Background / Scenario

In this lab you will configure eBGP for IPv4.

Note: This lab is an exercise in developing, deploying, and verifying various path manipulation tools for BGP, and does not reflect networking best practices.

Note: The routers used with CCNP hands-on labs are Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 (universalk9 image). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and the output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs.

Note: Ensure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure contact your instructor.

Answers Note: Refer to the Answers Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.

Part 2:Configure and Verify eBGP for IPv4 on all Routers

Step 1:Implement BGP and neighbor relationships on R1.

  1. Enter BGP configuration mode from global configuration mode, specifying AS 1000.

Open configuration window

R1(config)# router bgp 1000

  1. Configure the BGP router-id for R1.

R1(config-router)# bgp router-id 1.1.1.1

  1. Based on the topology diagram, configure all the designated neighbors for R1.

R1(config-router)# neighbor 10.1.2.2 remote-as 500

R1(config-router)# neighbor 10.1.3.3 remote-as 300

R1(config-router)# neighbor 10.1.3.130 remote-as 300

  1. Configure R1 to advertise the IPv4 prefixes local to ASN 1000.

R1(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.224

R1(config-router)# network 192.168.1.64 mask 255.255.255.192

Close configuration window

Step 2:Implement BGP and neighbor relationships on R2.

  1. Enter BGP configuration mode from global configuration mode, specifying AS 500.

Open configuration window

R2(config)# router bgp 500

  1. Configure the BGP router-id for R2.

R2(config-router)# bgp router-id 2.2.2.2

  1. Based on the topology diagram, configure all the designated neighbors for R2.

R2(config-router)# neighbor 10.1.2.1 remote-as 1000

R2(config-router)# neighbor 10.2.3.3 remote-as 300

  1. Configure R2 to advertise the IPv4 prefixes local to ASN 500.

R2(config-router)# network 192.168.2.0 mask 255.255.255.224

R2(config-router)# network 192.168.2.64 mask 255.255.255.192

Close configuration window

Step 3:Implement BGP and neighbor relationships on R3.

  1. Enter BGP configuration mode from global configuration mode, specifying AS 300.

Open configuration window

R3(config)# router bgp 300

  1. Configure the BGP router-id for R3.

R3(config-router)# bgp router-id 3.3.3.3

  1. Unlike the configuration on R1 and R2, disable the default IPv4 unicast behavior.

R3(config-router)# no bgp default ipv4-unicast

The default behavior in IOS is bgp default ipv4-unicast. Routers R1 and R2 were configured using this default behavior. The bgp default ipv4-unicast command enables the automatic exchange of IPv4 address family prefixes. When this command is disabled using no bgp default ipv4-unicast, bgp neighbors must be activated within IPv4 address family (AF) configuration mode. BGP network commands must also be configured within IPv4 AF mode.

  1. Based on the topology diagram, configure all the designated neighbors for R3.

R3(config-router)# neighbor 10.2.3.2 remote-as 500

R3(config-router)# neighbor 10.1.3.1 remote-as 1000

R3(config-router)# neighbor 10.1.3.129 remote-as 1000

Close configuration window

Step 4:Verifying BGP neighbor relationships.

  1. Examine the routing tables on each router. Notice that R1 and R2 are receiving BGP prefixes from each other but not receiving BGP prefixes from R3. And R3 is not receiving any prefixes from R1 or R2. This is because R3 was configured using no bgp default ipv4-unicast and the interfaces must be activated within IPv4 address configuration mode.

Open configuration window

R1# show ip route bgp | begin Gateway

Gateway of last resort is not set

192.168.2.0/24 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks

B192.168.2.0/27 [20/0] via 10.1.2.2, 00:28:40

B192.168.2.64/26 [20/0] via 10.1.2.2, 00:28:40

R2# show ip route bgp | begin Gateway

Gateway of last resort is not set

192.168.1.0/24 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks

B192.168.1.0/27 [20/0] via 10.1.2.1, 00:29:41

B192.168.1.64/26 [20/0] via 10.1.2.1, 00:29:41

R3# show ip route bgp | begin Gateway

Gateway of last resort is not set

  1. This can be further verified by examining the BGP neighbor adjacencies on R2. Notice the BGP state between R2 and R1 is established, while the BGP state between R2 and R3 is idle.

