BGP Info

The document outlines BGP attributes and their configurations, focusing on path selection and preference criteria such as weight, local preference, AS path, and MED. It explains how to configure these attributes on routers for both inbound and outbound routes, highlighting the importance of local preference and AS path in traffic management. Additionally, it covers the preference hierarchy among various attributes and provides examples of configuration commands for Cisco routers.

attributes:
==========

1.weight (default=0) prefered=highest

configure this on a router that is receiving the routes (IN) (customer side)
cisco proprietary
this is given on specific device
is given on PA it self..
#neighbor X.X.X.X weight 762

2.local preference(default=100)prefered=highest

• configure this on a router that is receiving the routes (IN) (customer side)
• only in is supported, routes learning in to our AS
• LP is not exchanged in EBGP. hence we use bgp community strings

R1#bgp default local-preference 200


but if we give above command it applies for all routes
Note that the Local Preference will only affect the traffic leaving the AS.
you can use route maps to apply local preference for specific routes.

access-l permit 10 10.10.10.1


access-l permit 20 50.0.0.1
R1#route-map FILTER_10
match ip add 1
set local-preference <high>

R1#router bgp <>


neighbour <neighbor ip> route-map FILTER_10 in
only in is supported, routes learning in to our AS

3.Locally Originated preferred=local routes


- Prefer the path that was locally originated via a network

4.AS PATH preferred=lowest


R1---R2_10----R3_30

• configure this on a router that is advertising its routes....(OUT) (ISP SIDE or


customer side)
• can be exchanged b/w 2 AS
• only sends to neighbor AS. again neighbor AS will also send to other AS..
# neighbor <ISP1> route-map RMAP out
route-map RMAP permit 10
match ip address 1
set as-path prepend 11 11 11 <---should be our own AS number

ISP side:-
we want to use ISP1 as backup so increased AS pasth prepend to 1 1 1 1 1. so far good..
BUT ISP1 is also clever. they always follow Customer link>>>Peer LINKS>>>UPSTREAM
OTHER ISP's
because they want to charge for Link.
so even though we use AS path. ISP1 will use Local preference as follows
Customer Link=LP=100
Peer Link=LP=80
Upstream ISP=LP=50

5.ORIGIN preferred=preferred=lowest origin IGP<EGP<Icomplete


-IGP advertised through BGP network command
-EGP routes came through redistribution

6.MED(Multi exit discriminator)==(Lowest preferred)default=0


• configure this on a router that is advertising its routes....(OUT) (ISP SIDE or
customer side)
• can be exchanged b/w 2 AS
• only sends to neighbor AS1. again neighbor AS1 will not send to other AS2. will
send within AS1

.
7)EBGP are preffered than IBGP.

8)Lowest IGP metric:-


BGP internal routing, i.e;IGP. used in MPLS or internal network.

9)Maximum Paths:-
checkes if loadbalance is there for multiple BGP paths.
IF not it continue to next one.

10)Oldest one(External):-first come first serve

11)router-ID==prefered=lowest
- If router id is also same then it uses below one

12)cluster list length ==prefered=lowest


-used in route reflector environmnt

13)neighbor address==prefered=lowest
