BGP
This chapter contains basic Border Gateway Protocol configuration examples.
Enable BGP Routers in the Same Autonomous System
Figure 10-66 shows the minimum configuration required to enable BGP on an interface. R1 and R2 are two routers belonging to the same AS, AS200, connecting to network 10.10.10.0/24. First, define the routing process and the AS number to which the routers belong. Then, define BGP neighbors to start exchanging routing updates.

Route-Map
Use route maps to filter incoming updates from a BGP peer. In this example, the prefix-list ABC on R1 is configured to deny entry of any routes with the IP address 1.1.1.0/M (M = 26, 27, 28). To test the filter, R2 is configured to generate network addresses 1.1.1.0/27 and 1.1.2.0/24. To verify, use the show ip bgp command on R1; it displays R1 receiving updates from only 1.1.2.0/24.

Route Reflector
The configurations in this section apply to BGP Route Reflectors (RR).
Reduce the iBGP Mesh Inside an Autonomous System
Use Route Reflectors to reduce the iBGP mesh inside an Autonomous System (AS).
Topology
In this example, R2, R5, and R4 would have to maintain a full mesh among themselves, but by making R5 the Route Reflector, R2 (Client1) has an iBGP session with the RR only, but not with R4 (Client 2). The routes learned from R2 are advertised to the other clients, and to iBGP peers outside the cluster; the iBGP routes learned from iBGP peers outside the cluster are advertised to R2. This reduces the iBGP peer connections in AS1.

Multiple Route Reflectors
The basic rule of BGP is that a BGP speaker cannot advertise a route to an iBGP neighbor if that route was learned from another iBGP neighbor. Configuring a route reflector provides a means to circumvent this rule. The entire route reflector process is transparent to the clients, and no configuration is necessary on these clients.
Whenever an iBGP-speaking router receives a route update, it forwards the route to the neighbor without changing the nexthop IP address, thus making it an unreachable route, unless verified by an iGP (for example, neighbor x.x.x.x route-reflector-client).
• A route learned from a non-RR client is advertised to RR clients but not to non-RR clients.
• A route learned from a RR client is advertised to both RR clients and non-RR clients. Even the RR client that advertised the route will receive a copy and discards it because it sees itself as the originator.
• A route learned from an EBGP neighbor is advertised to both RR clients and non-RR clients.

BGP Confederations
In BGP, nodes running iBGP protocols must be interconnected forming a full mesh. Confederation solves the iBGP full-mesh network complexity and inefficiency by splitting a large autonomous system domain into smaller autonomous system domains, called member autonomous systems. Member autonomous systems can form eBGP connections among themselves, to prevent full-mesh connections among each iBGP-running node.
The bgp confederation identifier command tells the router that it is a member of a confederation and the confederation ID. The bgp confederation peers command lists the member AS to which the router is connected.
In the following example, R1, R2, and R3 are members of the same confederation with different AS numbers.

Dynamic BGP Peering
BGP Dynamic Neighbors is a quick way of setting up BGP on device like a Hub router where user is expecting numerous BGP neighbors. Before dynamic neighbors, user had to provide a large amount of configuration to work with all these neighbors. This new feature dramatically reduces the amount and complexity of CLI configuration on the router and save CPU and memory usage.
BGP dynamic neighbor support allows BGP peering to a group of remote neighbors that are defined by a range of IP addresses. Each range can be configured as a subnet IP address. BGP dynamic neighbors are configured using a range of IP addresses and BGP peer groups.
After a subnet range is configured for a BGP peer group and a TCP session is initiated by another router for an IP address in the subnet range, a new BGP neighbor is dynamically created as a member of that group. After the initial configuration of subnet ranges and activation of the peer group, dynamic BGP neighbor creation does not require any further CLI configuration on the initial router. Other routers can establish a BGP session with the initial router, but the initial router need not establish a BGP session to other routers if the IP address of the remote peer used for the BGP session is not within the configured range.
A dynamic BGP neighbor will inherit any configuration for the peer group. In larger BGP networks, implementing BGP dynamic neighbors can reduce the amount and complexity of CLI configuration and save CPU and memory usage. Both IPv4 and IPV6 peering is supported.
IPv4 IBGP Configuration
Below figure displays the minimum configuration required to enable BGP on an interface. R1 and R2 are two routers belonging to the same AS, AS100, connecting to network 11.11.11.0/24 and 11.11.12.0/24. First, define the routing process and the AS number to which the routers belong. Then, define BGP neighbors to start exchanging routing updates.

