NX-OS Automatic Route Tagging on Redistribution into IGP

[j.a.m.e.s]

Dear All,

I know that in IOS, when BGP is redistributed into an IGP (EIGRP, OSPF etc), the "prior AS" is set as a tag automatically. This is because when an eBGP route is learned the BGP process sets a tag on the BGP route, and that tag is just passed onto the IGP. This feature is described here: https://packetlife.net/blog/2009/jan/19/bgp-route-auto-tagging/

Does anyone know if NX-OS behaves the same way?

router eigrp X
 [...]
 redistribute bgp 65000 route-map RM-BGP-EIGRP
 [...]
exit

route-map RM-BGP-EIGRP permit 100
 description Permit All Remaining, but will last-as tag be auto-set?
exit

Many thanks

James.
