Configuring IPv6 Routing solutions using BGP4+
This guide briefly describes the Border Gateway Protocol 4+ (BGP4+) in general terms and how to configure a variety of IPv6 routing scenarios using BGP4+ on AlliedWare Plus™. It is intended for audiences with a good understanding of network routing protocols and device configuration.
The discussion begins with an overview of the BGP4+ protocol and related RFCs, how it operates, and where it is normally implemented. This is followed by a basic set-up guide which also outlines inter-operation with other vendors, basic and advanced set-up instructions for BGP peering, and how to verify BGP settings using appropriate AlliedWare Plus show commands. This section rounds off with a description of BGP and BGP4+ terms used throughout the guide. The guide then provides a variety of BGP4+ configuration scenarios. Each scenario includes a simple network diagram, step-by-step configuration instructions, and examples of command output verifying the configuration.
The configuration examples are grouped into the following areas:
- BGP4+ Basic setup
- Redistribution
- Route Filtering
- Route Aggregation
- Path Control
- Load Sharing Examples
- Session Management Options
- Comparison of BGP Session Reset Methods
