Three Origin Path Attribute values exist:
- IGP
- EGP
- incomplete
IGP – denotes network, aggregate address, and neighbor default originate commands
EGP – denotes the old Exterior Gateway Protocol….NOT eBGP
Incomplete – denotes redistributed routes, aggregate address and default information originate
The ORIGIN Attribute provides a general descriptor as to how a NLRI was injected into a routers BGP table.
ORIGIN codes used with the aggregate-address command are:
- If the as-set option is NOT used, the aggergate routes ORIGIN code is IGP (i)
- If the as-set option IS used, and all component networks use ORIGIN code i, the aggregates ORIGIN code will match
- If the as-set option IS used, and any of the ORIGIN codes on the component network routes include an incomplete (?)……. incomplete (?) is used