Enable eBGP Multihop
This example shows the minimum configuration required for enabling eBGP multihop on peers speaking BGP. eBGP multihop is used for routers that are not directly connected to each other. Typically, eBGP peers are directly connected, but if there is a requirement that necessitates this scenario, this configuration can be used.
Note: The IP addresses used in the configuration should be accessible through an IGP or static routing.

TCP MSS for BGP neighbors
The manual configuration between the routing devices establishes the BGP peer that creates a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) session. This feature enables the configuration of TCP Maximum Segment Size (MSS) that defines the maximum segment size in a single TCP segment during a communication session. A TCP segment is a unit of data transmitted in a TCP connection.
TCP MSS configuration per BGP neighbor adjusts the BGP Update Packet Size according to the configured value, which prevents the BGP update packet from getting dropped in transit. The configurable MSS range is from 40-1440. Configure TCP MSS per BGP neighbor using the CLI or NetConf interface.
For more information, refer to the TCP MSS configuration for BGP neighbors section in the OcNOS Key Feature document, Release 6.4.1.
Enable Peer Groups
A BGP speaker might have the same update policies for a set of its peers. This is very useful if you have to change the update policies for all of the peers: Changing individual routers for separate policies can be very time-consuming, thus, peer groups play an important role in creating and assigning policies to a group of routers.
The peer group can be created dynamically or statically.
For dynamic peer groups all configuration can be done at group level only.
The static peer group configuration falls into two categories:
• Attributes that can be configured only at group level. Attempt to configure at member peer level will return error.
• Attributes that allow member peer level configuration. The member peer configuration has precedence.
Category A: Neighbor configuration allowed only at peer-group level
The outbound update impacting configurations of peer group will replace peer member configurations of same attributes when a peer becomes member of peer group. Outbound attribute modifications to group members are not allowed.
Following are the commands which are allowed at peer-group level.
• neighbor WORD activate - neighbor activate
• neighbor WORD as-origination-interval <1-65535> - neighbor as-origination-interval
• neighbor WORD attribute-unchanged ({as-path|next-hop|med}|) - neighbor attribute-unchanged

• neighbor WORD dont-capability-negotiate - neighbor dont-capability-negotiate
• neighbor WORD capability orf prefix-list (both|receive|send) - neighbor capability orf prefix-list
• neighbor WORD filter-list WORD out - neighbor filter-list
• neighbor WORD prefix-list WORD out - neighbor prefix-list
• neighbor WORD route-map WORD out - neighbor restart-time
• neighbor WORD advertisement-interval <1-65535> - neighbor advertisement-interval
• neighbor WORD disallow-infinite-holdtime - neighbor disallow-infinite-holdtime
• neighbor WORD local-as <1-4294967295> - neighbor local-as
Category: Neighbor configuration allowed at peer-group member level; precedence based
For the below configuration, member level configurations will take precedence over peer group configuration.
Following are the commands which are allowed at member level also.
• neighbor WORD authentication-key WORD - neighbor authentication-key
• neighbor WORD remote-as <1-4294967295> - neighbor remote-as

Route Redistribution in BGP
If there are routers that run both OSPF and BGP, certain OSPF routes might have to be sent to other eBGP peers. This can be achieved using the redistribution feature. Consider the following topology, in which R1 and R2 are eBGP peers, and R2 and R3 are OSPF peers. R2 is redistributing OSPF routes into BGP. The OSPF routes are sent to the R1 BGP routing table. This configuration assumes that all OSPF and eBGP sessions are up and running, and that only the redistribution must be configured.

Add Multiple Instances of the Same Autonomous System
BGP supports adding the same AS number multiple times to influence the route selection process. This can be done using route maps, as described below.
Under normal circumstances, any route advertised by R1 is sent to R4 via two different routes, and then R4 selects the path from R2. This decision can be influenced by adding multiple instances of AS number 200 at R2.

