A Manual Procedure

Configure all eBGP Arista routers to filter outbound route advertisements belonging to the IP core.

Step 1: Configure an outbound route advertise filter and configure CE Arista MLS to advertise the filter to IP Core PE (100.1.0.128). Also configure an IP prefix list named FILTER_OUT to specify the 172.16.1.0/24 subnet for outbound route advertisements filtering.

LEAF-1A(config)#ip prefix-list FILTER_OUT seq 10 permit 172.16.1.0/24
