Actually, even with the config I suggested, other prefixes will also be exported but without any RT, which will cause them not to be imported anywhere else.

Hope this helps,

Peter,

Your configuration adds an extra RT for that one specific prefix that you specify under the route-map but doesn't prevent all of the other prefixes to be tagged and exported with the RT value configured under "ip vrf ES"

Cheers,

Hi,

if your intention is to only export a specific network from a VRF, why not to use filters during redistribution and not to insert other networks into MP-BGP?

Regards, Martin

Martin-

The intent is this: the VRF hosts a management site and our customer wants to export only specific routes from the management hub site to the spokes....enough for them to get to the mgmt site. We had cupla options - using ACLs vs prefix-list and chose the prefix list per customer request due to perf reasons (see my last post).

I;m curious to know how you'd control this via redistribution. So under my PE-CE redistribution to my mgmt site, I'd then have to throw away 'other routes' ? I'd end up using route-map there too right ? it'd just be a different place (instead of "export map" under my "ip vrf" then it'd be under say my "router bgp" ??)

Thanks !

To add to that, I got the impression from our customer that prefix-lists have better performance than access-lists ("uses lesser CPU cycles" is the actual quote though I wonder why....maybe a separate topic)