BGP Four-Byte Autonomous System
Extended AS numbers can be mapped to 2-byte AS numbers if the value is less than, or equal to, 65535. If the AS number is higher than 65535, it cannot be mapped to a 2-byte AS number. Therefore, if a BGP speaker is configured with a non-mappable AS number, it must enable the BGP extended ASN capability in OcNOS.
Note: Autonomous System number 23456 is a reserved IANA number for AS transition; thus, it is recommended that no system be configured with 23456 as its AS number.
The extended ASN capability is disabled by default. However, when it is enabled, it is able to interoperate with a 2-byte AS-numbered speaker, in compliance with RFC 4893.
If a 4-byte AS number is configured in the provider’s network using BGP MPLS VPN or standard IPv4/IPv6 BGP, it is recommended that the PE routers be 4-byte AS-enabled before connecting to 4-byte AS-enabled customer networks. For implications related to AS number transition issues, refer to RFC 4893.
You can also set up 4-byte AS-specific extended communities and route distinguishers (RDs) with limited capabilities. However, it is recommended that 2-byte AS-specific RDs and extended communities be used for regular deployment.
BGP encodes an ASN into four octets, so that more autonomous systems can be supported. Extended ASN capability is advertised in the Open message capabilities when the 4-octet ASN capability is enabled. When the 4-octet ASN capability is enabled, the valid ASN value range is <1-4294967295>, with the exception discussed in the first Note, above.
Note: Four-octet capability is disabled by default.
4-Octet ASN Capability Enabled on R1 and R2
In this example, 4-Octet ASN capability is enabled on BGP speakers R1 and R2.

Extended Community with a 4-Byte ASN
In the following example, CE1, PE1, PE2, and CE2 support 4-byte ASN capability.
Note: PE1 and PE2 should both either be 4-byte-ASN capable or 2-byte-ASN capable. Support for the combination of one 4-byte-ASN capable PE with one 2-byte-ASN-capable PE is currently unavailable.

BGP Weight per Peer
A different weight can be assigned per address family of a peer. For example, a system can be configured to prefer VPN4 routes from peer A and IPv4 routes from peer B.
If the neighbor weight command is given under a specific address-family mode, the peer weight is set for that specific address family. If the address family is not specifically set, the weight is updated for the default address-family.

OSPF as PE-CE Protocol for VPNs
In an MPLS VPN environment, customer networks are connected to an MPLS VPN-enabled provider backbone. As shown in Figure 10-95, Customer A areas, Areas 0 and 1, are connected to an MPLS VPN–enabled provider network. Area 0 and Area 1 have routers CE1 and CE2 running OSPF. MP-iBGP is used between PE1 and PE2 to propagate routes between Site 1 (Area 0) and Site 2 (Area 1). Traditional OSPF-BGP redistribution is performed at PE routers, PE1 and PE2. In this case, routes distributed by CE1 into the MP-iBGP cloud are sent to CE2 as external routes, even though both CE1 and CE2 belong to the same customer.
This behavior can be changed with the additional domain ID configuration. Each VRF should be configured a domain ID on the PE routers. If a PE router gets a route through the MP-iBGP cloud and has to send to any customer site, it checks the domain ID value against the list of stored domain ID values. If the incoming domain ID matches any of the stored IDs, that route is inserted into the customer site with the same type, as it was inserted into the MP-BGP cloud; otherwise, it is inserted as external route.

Multipath eiBGP
Use this command to set the number of equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) routes for both eBGP and iBGP. This feature allows to configure multipath load balancing with both external BGP (eBGP) and internal BGP (iBGP) paths in Border Gateway Protocol.
When enabled, this feature can perform load balancing on eBGP and/or iBGP paths. With multiple eBGP and iBGP paths, selection is per all paths sorted according to BGP rules and hence either of all eBGP or iBGP or both will be marked as candidates for multipath programming i.e., it is possible either all eBGP paths or all iBGP paths or both eBGP and iBGP are programmed as multipaths.
Exceptions during path selections when eiBGP is enabled:
• AS Path length check is ignored.
• Origin Check is ignored.
• Peer type check is ignored.
IGP Metric check is ignored.

6BGP AS-PATH Multipath-relax
BGP will not load balance across multiple paths by default. We can configure it to do so with the max-paths ebgp <no-of-multipaths> command. The criterion of this command is that all attributes must match (Weight, Local preference, AS Path, etc). This is acceptable if we are multi-homed to a single AS, but what if we are multi-homed to different AS.
BGP AS PATH multipath relax effectively allows for ECMP to be done across different neighboring ASN’s.

