BGP confederation configuration example 
Network requirements 
As shown in Figure 68, to reduce IBGP connections, AS 200 is split into three sub-ASs: AS65001, 
AS65002, and AS65003. Routers in AS65001 are fully meshed.

Configuration procedure 
1.  Configure IP addresses for interfaces. (Details not shown.) 
2.  Configure the BGP confederation: 
# Configure Router A.
