What is BGP community Local-AS? How to configure?

 Local-AS is a well known BGP community and its use in confederations scenarios to prevent the transmit of traffic outside the local-as. If you are not sure about what is BGP communities are and how its work then I advises you to read my introduction to BGP community first before you continue this lab.

Let see the configuration for better understanding, we are continuing our previous topology.

Before we start  BGP configuration check out some important  of BGP CCIE exam topics.

Here is the lists of all BGP labs and theories CCNA to CCIE 

1.Introduction of BGP

2.BGP Neighbors

3.BGP Peer Group

4.BGP Attributes

5.BGP Weight Attribute

6.BGP Local Preference (Local_Pref)

7.BGP Multi Exit Discriminator (MED)

8.BGP AS Path Prepending

9.BGP Route Reflectors (RR)

10.BGP Communities_No-advertise configuration

11.BGP community Local-AS

12.BGP Confederations and configuration

13.BGP Route filtering methods

Topology:-

Goal:

• configure the topology as per the diagram and assign the IP addresses.
• configure iBGP and EBGP neighborship. 
• configure router 2 to advertise 12.0.0.0/24 prefix all the routers within the AS 650123.
