11-BGP Synchronization

BGP synchronization refers to the rule that a BGP speaker will not advertise routes learned from an iBGP peer unless the destination described in the route is also reachable through the local IGP. By default, BGP synchronization is disabled, so a route learned via BGP may be advertised to an eBGP neighbor even if not learned via the IGP. Enabling synchronization prevents this and ensures routes are only advertised if also present in the IGP.

BGP Synchronization:

o BGP will not advertise something that it learns from IBGP neighbor to EBGP neighbor.
o If the prefix can’t be validated in its IGP and by default, BGP synchronization is disabled.
o The BGP Synchronization mostly applies to interactions between two (2) separate AS.
o No synchronization command tells Routers that don't want them to "synchronize" iBGP.
o A Route learned via BGP will not be used nor advertised to an external neighbor BGP.
o And unless that same prefix is learned via an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) as well.
o A BGP border Router will not propagate a BGP-learned prefix to an eBGP neighbor.
o Unless that same IP prefix has been learned via an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP).
o The BGP synchronization rule refers to prefix synchronization between BGP and IGP.
o If it is enabled, a BGP speakers will not advertise routes learned from an iBGP peer.
o Unless the destination described in the route is also reachable through the local IGP.

R1 BGP Configuration
R1(config)#router bgp 12
R1(config-router)#neighbor 192.168.12.2 remote-as 12
R1(config-router)#network 1.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0

R1 BGP configuration BGP Synchronization is disable by default.

R2 BGP configuration BGP Synchronization is disable by default.

BGP Synchronization is disable by default on R1 and R2 that’s why R3 get R1 Routes 1.0.0.0

R2 also getting R1 route in Routing table and BGP table as well.

R1 enable Synchronization
R1(config)#router bgp 12
R1(config-router)#synchronization
R2 enable Synchronization
R2(config)#router bgp 12
R2(config-router)#synchronization
R3 enable Synchronization
R2(config)#router bgp 3
R2(config-router)#synchronization

R3 is not receiving anymore R1 1.0.0.0 network in Routing table nor in BGP table.

R2 is still receiving R1 route 1.0.0.0 in BGP table but not in Routing Table anymore, also R2 stop
to advertise R1 routes to R3 Router.
