BGP Filtering Maximum Prefix


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.

  1. 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
