# Verify that Switch D can ping the hosts on networks 192.168.64.0/24, 192.168.74.0/24 and
192.168.99.0/24. (Details not shown.)
BGP load balancing configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 66, run EBGP between Switch A and Switch B, and between Switch A and Switch
C. Run IBGP between Switch B and Switch C. Configure load balancing over the two EBGP links on
Switch A.
Figure 66 Network diagram
Requirements analysis
On Switch A:
• Establish EBGP connections with Switch B and Switch C.
• Configure BGP to advertise network 8.1.1.0/24 to Switch B and Switch C, so that Switch B and
Switch C can access the internal network connected to Switch A.
On Switch B:
• Establish an EBGP connection with Switch A and an IBGP connection with Switch C.
• Configure BGP to advertise network 9.1.1.0/24 to Switch A, so that Switch A can access the
intranet through Switch B.
• Configure a static route to interface loopback 0 on Switch C (or use a routing protocol like OSPF)
to establish the IBGP connection.
On Switch C:
• Establish an EBGP connection with Switch A and an IBGP connection with Switch B.
• Configure BGP to advertise network 9.1.1.0/24 to Switch A, so that Switch A can access the
intranet through Switch C.
• Configure a static route to interface loopback 0 on Switch B (or use another protocol like OSPF)
to establish the IBGP connection.
Configure load balancing on Switch A.
