 • Autonomous system: A collection of networks under a single
administrative domain
• Interdomain routing: Routing between the customer and the service
provider
• Internal routing: Uses IGP protocol (RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, and so on) to
exchange routing information inside the autonomous system
• External routing: Uses EGP protocol (BGP) to exchange routes
between autonomous systems
• Two BGP implementations:
- Internal BGP (IBGP): When BGP is used inside an AS
- External BGP (EBGP): When BGP is used between autonomous systems

 • An autonomous system (AS) is a collection of networks under a single
technical administration.
- 16-bit numbers (as of January 2009, 32-bit numbers are available)
- Ranging from 1 to 65535
- Private AS: 64512–65535
• The IANA allocates AS numbers.
• IGPs operate within an AS.
• BGP is used between autonomous systems.
• Access http://www.iana.org or http://bgp.he.net/ to check AS number

 • BGP neighbors are not discovered; they must be configured manually.
• Configuration must be done on both sides of the connection.
• Both routers will attempt to connect to the other with a TCP session on
port number 179.
• EBGP peers are usually reachable through a directly connected link.
• IBGP peers are typically established between loopback interfaces.
- IGP ensures reachability of loopback addresses.

© 2012 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. SPNGN2 v1.01—4-5
 • A TCP-based session has no neighbor presence verification, except
when sending BGP traffic.
• An additional mechanism is needed.
- Keepalive BGP messages provide verification of neighbor existence.
- Keepalive messages are sent every 60 seconds (by default).

BGP neighbor states:
• Idle state
Established
- Start BGP process
- Initiates TCP connection with
configured peers
OpenConfirm
- Changes to Connected call state
• Active state OpenSent
- Router tries to establish another TCP
session
• If successful, changes to OpenSent

- Peer sends update messages Idle

- On error, changes to idle state

When establishing a BGP session, BGP goes through
the following states:
1. Idle: The router is searching the routing table to see whether a route
exists to reach the neighbor.
2. Connect: The router found a route to the neighbor and has completed
the three-way TCP handshake.
3. Open sent: The open message is sent, with the parameters for the
BGP session.
4. Open confirm: The router received an agreement on the parameters for
establishing a session.
- Alternatively, the router goes into the active state if there is no response to
the open message.
5. Established: Peering is established; routing begins.

Some configured eBGP neighbors (under default or non-default vrfs)

do not have both inbound and outbound policies configured for IPv4 Unicast
address family. These neighbors will default to sending and/or
receiving no routes and are marked with '!' in the output below.
Use the 'show bgp neighbor <nbr_address>' command for details.

 Summarization is called “aggregation” in BGP.
1. Aggregation creates summary routes (called “aggregates”) from
networks already in BGP table.
2. Individual networks can be announced or suppressed.

© 2012 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. SPNGN2 v1.01—4-32
 router(config-router)#
aggregate-address address-prefix mask

• Specify aggregation range in BGP routing process.

• The aggregate will be announced if there is at least one network in
the specified range in the BGP table.
• Individual networks will still be announced in outgoing BGP updates.

© 2012 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. SPNGN2 v1.01—4-33
 An alternative method to configure aggregation:
router(config-router)#
aggregate-address address-prefix mask summary-only

• Configure aggregation of BGP routes.

• Advertise only the aggregate and not the individual networks.
Benefits:
• Smaller BGP routing tables
• More stable internetworks (less route flapping)

 • BGP peers can be authenticated by using a password.
- MD5 hashing function is used on the password.
- Hash is sent to the BGP peer in open message.
- Password is not sent to peer.
• Both routers must be configured with the same password.
• Authenticating BGP peers prevents denial of service (DoS) attacks.
• MD5 authentication is used mostly for EBGP peers.
