Basic BGP:How to make this aggregate-address work?

[news2010a]

Imagine my goal is to advertise a summarized prefix 10.177.206.0/23 which represents 10.177.206.0/24 and 10.177.207.0/24 networks.

Then I wrote the below. However, the ISP still sees 10.177.207.0/24 and 10.177.206.0/24 instead of only one summarized entry 10.177.206.0/23 as I

wish.

Given that I do not have a more specific routing in the bgp table for networks 10.177.206.0 and 10.177.207.0, that means the aggregate-address is not working for me, if I understand this correctly.

Question:
Is there any way to make this aggregate command work in my case or do I need to rely on individual network statements advertising 10.177.206.0/24 and 10.177.207.0/24?

You have the wrong mask ie.

aggregate-address 10.177.206.0 255.255.255.254 summary-only

should be

aggregate-address 10.177.206.0 255.255.254.0 summary-only

Also do you have either 10.177.206.0/24 or 10.177.207.0/24 in your routing table without the network statements ?

If not you only need to have one network statement under BGP for one of the networks.

10.177.206.0/24 seems to be a connected route on an interface.

10.177.207.0/24 is learned via OSPF.

Does the OP still need to have a network statement, or can he just aggregate both into a summary, since they're already in the RIB?
