Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 10.3.

Description

Configure BGP to ignore path attributes from BGP neighbor updates during inbound processing. You specify one or more codes for the path attributes to be ignored.

Note: You can also configure BGP attributes to be dropped. If you configure path attributes to be both dropped and ignored, they will always be dropped because the drop-path-attributes statement takes precedence over the ignore-path-attributes statement.

Default

By default, ignore-path-attributes is not enabled.

Options

path-attribute-codes—Configure one or more path attribute codes.

Range: 11 through 13, 16 through 255

Default: None

Usage Guidelines

Path attribute 128 (attribute set) will be processed as usual (and not ignored) if you have one or more VRF instances configured with an independent domain.
You cannot configure BGP to ignore these attributes: 7 (aggregator), 8 (communities), 9 (originator), and 10 (cluster list).
You cannot configure BGP to ignore these network-layer reachability information (NLRI) attributes: 14 (MP reach) and 15 (MP unreach).
