Objectives
Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings and Interface Addressing
Part 2: Configure and Verify eBGP for IPv4 on all Routers
Part 3: Configure and Verify Route Summarization and Atomic Aggregate
Part 4: Configure and Verify Route Summarization with Atomic Aggregate and AS-Set
Part 5: Configure and Verify the Advertising of a Default Route

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.

Required Resources
 3 Routers (Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 universal image or comparable)
 1 PC (Windows with a terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)
 Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
 Ethernet and serial cables as shown in the topology

Instructions

Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings and Interface
Addressing
In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings and interface addressing on
routers.

Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.

Attach the devices as shown in the topology diagram, and cable as necessary.

Step 2: Configure basic settings for each router.

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

Step 1: Implement BGP and neighbor relationships on R1.
a. Enter BGP configuration mode from global configuration mode, specifying AS 1000.
Open configuration window

R1(config)# router bgp 1000

b. Configure the BGP router-id for R1.
R1(config-router)# bgp router-id 1.1.1.1
c. 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
d. 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

Lab - Implement eBGP for IPv4

Step 2: Implement BGP and neighbor relationships on R2.

a. Enter BGP configuration mode from global configuration mode, specifying AS 500.
Open configuration window

R2(config)# router bgp 500

b. Configure the BGP router-id for R2.
R2(config-router)# bgp router-id 2.2.2.2
c. 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
d. 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.

a. Enter BGP configuration mode from global configuration mode, specifying AS 300.
Open configuration window

R3(config)# router bgp 300

b. Configure the BGP router-id for R3.
R3(config-router)# bgp router-id 3.3.3.3
c. 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.
d. 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.

a. 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.

R3# show ip route bgp | begin Gateway

b. 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 0.0.0.0
BGP state = Idle, down for never
Neighbor sessions:

<output omitted>

c. 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
d. 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).

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.

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.

a. 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.

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.

b. 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.

Part 4: Configure and Verify Route Summarization with Atomic Aggregate and
AS-Set
Step 1: Configure route summarization using atomic aggregate and AS-Set.
a. 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
b. 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

c. 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

B 192.168.1.64/26 [20/0] via 10.2.3.2, 00:01:26

d. 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.

a. Verify that R3 is receiving the aggregated prefix 192.168.1.0/24.
Open configuration window

c. 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

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

e. Examine R3's BGP table again. Notice that the entry for 192.168.1.0 this time includes the entire AS path.
The output from the show ip bgp 192.168.1.0 command displays both AS numbers and identifies that R2
(2.2.2.2) aggregated the route.

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

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. End of document
