BGP Routing

Injecting routes into BGP.

• Use the network command.
  • Different than the network command in iGP; it isn’t used to listen/active interfaces.
  • the BGP network command looks for the prefix in the routing table and originates that into the BGP table.
  • If no mask is defined, IOS assumes a classful network.
  • Classful route is added if:
    • the exact route is in the ip routing table
    • Any subset of routes are in the routing table (only with auto-summery)
  • create a null0 route
    •  ip route 30.30.30.0 255.255.255.0 null0

router bgp 20
 bgp log-neighbor-changes
 network 30.30.30.0 mask 255.255.255.0
 neighbor 10.10.10.1 remote-as 10
 neighbor 10.10.10.1 ebgp-multihop 255
 neighbor 10.10.10.1 update-source Loopback1

• Route redistribution.
  • redistribute iGP into BGP.
  • Internal routes are prefered over external routes.

BGP for outbound routing

• Single homed ( 1 link per ISP, 1 ISP ).
  • Default route will suffice.
  • BGP probably not necessary.
• Dual homed ( 2+ links per ISP, 1 ISP ).
  • BGP is useful.
  • Static route can also be used:
    • Load share traffic between both circuits
    • prefer one link over the other
• Single multihomed ( 1link per ISP, 2+ ISPs ).
  • same concept as dualhomed.
• Dual multihomed (2+ link per ISP, 2+ ISPs).
  • Using BGP takes full advantage
