Configuring BGP4+

Establishing BGP4+ Peer Relationships

Establishing BGP4+ peer relationships enables nodes on a BGP4+ network to communicate.

Configuring BGP4+ to Advertise Routes

Configuring BGP4+ to advertise routes enables BGP4+ peers to exchange BGP4+ routes.

Configuring BGP4+ to Import Routes

BGP4+ obtains the routing information inside the AS by importing the IGP routing information and advertises the route to the peer. Before the IGP routing information is imported, related configuration should be made to allow BGP4+ to import default routes.

Controlling the Advertising and Receiving of BGP4+ Routing Information

BGP4+ can perform routing policies on or filter only the routes to be advertised or Received to a certain peer.

Configuring BGP4+ Route Selection and Load Balancing

BGP4+ has many route attributes. By configuring these attributes, you can change BGP4+ routing policies.

Simplifying BGP4+ Network Connections

Configuring a route reflector and a confederation on an IBGP network can simplify BGP4+ network connections.

Adjusting the BGP4+ Network Convergence Speed

By setting parameters of a connection between BGP4+ peers, you can adjust and optimize the BGP4+ network performance.

Configuring BGP4+ Security

To improve BGP4+ security, you can perform TCP connection authentication.

Configuring BGP4+ Reliability

You can configure BGP4+ Tracking, association between BGP4+ and BFD, and BGP4+ GR to speed up BGP4+ network convergence and improve BGP4+ reliability.
