Objectives
Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings and Interface Addressing
Part 2: Configure MP-BGP on all Routers
Part 3: Verify MP-BGP
Part 4: Configure and Verify IPv6 Summarization

Background / Scenario
In this lab, you will configure MP-BGP, BGP for IPv4 and IPv6 using address families.
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: Make sure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you
are unsure contact your instructor.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.

Required Resources
 3 Routers (Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 universal image or comparable)
 1 PC (Choice of operating system with a terminal emulation program installed)
 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.

a. Console into each router, enter global configuration mode, and apply the basic settings and interface
addressing. A command list for each router is listed below to perform initial configuration.

R3(config-router-af)# network 192.168.3.64 mask 255.255.255.192

R3(config-router-af)# network 2001:db8:acad:3001::/64
R3(config-router-af)# exit
Close configuration window

Note: Notice that the networks between the routers are not being advertised in eBGP. Typically, only the
prefixes of the AS need to be advertised in eBGP. eBGP neighbors are typically directly connected and
therefore will be able to form an adjacency. There is typically no need to advertise and inject the directly
connected prefixes into the BGP routing table.

Part 3: Verify MP-BGP

Step 1: Display detailed neighbor adjacency information.
Use the show bgp all neighbors command on R2 to display detailed information about BGP connections to
neighbors for all (IPv4 and IPv6) address families. Each neighbor shows that it is in the “Established” state.
This indicates that the router can send and receive BGP messages. R2 has two neighbor addresses, R1 and
R3, for each address family, IPv4 and IPv6.
Open configuration window

R2# show bgp all neighbors

For address family: IPv4 Unicast
BGP neighbor is 10.1.2.1, remote AS 1000, external link
BGP version 4, remote router ID 1.1.1.1
BGP state = Established, up for 01:56:25
Last read 00:00:48, last write 00:00:50, hold time is 180, keepalive interval is 60

BGP version 4, remote router ID 1.1.1.1

Last read 00:00:07, last write 00:00:04, hold time is 180, keepalive interval is 60

BGP state = Established, up for 01:56:09
Last read 00:00:32, last write 00:00:48, hold time is 180, keepalive interval is 60
seconds
<output omitted>
Note: Most information displayed using show bgp all neighbors command has been omitted for brevity. The
command show bgp neighbors is used to display only BGP for IPv4 adjacencies. To display the same
information for only IPv6 neighbors, use the command show bgp ipv6 neighbors.
Questions:

What is the BGP state for each neighbor adjacency?

Established
How often are BGP keepalives sent?

Every 60 seconds
How many seconds will a BGP session remain open if no further keepalive messages are received?

180 seconds, the value of the hold time interval

Step 2: Display summary neighbor adjacency information.

Use the show bgp ipv4 unicast summary and show bgp ipv6 unicast summary commands on R2 to
display a summary of IPv4/IPv6 peering information with R1 and R3. The information displayed using the
show bgp ipv4 unicast summary is a subset of show ip all bgp command.

Question:

What is the difference between the "local AS number" and the "AS" number displayed in the list of BGP
neighbors?
Type your answers here.

The local AS is the AS that this router belongs to. The AS in the list of BGP neighbors is the AS of the remote
neighbor.

Step 3: Verify BGP tables for IPv4 and IPv6.

a. Use the show bgp ipv4 unicast command on R2 to display its IPv4 BGP table. This command is
equivalent to the show ip bgp command and either command can be used. Notice that R1 shows six

Questions:

In the first output show bgp ipv4 unicast, why is 10.1.2.1 the preferred next hop address for 192.168.1.0
instead of 10.2.3.3?
Type your answers here.

Given that prior BGP path selection attributes are equal, this next hop is only one AS away, whereas
10.2.3.3 is two AS hops.
Why do some entries in the show bgp ipv6 unicast output include a next hop address of "::"?
Type your answers here.

This is unspecified address and indicates that the local router is generating the prefix for the BGP table.

Step 4: Viewing explicit routes and path attributes.

a. Use the show bgp ipv4 unicast ipv4-prefix subnet-mask command on R2 to display all the paths for a
specific route and BGP path attributes for that route.
R2# show bgp ipv4 unicast 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.224

Question:

Why does the output for the show bgp ipv6 unicast command include the link-local address following
the global unicast address?
Type your answers here.

This is the link-local address of the router that sent the BGP update. Link-local addresses are used to
send BGP messages.
b. Use the show bgp ipv4 unicast neighbors ipv4-prefix advertised-routes command on R2 to display
IPv4 routes advertised to a specific neighbor.

Question:

Why do some entries in the show bgp ipv4 unicast neighbors output include a next hop address of
0.0.0.0 and the show bgp ipv6 unicast neighbors output includes a next hop address of "::"?
Type your answers here.

This indicates that the local router is generating the prefix.

Step 5: Verifying the IP routing tables for IPv4 and IPv6.

a. By examining the IPv4 and IPv6 routing tables on R2, you can verify that BGP is receiving the IPv4 and
IPv6 prefixes from R1 and R3.
R2# show ip route bgp | begin Gateway
Gateway of last resort is not set

192.168.1.0/24 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks

Part 4: Configure and Verify IPv6 Route Summarization

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.
a. Verify R2 and R3 are receiving 2001:db8:acad:1000::/64 and 2001:db8:acad:1001::/64 from R1.

b. Although AS 1000 only has two IPv6 prefixes - 2001:db8:acad:1000::/64 and 2001:db8:acad:1001::/64,
this customer has been allocated the entire 2001:db8:acad:1000::/52 prefix (2001:db8:acad:1xxx).
R1 is configured using the aggregate-address command in IPv6 AF mode to summarize its IPv6
prefixes. This is known as a summary route or aggregate route. The summary-only option suppresses
the more specific prefixes from also being advertised.
R1(config)# router bgp 1000
R1(config-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
R1(config-router-af)# aggregate-address 2001:db8:acad:1000::/52 summary-only

Question:

If R1's 2001:db8:acad:1000::/64 network went down, what would be the effect, if any, on the routing
tables of R2 and R3? Explain.
Type your answers here.

There would be no effect because the summary route will still be valid and advertised as long as at least
one subnet within the summary route is still reachable. In this case, as long as 2001:db8:acad:1001::/64
is still reachable, this aggregated route will still be advertised.

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.