R2# show ip bgp neighbors

BGP neighbor is 10.1.2.1,remote AS 1000, external link

BGP version 4, remote router ID 1.1.1.1

BGP state = Established, up for 00:35:34

Last read 00:00:28, last write 00:00:35, hold time is 180, keepalive interval is 60 seconds

Neighbor sessions:

1 active, is not multisession capable (disabled)

<output omitted>

BGP neighbor is 10.2.3.3,remote AS 300, external link

BGP version 4, remote router ID 0.0.0.0

BGP state = Idle, down for never

Neighbor sessions:

0 active, is not multisession capable (disabled)

<output omitted>

  1. The interfaces on R3 need to be activated in IPv4 AF configuration mode. The neighbor activate command in IPv4 AF configuration mode is required to enable the exchange of BGP information between neighbors. This will enable R3 to form an established neighbor adjacency with both R1 and R2. Additionally, because bgp default ipv4-unicast is disabled, network commands must be configured in IPv4 AF configuration mode.

R3(config-router)# address-family ipv4

R3(config-router-af)# neighbor 10.1.3.1 activate

R3(config-router-af)# neighbor 10.1.3.129 activate

R3(config-router-af)# neighbor 10.2.3.2 activate

R3(config-router-af)# network 192.168.3.0 mask 255.255.255.224

R3(config-router-af)# network 192.168.3.64 mask 255.255.255.192

  1. Verify that all BGP speakers are receiving prefixes from their neighbors. The prefixes from R3 are highlighted in the routing tables of R1 and R2.

Note: The prefixes in the lab are for example purposes only. Most service providers do not accept prefixes larger than /24 for IPv4 (/25 through /32).

B192.168.2.64/26 [20/0] via 10.2.3.2, 00:02:11

  1. Verify that the BGP state between R2 and R3 has now been established.

R2# show ip bgp neighbors | begin BGP neighbor is 10.2.3.3

BGP neighbor is 10.2.3.3,remote AS 300, external link

BGP version 4, remote router ID 3.3.3.3

BGP state = Established, up for 00:12:16

Last read 00:00:37, last write 00:00:52, hold time is 180, keepalive interval is 60 seconds

Neighbor sessions:

1 active, is not multisession capable (disabled)

<output omitted>

Close configuration window

Step 5:Examining the running-configs.

Examine the running-configs on all three routers. Because router R3 was configured using no bgp default ipv4-unicast command, notice that the network commands were automatically entered under the IPv4 AF. This is the same configuration mode where the neighbors were activated to exchange BGP information.

Open configuration window

R1# show running-config | section bgp

Part 3:Configure and Verify Route Summarization and Atomic Aggregate

Step 1:Configure route summarization using atomic aggregate.

Summarizing prefixes conserves router resources and accelerates best-path calculation by reducing the size of the table. Summarization can be configured either for prefixes originated by the AS or prefixes received from downstream providers. Summarization also provides the benefits of stability by hiding flapping routes or having to install new prefixes when they are contained within a summary.

Although AS 1000 only has two prefixes 192.168.1.0/27 and 192.168.1.64/26, this customer has been allocated the entire 192.168.1.0/24 prefix. R3 in AS 300 has two prefixes 192.168.3.0/27 and 192.168.3.64/26 but has been allocated the entire 192.168.3.0/24 prefix.

Configure R1 and R3 to advertise a summary or aggregate route using the aggregate-address command. The summary-only option suppresses the specific prefixes that are summarized from also being advertised. Notice that this command is configured in address-family ipv4 configuration mode on R3.

Open configuration window

R1(config)# router bgp 1000

R1(config-router)# aggregate-address 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 summary-only

R3(config)# router bgp 300

R3(config-router)# address-family ipv4

R3(config-router-af)# aggregate-address 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 summary-only

Step 2:Verify route summarization using atomic aggregate.

