Cisco BGP

Border Gateway Protocol (RFC 4271) är ett path vector routing protokoll. Det kommunicerar på TCP port 179 så routing måste vara på plats, man kan nästan se det som ett L4-protokoll. BGP kan få många vägar till samma destination. Bästa vägen väljs utifrån en algoritm. http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/border-gateway-protocol-bgp/13753-25.html

Konfiguration

För att byta från NLRI-format till AFI-format i konfigurationen

bgp upgrade-cli 

Neighbors

router bgp [ASN]
no auto-summary
router-id [loopback-adress]

iBGP eller eBGP

neighbor 1.1.1.1 remote-as 65001
neighbor 1.1.1.1 description Other side

Addess family

address-family ipv4
 network 10.0.0.0
 redistribute isis level-2
 neighbor 1.1.1.1 activate
 neighbor 1.1.1.1 send-community both
exit-address-family

Loopback. When configuring iBGP always use loopbacks (advertised by your IGP) for peering.

neighbor [ip-address] update-source [interface]

eBGP om det ej är directly connected, t.ex. loopback

neighbor [ip-address] ebgp-multihop 2

Nätverk som ska annonseras

network [ip-address] mask [subnet-mask]

Soft

neighbor 1.1.1.1 soft-reconfiguration inbound

Send default route

default-information originate

Synchronization is enabled by default in Cisco IOS Software Release prior to 12.2(8)T.

no synchronization

Timers

tim bg 10 30 20

Peer Group

För att förenkla konfen kan man gruppera flera grannar i så kallade peer groups.

neighbor GROUP01 peer-group
neighbor 1.1.1.1 peer-group GROUP01

Next Hop

Ändra så att annonserade uppdateringar har den egna IP-adressen istället för det som står i uppdateringen från den granne man har lärt sig nätverket av.

neighbor [ip-address] next-hop-self

Summarization

aggregate-address, null route automatically installed

aggregate-address 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 [summary-only]

summary-only, suppress detailed routes

Route Reflector

Routes lärda av iBGP skickas ej vidare till iBGP-grannar per default. En route reflector bryter denna regel.
Route Reflector:

address-family ipv4
neighbor [ip-address] route-reflector-client

Communities

Best practice

ip bgp community new-format

Skicka standard och extended

neighbor [ip-address] send-community both

Convergence

Don't wait for the hold-down timer (180 sec) to expire.

ip bgp fast-external-fallover  #Per interface

Dampening

BMP

The BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP) feature supports the following functionality to monitor Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) neighbors

Show
