Suppress-Map:

A Suppress-Map is a route map that's used for doing partial suppression of component routes
of an aggregate. The default, when aggregating with BGP, is to advertise both the aggregate
and all the component routes. If you want to advertise just the aggregate, you use the
summary-only keyword at the end of the aggregate. But if you want to suppress some, but not
all, of the component routes, you use a Suppress-Map. With the summary-only keyword we
would suppress all, but with a suppress-map we can suppress a few. Suppress Map is used to
allow specific networks along with summary network in BGP. It is possible to suppress prefixes
selectively, using a route-map associated via the parameter suppress-map. The prefixes
permitted by this route-map are suppressed.
The syntax is:
aggregate-address <aggregate address> <subnet mask> suppress-map <route-map-name>