  1. Examine the routing tables on each router to verify the route summarization for the two prefixes. Verify that R1 and R3 are each receiving the summary route from the other router. Verify that R2 is receiving aggregate routes from both R1 and R3.

B192.168.3.0/24 [200/0], 00:35:07, Null0

Question:

Why do R1 and R3 contain an entry with a next hop address of Null0? What is the result of having this Null0 route in the routing table?

Type your answers here.

This is the same prefix as the aggregate route advertised by this router. The router’s routing table contains more specific routes. The Null0 route is a discard route for loop prevention. Any packets with a destination IPv4 address matching the aggregated prefix with the Null0 egress interface, but do not match a more specific route, will be dropped.

  1. Examine the BGP table on router R2 to verify the route summarization. When a prefix has the default classful mask, the subnet mask is not displayed. Both 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.3.0 prefixes have a /24 prefix length which would be the default mask for a Class C address.

Question:

Why do two of the entries have the status code of “s”? Specifically, this is the result of what command or option that was configured on these two routers?

Type your answers here.

This indicates that the route was suppressed. These entries were suppressed because a summary route (“*” valid) was advertised instead. Prefixes with a next hop of 0.0.0.0 are directly connected networks on this router. The summary-only option in the aggregate-address command suppressed these more specific prefixes from being advertised.

  1. Examine the explicit 192.168.1.0 prefix entry in R2’s BGP table. The route’s NLRI information indicates that the route was aggregated in AS 1000 by router with the RID 1.1.1.1.

Part 4:Configure and Verify Route Summarization with Atomic Aggregate and AS-Set

Step 1:Configure route summarization using atomic aggregate and AS-Set.

  1. Shut down both serial interfaces on R1. This will create a single path from R1 (AS 1000) to R2 (AS 500) to R3 (AS 300).

Open configuration window

R1(config)# interface s0/1/0

R1(config-if)# shutdown

R1(config-if)# exit

R1(config)# interface s0/1/1

R1(config-if)# shutdown

  1. Remove route aggregation previously configured on R1.

R1(config)# router bgp 1000

R1(config-router)# no aggregate-address 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 summary-only

  1. Verify that R3 is now receiving the non-summarized prefixes 192.168.1.0/27 and 192.168.1.64/26.

R3# show ip route 192.168.1.0

B192.168.1.64/26 [20/0] via 10.2.3.2, 00:01:26

  1. On R2, summarize the prefixes 192.168.1.0/27 and 192.168.1.64/26 received from R1 as 192.168.1.0/24.

R2(config)# router bgp 500

R2(config-router)# aggregate-address 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 summary-only

Close configuration window

Step 2:Verify route summarization using atomic aggregate and AS-Set.

  1. Verify that R3 is receiving the aggregated prefix 192.168.1.0/24.

Open configuration window

  1. On R2, remove the current route aggregation for the 192.168.1.0/24 prefix and configure it again, this time using the as-set option.

R2(config)# router bgp 500

R2(config-router)# no aggregate-address 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 summary-only

R2(config-router)# aggregate-address 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 as-set summary-only

  1. Verify that R3 is receiving the aggregated prefix 192.168.1.0/24.

R3# show ip route bgp | begin Gateway

Part 5:Configure and Verify the Advertising of a Default Route

Step 1:Configure default route advertisement on R2.

Configure R2 to advertise a default router to R1. R2 does not necessarily have to have a default route of its own. Core internet routers that have full internet routing tables and do not require a default route are referred to as being in a default-free zone (DFZ).

Open configuration window

R2(config)# router bgp 500

R2(config-router)# neighbor 10.1.2.1 default-originate

Step 2:Verify default route advertisement on R1.

  1. Examine R1’s routing table to verify that it has received a default route.

R1# show ip route bgp | begin Gateway

Gateway of last resort is 10.1.2.2 to network 0.0.0.0

B*0.0.0.0/0 [20/0] via 10.1.2.2, 00:00:37

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device. The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
