field displays only the default letter "E", as displayed for BGP4 route 10.12.0.0/24. The letter "B" or "b" is missing
from the Status field.
NOTE
The description of the status "b: NOT-INSTALLED-BEST" has changed. The status description for "b: NOT-INSTALLED-
BEST" is now: The routes received from the neighbor are the best BGP4 routes to their destinations, but were nonetheless not
installed in the IP route table due to the
rib-route-limit
option (or RTM route table size limit), and the
always-propagate
option
to allow the propagating of those best BGP routes.
NOTE
Traffic loss on a BGP4 route occurs when a device is advertising preferred BGP4 routes not installed in the RTM as part of the
forwarding path.
Because the BGP4 route 10.12.0.0/24 is not considered as the best BGP4 route, the route is not advertised to other BGP4 neighbors.

After enabling the
always-propagate
command, the BGP4 route is now considered the best BGP4 route, even though the route is not
installed in the RTM. Because the
rib-route-limit
command was configured to allow for only 300,000 routes in the RTM some preferred
BGP4 routes are not installed in the RTM, and are not advertised to other BGP4 neighbors. By enabling the
always-propagate
command, the device is now able to advertise those preferred BGP4 routes to other BGP4 neighbors. In the following example, the
Status field displays "bE" indicating that the route is now considered the best BGP4 route for forwarding and will be advertised to other
BGP4 neighbors.

show ip bgp route
command, refer to
Displaying information for a specific

Specifying a maximum AS path length
You can use the
maxas-limit in
command to configure a device running BGP4 to discard routes that exceed a specified AS path limit.
This limit can be configured globally, for peer groups, and for BGP neighbors.
