BGP Attributes




BGP Attributes

 BGP support a wide variety of path attribute, BGP chooses a route to a network based on the attributes of its path.


Four categories of attributes exist are as follows:-

  • Well-known mandatory
  • Well-known discretionary
  • Optional transitive
  • Optional non-transitive

Well-known mandatory attributes must be recognized by all BGP routers, present in all BGP updates, and passed on to other BGP routers. AS path, origin, and next hop.

Well-known discretionary must be recognized by all BGP routers and passed on to other BGP routers but need not be present in an update. Local preference

Optional transitive might or might not be recognized by a BGP router but is passed on to other BGP routers.
If not recognized, it is marked as partial. Aggregation, community.

Optional non-transitive If the BGP process does not recognize the attribute then it can ignore the update and not advertise the path to its peer. Multi-exit discriminator (MED), originator ID

 AS_Path attribute- this particular path attribute lists the autonomous system numbers in the end-to-end path. BGP uses AS_Path as its primary loop-prevention tool.



 AS_Path attribute is a well-known mandatory attribute. its list of AS through which updates are coming. The shortest AS_PATH list is more desirable.


Next_hop is a well-known, mandatory attribute next hop means IP address to reach next autonomous system because BGP is AS by AS routing protocol. 


Origin attribute 

origin informs all AS in internetwork how network got introduced into BGP.

 (i)  represent IGP
 (e) represent EBGP
 (?) represent incomplete        

Weight Attribute is a cisco's attribute. its tell how to exit the AS, path with the highest weight is more desirable. weight is partial attribute, by default weight 0 learn route 32,769 for locally injected routes. its local to the router not advertise to any BGP peers.

Local Preference Attribute

Local preference define how to data traffic should exit from an Autonomous system. path with highest preference value is more desirable by default is 100, and the range 0 through 232  local preference is well known, discretionary attribute it is advertise only to iBGP neighbor within an Autonomous system.

What is BGP Peer Group and How to configure BGP Peer group?


 By default, BGP updates are sent on a neighbor-to-neighbor basis and the result is more CPU resources being used, also by implementing non-default settings for example performing filtering using prefix lists, route maps, or filter lists to those neighbors, even more, CPU resources are consumed.




 When many neighbors are having similar configuration parameters. Cisco IOS allows us to create a logical group of those similar neighbors into a BGP peer group then you apply your non-default BGP configuration to those parameters to each neighbor individually. Actually, a single router can have multiple peer groups, each representing a separate set of parameters. As a result, fewer CPU resources are required. Remember router still sends out individual BGP updates to each of its neighbors. It does require based on BGP characteristics establishing a TCP session with each neighbor.


In short: a BGP peer group means applying the same policies to multiple neighbors. It's useful when many neighbors have the same configuration parameter. updates are generated once per peer group.






let's see the configurations.
Topology:

Goal:



  • configure the topology as per the diagram and its interfaces.
  • configure EIGRP 100 on all the routers to ensure the reachability between the loopbacks. 
  • configure loopback 0 to establish peering, and configure peer group name cisco.
  • configure authentication and make sure all the peer should use the same password. (in our topology we use internetworks)
  • configure BGP version 4 and advertise LAN interfaces only.

BGP Neighbors




BGP Neighbors

BGP neighbors are routers forming TCP connections for exchanging BGP updates it’s also called BGP peers or BGP speakers.


There are two types of BGP neighbor relationship

IBGP (internal BGP)
EBGP (External BGP)

BGP first forms a neighbor relationship with BGP speakers (peer). Then its learns information from its peer, BGP place that information in its BGP table and analyze the table to choose the best working route for each subnet in the BGP table, placing those routes into the IP routing table.

There are several requirements for forming BGP neighbors:-

  • A local router’s autonomous system number must match the neighboring router’s ASN.
  • The BGP router ID of the two routers must not be the same.
  • Each router must be part of a TCP connection.
  • Authentication must be passing if it’s configured



BGP message types

  • Open- it’s used to established a neighbor relationship and exchange its parameter, its include ASN and authentication values.
  • Keepalive it’s used to maintain the neighbor relationship and it’s sent periodically
  • Update- its used to exchange path attribute.
  • Notification- it’s used error signals. It does occur in neighbor relationship reset.  




BGP neighbor states

  • Idle – it’s a down state by administratively down or waiting for the next retry attempt.

R1# show ip bgp summary



Neighbor        V           AS MsgRcvd MsgSent   TblVer  InQ OutQ Up/Down  State/PfxRcd
1.1.1.2         4          501      11       9        8    0    0 00:04:28        4
4.1.1.1         4          501       0       0        1    0    0 never    Idle




  • Connect- this state means its waiting for the TCP connection to be completed.
  • Active- this state means the TCP connection has been completed but there is no BGP messages sent yet to its peer.
  • Opensent- this state means the TCP connection has been established and BGP open message is sent to its BGP speakers but the matching Open message is not received yet from the peer router.
  • Openconfirm- this state means open message has been sent and received from BGP speaker router. But it’s waiting for keepalive message.
  • Established- this state means the entire neighbor parameters match and the neighbor relationship has been established. Now BGP speakers (peers) can exchange update messages.







 Configuration:-



Topology:-


 GOAL:





  • configure the topology as per the diagram
  • configure IBGP peering AS 501 as per our topology using directly connected interfaces.
  • ensure the connectivity and make sure all bgp routers should be able exchange the routes through BGP.

(here also router 3 is not getting 10.0.0.0/8 and 11.0.0.0/24 networks because of split horizon rules. the solution is full mesh neighbor-ship or we can use route reflector)
