Remarks
Configuring basic BGP:
• (Required.) Enabling BGP
• (Required.) Perform one of the following tasks:
{ Configuring a BGP peer
{ Configuring a BGP peer group
• (Optional.) Specifying the source interface for TCP connections
HP recommends
configuring BGP peer
groups on large scale
BGP networks for easy
configuration and
maintenance.
Generating BGP routes:
• Perform at least one of the following tasks:
{ Injecting a local network
{ Redistributing IGP routes
N/A
(Optional.) Controlling route distribution and reception:
• Configuring BGP route summarization
• Advertising optimal routes in the IP routing table
• Advertising a default route to a peer or peer group
• Limiting routes received from a peer or peer group
• Configuring BGP route filtering policies
• Configuring BGP route dampening
N/A
(Optional.) Controlling BGP path selection:
• Specifying a preferred value for routes received
• Configuring preferences for BGP routes
• Configuring the default local preference
• Configuring the MED attribute
• Configuring the NEXT_HOP attribute
• Configuring the AS_PATH attribute
N/A
(Optional.) Tuning and optimizing BGP networks:
• Configuring the keepalive interval and hold time
• Configuring the interval for sending updates for the same route
• Enabling BGP to establish an EBGP session over multiple hops
• Enabling immediate reestablishment of direct EBGP connections upon link failure
• Enabling 4-byte AS number suppression
• Configuring MD5 authentication for BGP
• Configuring BGP load balancing
• Disabling BGP to establish a session to a peer or peer group
• Configuring BGP soft-reset
• Protecting an EBGP peer when memory usage reaches level 2 threshold
N/A
(Optional.) Configuring a large-scale BGP network:
• Configuring BGP community
• Configuring a BGP route reflector
• Configuring a BGP confederation
N/A