BGP FIB Install (Selective Route Download)
The BGP—Selective Route Download feature allows a network administrator to selectively download some or none of the BGP routes into the Routing Information Base (RIB). The primary application for this feature is to suppress the unnecessary downloading of certain BGP routes to the RIB or Forwarding Information Base (FIB) on a dedicated route reflector, which propagates BGP updates without carrying transit traffic. The feature thereby helps to maximize resources available and to improve routing scalability and convergence on the dedicated route reflector.
With RFC 4456, the concept of route reflection was defined; this would allow configuring designated one or more BGP routers in iBGP network as route reflectors. BGP relaxes the re-advertising restriction on these route reflectors, allowing them to accept and propagate IBGP routes to their clients.
The role of a dedicated route reflector (RR) is to propagate BGP updates without participating in the actual forwarding of transit traffic. That means the RR does not need to have all BGP routes downloaded into its RIB or FIB. It is beneficial for the RR to preserve its resources by not processing and storing those routes.
By default, BGP routes are downloaded to the RIB. To save resources on a dedicated route reflector, such downloading can be reduced or prevented by configuring a table map. A table map is so named because it controls what is put into the BGP routing table.
By reducing the route installation in the dedicated route reflectors, we can maximize availability of resources and improve routing scalability and convergence.
A new command ‘table map’ is being introduced to achieve this. A table map controls what is put into the BGP routing table. When configured it would reduce or prevent downloading routes to RIB.
Table map command references ‘route map’ rules available in BGP to control the routes going into the BGP routing table.
Table-map command can be used in two ways:
• When a simple table-map command is given (without filter option), the route map referenced in the table-map command shall be used to set certain properties (such as the traffic index) of the routes for installation into the RIB. The route is always downloaded, regardless of whether it is permitted or denied by the route map.
• When the option ‘filter’ is given in the table map command, the route map referenced is used to control whether a BGP route is to be downloaded to the IP RIB (hence the filter). A BGP route is not downloaded to the RIB if it is denied by the route map.

Route Target Constraint
BGP/MPLS IP VPNs use PE routers to Route Target (RT) extended communities and control the distribution of routes into the VRFs. Within a given iBGP mesh, PE routers hold routes marked with RouteTargets pertaining to VRFs that have local CE attachments.
BGP RT Constrained Route Distribution is a feature that can be used by service providers in Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Layer 3 VPNs to reduce the number of unnecessary routing updates that route reflectors (RRs) send to Provider Edge (PE) routers. The reduction in “routing updates” saves resources by allowing RRs, Autonomous System Boundary Routers (ASBRs), and PEs to carry fewer routes. Route targets are used to constrain routing updates.
With (MPLS)VPNs, the (iBGP) peers or Route Reflectors send all VPN4 and/or VPN6 prefixes to the PE routers. The PE routers drop the VPN4/6 prefixes for which there is no importing VPN route forwarding (VRF).
Topology
The topology below shows Route-target filtering in an L3VPN—with Route Target Constraint (RTC), the RR sends only wanted VPN4/6 prefixes to the PE; wanted” means that the PEs have the VRFs importing the specific prefixes.

Validation
Through RTfilter address-family RT values will be exchanged between RR and PE’s. Neighbors are activated under this address-family and configured clients as well in this. RR will learn routes from PE’s and send to other PE’s if it has any peer requesting for that particular routes based on their RT import values
Below outputs shows the routes sent and learned in PE’s and installed in VRF’s and display’s RT filter values exchanged between them.

