I-Bgp Using Full Mesh Neighborship & BGP Split Horizon Rule: Assign The Basic IP Addressing As Per The Routers!

The document describes configuring I-BGP using full mesh neighborship and addressing the BGP split horizon rule. It assigns IP addresses to interfaces on routers R-1 through R-4 and configures I-BGP with a full mesh of neighbors to allow all routes to be learned. Without the full mesh, some routes were not being shared due to the split horizon rule, which prevents an update from being sent back to the neighbor it was received from. Configuring a full mesh neighborship addressed this issue.

BGP SPLIT HORIZON RULE

Assign the basic IP Addressing as per the routers!

Router>enable

R-3(config)#interface gig0/0
R-3(config-if)#ip add 2.2.2.2 255.0.0.0

R-3(config-if)#ip add 30.1.1.1 255.0.0.0

R-3(config-if)#exit

& Now finally the last which IP implementations of R-4

Router>enable
Router#configure terminal
Router(config)#hostname R-4

R-4(config)#interface gig0/0
R-4(config-if)#ip add 4.4.4.1 255.0.0.0
R-4(config-if)#no shut
R-4(config-if)#exit
R-4(config)#int gig0/1
R-4(config-if)#ip add 3.3.3.2 255.0.0.0
R-4(config-if)#no shut
R-4(config-if)#exit

R-4(config)#int gig0/2
R-4(config-if)#ip add 40.1.1.1 255.0.0.0
R-4(config-if)#no shut
R-4(config-if)#exit

Now we’ll implement I-BGP on all the routers.

Verifications of routing table –

R-1

R-2

R-3
R-4

So, as per the implementations of i-BGP we can see that there’s a trouble in our
verifications which is that –

R-1 is not having the routing entry for the network 30.0.0.0 which is on R-3.
R-3 is not having the routing entry for the network 10.0.0.0 which is on R-1.
R-2 is not having the routing entry for the network 40.0.0.0 which is on R-4.
R-4 is not having the routing entry for the network 20.0.0.0 which is on R-2.

Now as per this, the routes are shared via the directly connected neighbors.

But something we discussed “BGP Split Horizon Rule” is here –

By-default as per i-BGP the default rule says that an update sent by one i-BGP
neighbor should not be sent back to another i-BGP neighbor.

To overcome this cause, we’ll use full-mesh neighborship.

R-1(config)#router bgp 500


R-1(config-router)#neighbor 2.2.2.2 remote-as 500

R-3(config)#router bgp 500


R-3(config-router)#neighbor 1.1.1.1 remote-as 500
R-3(config-router)#exit
*Feb 14 03:57:28.799: %BGP-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor 1.1.1.1 Up
& here’s the routing table verification after defining full-mesh neighborship
between R-1 & R-3
