bgpPeergrEnableAttributeDiscard

This value indicates whether or not the 'attribute
discard' error handling mechanism is used for BGP UPDATE
messages received from peers in this peer group.  This
mechanism applies when a BGP UPDATE message is received
containig a malformed AGGREGATOR, AS4_AGGREGATOR, AS4_PATH
or ATOMIC_AGGREGATE attribute.
              
When set to 'false', the error handling mechanism defined
in the original BGP specification is used, and the BGP
session is reset.  This can lead to session flapping and
network instability, even though routing is not adversely
affected by the presence of these malformed attributes.
              
When set to 'true', the alternative error handling
mechanism of 'attribute discard' is used, where the
attribute is dropped and the rest of the BGP UPDATE
message is processed as normal.
              
Use of 'attribute discard' error handling is fixed at the
start of a BGP session, so changes to this field take
effect at the start of the next session.
              
This field overrides the peer
bgpPeerEnableAttributeDiscard field.
