11.5 BGP configuration
BGP protocol is designed to exchange subnet reachability information among autonomous systems (AS), i.e.
router groups united under a single technical control that uses interdomain routing protocol for defining packet
delivery routes to other AS. Transmitted information includes a list of AS that are accessible through this
system. Selection of the optimal routes is based on effective rules for the network.
11.5.1 Configuration algorithm
Step Description Command Keys
1 Configure BGP precedence for the main
routing table (optional).
esr(config)# ip protocols bgp
preference <VALUE>
<VALUE> – protocol
precedence, takes values in the
range of [1..255].
Default value: BGP(170).
2 Configure the BGP routing table
capacity (not required when using the
global routing table).
esr(config)# ip protocols bgp max-
routes <VALUE>
<VALUE> – amount of BGP
routes in the routing table,
takes values in the range of:
for
ESR-1000/1200/1500/1
511/1700/3100/3200 –
[1..5000000];
for
ESR-20/21/30/100/200
– [1..2500000];
for ESR-10/12V(F)/
14VF/15 – [1..1000000].
The default value for the global
routing table:
for
ESR-1000/1200/1500/1
511/1700/3100/3200 –
[5000000];
for
ESR-20/21/30/100/200
– [2500000];
for ESR-10/12V/12VF/
14VF/15 – [1000000].
Default value for VRF: 0.
esr(config)# ipv6 protocols bgp
max-routes <VALUE>
esr(config-vrf)# ip protocols bgp
max-routes <VALUE>
esr(config-vrf)# ipv6 protocols bgp
max-routes <VALUE>
3 Enable the output of BGP neighbor
state information (optional).
esr(config)# router bgp log-
neighbor-changes
esr(config)# ipv6 router bgp log-
neighbor-changes
To establish a BGP session it is necessary to allow TCP port 179 on the firewall.
