Scenario:
The national hedgehog protection foundation needs your help with their network. They are using BGP for their International networking but the router they are using is a bit old and doesn’t take many prefixes in its BGP table. You want to ensure there is a maximum number of prefixes your router will accept.
Goal:
- All IP addresses have been preconfigured for you.
- Configure EBGP between router Sonic and Tails.
- Configure router Sonic so it will remove the BGP neighbor adjacency when it learns more than 8 prefixes.
- Configure router Sonic so it gives a warning once it receives 6 prefixes.
- After the BGP neighbor adjacency has been removed it should retry creating the BGP adjacency in 2 minutes.
- Configure router Tails so it will generate a warning when it receives 4 prefixes but it should never remove the BGP neighbor adjacency.
It took me 1000s of hours reading books and doing labs, making mistakes over and over again until I mastered all the routing protocols for CCNP.
Would you like to be a master of routing too? In a short time without having to read 900 page books or google the answers to your questions and browsing through forums?
I collected all my knowledge and created a single ebook for you that has everything you need to know to become a master of routing.
You will learn all the secrets about BGP, filtering, prefixes and more.

gud lab, thanks for the lab
Thanks Rene….I hope with your help I will make it and I can really thank you then…..
I think this is the answer to this lab…Please review when you have the time:
router bgp 1
no synchronization
bgp log-neighbor-changes
neighbor 192.168.12.2 remote-as 2
neighbor 192.168.12.2 maximum-prefix 8 restart 2
no auto-summary
!
router bgp 2
no synchronization
bgp log-neighbor-changes
neighbor 192.168.12.1 remote-as 1
neighbor 192.168.12.1 maximum-prefix 4
no auto-summary
