Brocade v5.1 - Configuration pieces

# Allow ports with non default VLAN as native VLAN, to not be a default VLAN member
no dual-mode-default-vlan


# Configure VLAN for Management VRF
** rd = route distinguisher (unique identifier) In MPLS networks, these are very  important, as they RD is used across the networks. If no MPLS is used, the numbers are only locally significant.

For dual homed BGP setup, access-list to avoid becoming a transport network:

ip as-path access-list 100 sec 5 permit ^$
ip as-path access-list 101 sec 10 permit .*



Prefix list for default route
ip prefix-list default-only seq 10 permit 0.0.0.0/0

Route Map to pre-pend AS# to control route
ip prefix-list aggregate_prefix seq 10 permit
ip prefix-list aggregate_prefix seq 20 permit

route-map prepend_out permit 10
 match ip address prefix-list aggregate_prefix
 set as-path prepend
 set community ASn:n ASn:n ASn:n additive

route-map aggregate_out permit 10
 match ip address prefix-list aggregate_prefix

*** ASn:n example 3356:50 , this info you will get or request from the upstream bgp peering partner