BGP Best Path Selection Process
BGP assigns the first valid path as the current best path. BGP then compares the best path with the next path in the list, until BGP reaches the end of the list of valid paths. Below steps provides the rules that are used to determine the best path:
1. Prefer the path with the highest WEIGHT.
2. Prefer the path with the highest LOCAL_PREF.
3. Prefer the path that was locally originated via a network or aggregate BGP subcommand or through redistribution from an IGP.
4. Prefer the path with the shortest AS_PATH.
Note: Beware of these items:
• This step is skipped if user has configured the bgp bestpath as-path ignore command.
• If bgp bestpath compare-confed-aspath is configured then Prefer the path with the shortest AS_CONFED path.
5. Prefer the path with the lowest ORIGIN type.
Note: Beware of below listed items:
• IGP is lower than Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP), and EGP is lower than INCOMPLETE.
6. Prefer the path with the lowest multi-exit discriminator (MED).
Note: Beware of these items:
• By default, MED is compared in these cases:
• MEDs are compared only if the first AS in the AS_SEQUENCE is the same for multiple paths
• If both the paths are internal as routes
• If paths have confederation as-path then MEDs are compared only if the first AS in the BGP_AS_CONFED_SEQUENCE is the same for multiple paths
• To override all above checks, user can configure bgp always-compare-med command
7. Prefer eBGP over iBGP paths.
Note: Beware of below listed item:
• EBGP is preferred over IGBP or EBGP is preferred over CONFED.
8. Path learned from LU Address-family is preferred over IPv4 Unicast Address-family.
Note: Beware of these items:
• This is Exception Rule for IPv4 Labeled-Unicast Address-family.
• This rule applicable only for IPv4 Labeled-Unicast/Unicast routes over default VRF.
9. Prefer the path with the lowest IGP metric to the BGP next hop.
10. Determine if multiple paths require installation in the routing table for BGP Multipath and mark the ECMP candidate.
11. When both paths are external, prefer the path that was received first (the oldest one). This step minimizes route-flap, since a newer path won't displace an older one, even if it was the preferred route based on the additional decision criteria below. This has to be enabled by BGP command bestpath tie-break-on-age
Note: Beware of these items:
• Skip this step if any of these items are true:
• If bgp bestpath compare-routerid is configured in addition to bestpath tie-break-on-age, then this step will be skipped.
• If the router ID is same for multiple paths, because the routes were received from the same router, then this step will be skipped.
12. Router ID and Originator Id:
• If bgp bestpath compare-routerid is configured, then prefer the route that comes from the BGP router with the lowest Router ID.
• If bgp bestpath dont-compare-originator-id is not configured, prefer the route that comes from the BGP router with the lowest Router ID.
Note: Beware of the below listed item:
• If a path contains Route Reflector (RR) attributes, the Originator ID is substituted for the Router ID in the path selection process.
• If bgp bestpath dont-compare-originator-id is configured, prefer the route that comes from the BGP router with the lowest router ID. In this case, Originator ID is not compared even if the RR attribute is present.
13. If the originator or Router ID is the same for multiple paths, prefer the path with the minimum cluster list length.
Prefer the path that comes from the lowest neighbor address.
BGP Dampening
BGP supports route dampening for IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes. Route dampening minimizes the instability caused by route flapping. A penalty is added for every flap in a flapping route. As soon as the total penalty reaches the suppress limit, the advertisement of the route is suppressed. This penalty is decayed according to the configured half time value. Once the penalty is lower than the reuse limit, the route advertisement is unsuppressed. The dampening information is purged from the router once the penalty becomes less than half of the reuse limit.
Topology
In this example, a successful TCP connection is being established between the routers.

BGP Authentication
BGP authentication allows users to receive selected routing information, enhancing security of their network traffic. When BGP authentication is enabled on a router, the router verifies routing packets it receives by exchanging a password that is configured on both the sending and receiving routers.
In this example, both R1 and R2 have ABC as the password. Configure the same password on all routers that are to communicate using BGP in a network.

BGP Unnumbered
This chapter contains configurations for BGP unnumbered interface which provides BGP peering with minimal configuration.
Overview
BGP protocol is used to exchange IP prefixes between AS. For BGP neighbor ship to be established, IPv4 address configuration on peer is pre-requisite. In a large network, this can consume a lot of your address space, requiring a separate IP address for each peer-facing interface apart from administrator effort in configuration. When a BGP peer advertises an IPv4 prefix, it must include an IPv4 next hop address, which is usually the address of the advertising router; for this each BGP peer should have an IPv4 address. This feature is to enable BGP peering with minimal configuration, less IPv4 address-space.
For DC use-case, where hundreds of switches can be connected in CLOS topology, configuring each neighbor is both time consuming and (IPv4) address hungry.
To minimize this, BGP unnumbered can, avoid the need for an IP address on each BGP interface and by removing the need to configure the IP address and ASN of each neighbor. This feature uses link local ipv6 address of interface as per RFC-5549.

BGP Blackhole Community Attribute
A blackhole route is used to forward unwanted or undesirable traffic into a black hole. In other words, a special logical interface called a null interface, is used to create the black hole. Static routes are created for destinations that are not desirable, and the static route configuration points to the null interface. Any traffic that has a destination address that has a best match of the black hole static route automatically will be dropped.
Note: 65535:666 is reserved for Blackhole community.

BGP Additional Path
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) ADDPATH allows the advertisement of multiple paths through the same peer
session for a given prefix without the new paths implicitly replacing any previous paths. This behavior promotes path
diversity and reduces the severity of a network failure, thereby improving the control plane convergence in case of
network failures.
