This configuration is only required to the regional core routers i. Lab exercise on basic router and ospf dynamic routing. Background the international travel agency maintains a fullmesh ibgp. If you have only a single route reflector and that route reflector fails, your routers will be separated from your network, which means that you inadvertently created a single point of failure for that part of your network.

Bgp route reflectors can help to reduce the workload of the network control plane in the following ways. And i found out that if i dont connect r4 and r5 to each other as redundant link then those two router do not need the bgp confederation peer and bgp confederation. The bgp router can act as a routereflector and an rr client. In fact, in a large network, the fullmesh requirement for ibgp can be a provisioning nightmare. The cluster statement indicates that iggy is a route reflector for this bgp group, and the neighbor statements define the two rr clients, which are neighbors 1. How to configure dual bgp route reflectors for backup. The table below compares how route reflectors and confederations handle this scaling problem. Route reflector bypass the split horizon rule, route learned from one bgp speaker will be advertised to another bgp speaker, the bgp speakers however will peer to route reflector only.
To prevent routing loops, route reflectors us two bgp path attributes. Note, however, that a route reflector is a bgp route in which this rule has been relaxed. However, configure router 1 and router 12 as route reflector servers in their respective ass. In large networks, it might be necessary to configure bgp route reflectors to reduce the control plane workload for the routers participating in the vpls network. Route reflection is concerned with distributing routes within an as, not the actual routing. Bgp was not built to route within an autonomous system as, but rather to route between ass. Module 3 ibgp configuration for training lab network apnic.
Bgp maintains a separate routing table based on shortest as path and. Bgp on huaweiroute reflectors madnetworks technical blog. This is useful in complex topologies where rr can simplify the network by forming rr clusters. Objectives configure ibgp routers to use a route reflector and a simple route filter.
Bgp lab 1 configuring bgp with default routing objective. Bgp synchronization rule is not installing ibgp routes into the routing table. Like most routing protocols, bgp also has methods of preventing routing loops within networks. The objective of these examples are to show some of the basic bgp configuration commands and their affect 2 on a network, including wrong configurations or.
In terms of configuration, there is not much to it. In part 1, we didnt configure vpnv4 routereflector because we are only having two pe routers. Route reflectors are ciscos recommended method of alleviating the ibgp fullmesh. Configuring an mpbgp route reflector products cisco. Configured bgp as required and advertised the interconnected networks into all three route reflectors into bgp. Bgp version 4 bgpv4 is the current standard deployment.
This video explains you how to solve the bgp route reflectors and clusters lab found on gns3vault. This lab cannot be completed if only bgp is used in this lab. These lab examples are not meant to demonstrate proper or realistic bgp configurations, nor does it include all the necessary commands to ensure proper routing operation. Border gateway protocol bgp border gateway protocol bgp teacher. Lab 6 routereflector configure bgp in each routers in each as. You can also configure r4 as a client since it does not have any other ibgp peers. Bgp route reflectors and confederations jason harrys blog. To migrate the network to bgp route reflectors as an alternative to using a fullymeshed ibgp. Feature bgp route reflectors bgp confederations hierarchical roles per the design of the protocol, route reflector and route reflector. In this lab, we will be looking at more advanced capabilities of bgp. Information about bgp flowspec routereflector support bgp flowspec nlri t ype qos matching field ipv6 qos matching field ipv4 input value type10 ipv6packetlength ipv4packetlength multivaluerange. Now the issue we can run into the issue where a route reflector will reflect a route to another route reflector deserving the same set of client, and here we could run into a loop. Junos bgp route reflection configuration and operation. Bgp confederations and route reflectors a design overview.
Before we move on to the third task, we need to prepare the network for three routers now to share routes. Bgps answer to the ibgp pairing configuration nightmare that is the full mesh is called route reflection. Vpnv4 route reflector contains all the routes collected from different vrfs. We dont really need to use them in a network this small, but hey.
The routereflectorclient keyword on an ibgp session makes the router on the other end of that ibgp session a route reflector client. With route reflector, r7 and r8 only require to peer with r6, where r6 is the route reflector. Configure local preference using route maps discovery lab 22. The video lays a foundation of building a scalable bgp topology on cisco router using routereflectors. Vpnv4 routereflector works the same way as a normal bgp rr. Basic route reflection is fairly straightforward, but comes with a basic drawback. We can configure r1 as a route reflector with r2 and r3 as clients.

We will also touch on expanding bgp topology even further with route reflector hierarchy. To migrate the network to bgp route reflectors as an alternative to using a fully meshed ibgp. Ensure that all bgp updates between peers are sourced from each routers loopback interface. A more scalable solution is to use a bgp route reflector. A route reflector rr is a network routing component for bgp rfc 4456. Routing advertisements sent to the route reflector are then reflected out to all of the other bgp speakers. The client itself doesnt know that its a route reflector client and doesnt change its behavior. The ibgp split horizon rule basically states that an ibgp router will.
