A routing egp group entity defines a set of systems in the same autonomous system with which this system may exchange EGP messages. This entity is supported only on level 2 routers that support dual routing and, in particular, the EGP routing protocol.
1 – character
AUTONOMOUS SYSTEM NUMBER Support: L2,IP Default: 0 Value: 0-65535 The autonomous system number common to members of this group. You can modify this characteristic only when the entity is disabled. This attribute is supported only if the node is a level 2 router, and if the system supports dual routing both DECnet and IP routing. EXTERNAL ROUTES Support: L2,IP Default: Receive Value: Set of send,recieve If the set includes receive, external gateway routes are accepted from neighbors in the group; if the set does not include receive, external gateway routes are discarded. If the set includes send, external gateway routes will be sent to neighbors in this group; if the set does not include send, external gateway routes are not sent. You can modify this characteristic only when the entity is disabled. MAXIMUM ACTIVE NEIGHBORS Support: L2,IP Default: 1 Value: 0-255 The maximum number of neighbor systems in the group that this system will attempt to acquire and maintain in the Up state at any given time. You can modify this characteristic only when the entity is disabled. RECEIVE METRIC CLASS Support: L2,IP Default: External Value: Internal or External The class to be associated with routes received from EGP neighbors in this group unless overridden by a routing receive route entity. You can modify this characteristic only when the entity is disabled. SEND LOCAL METRIC Support: L2,IP Default: 1 Value: 0-255 The metric value to be used when announcing routes derived from local information unless overridden by a routing send route entity. You can modify this characteristic only when the entity is disabled. SEND METRIC CLASSES Support: L2,IP Default: Internal Value: Set of external, internal Routes received through routing protocols other than EGP with metric classes in this set are candidates for announcement in EGP messages sent to neighbors in this group, subject to route propagation policy. Routes with metric classes not specified in this set will not be announced. You can modify this characteristic only when the entity is disabled. SEND REPLACEMENT METRIC Support: L2,IP Default: 1 Value: 0-255 Specifies the metric value to be used when announcing routes derived from non-EGP routing protocols unless overridden by a routing send route entity. You can modify this characteristic only when the entity is disabled.
