BGP Conditional Advertisement

Posted by October 11, 2011 in BGP

Scenario:

An international toy store company needs your help. They use BGP to exchange routing information between their sites but everytime one of their IBGP routers fails they have connectivity issues. Let’s see if you can help them out!

Goal:

  • All IP addresses have been preconfigured for you.
  • Configure EBGP between AS 1 and AS 2.
  • Configure EBGP between AS 2 and AS 3.
  • Configure router Pegasus to advertise network 2.2.2.0 /24 in BGP.
  • Configure router Phoenix to advertise network 1.1.1.0 /24 in BGP.
  • Configure router Pegasus so it does no longer advertise network 2.2.2.0 /24 when network 1.1.1.0 /24 is no longer reachable.

  4. Hi RENEMOLAR

    Nice and wonderful it works nice, i am learining unknown things from this vault. Thanks for your amazing blog..

  5. HI Rene

    I have just had a look at this video and have a following questin.

    You created conditional map which withdraws lo0 1.1.1.1 when neighbour relationship between pagesus and phenox is manually shutdown. My question is as follows.
    Would bgp not automatically withdraw 1.1.1.1 from its BGP routing table and stop advertising any routes leared from Phenox wheh the neighbour relationship between the two goes down?

    I look forward to your feedback.

    Thanks

    Imran

    1. Hi Imran,

      It will no longer advertise network 1.1.1.0 /24 anymore once this neighbor adjacency is down but it will still advertise 2.2.2.0 /24.

      The key to this lab is that we don’t want to advertise 2.2.2.0 /24 anymore once 1.1.1.0 /24 disappears from the routing table of Pegasus.

      Keep in mind that network 2.2.2.0 /24 is on the loopback from router Pegasus so it will be advertised to router Pixie.

  6. Thank you so much for your struggle and giving support other people , i really appreciate you work MR ReneMolenaar.
