Actually Arun, I still think my initial post was correct...the command reference for this feature indicates that the route-map can only be used for matching on CLNS routes, and not IP routes.

Here's a quote from it:

"The route map can specify one or more CLNS routes. If at least one of the match address route-map clauses matches a route in the L2 CLNS routing table, and if all other requirements for setting the attached-bit are met, the L1L2 router will continue to set the attached-bit in its L1 LSP. If the requirements are not met or no match address route-map clauses match a route in the L2 CLNS routing table, the attached-bit will not be set."

Regards,

Paresh.

Hi Andrew ,

Paresh is almost correct .We do not have full flexibility for setting the
ATT bit .

But times are changing and features gets added up !!! Check this out !!!

This is one of the feature that are used to optimize L1-Routing . After
introduction of this feature , network admins can influence ATT bit setting
using "ser-attached-bit Route-map " command .

FYI : You should be using 12.2(4)T or Later ..

Pls. refer to the CCO Link
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6599/products_white_paper09186a00804fa
7a0.shtml

or In case you have access Cisco Bug tracking tool . You can also check out
Bug ID : CSCdp64489 .

Pls. Note : Even after this feature we can arbitarly set att bit in IOS .
Your L1/L2 router still need to have visibility to atleast one area other
than its own !!!

Thanks and Regards
Arun

ISIS for routing IP; while the ATT bit is also used by IP, you can only set
it via this command when routing CLNS via ISIS.

to use this is: configure your interior routers so that they do not
advertise themselves as available for transit routing until BGP has
converged on these routers. Or: configure your interior routers so that
they do advertise themselves as available for transit routing until 2
minutes after the IGP routing process has started.
