Data Providers (TDP) network and allow the networks to communicate via BGP. Verify that all
implementations are operational and functional according to guidelines.
• All routers will be participating in BGP. Configure all routers for a full mesh of
IBGP peers in each system.
• Advertise all loopback interfaces into the BGP process, except on R2, where
the only loopback advertised should be loopback 2.
• On R2, create a static summary route for the rest of its loopback interfaces
and advertise this static route in BGP.
FYI on route maps, a route map must have at least one match clause or one set clause. If you have no
match clauses, all routes match the route map, and the set conditions apply to all routes. If you have no
set clauses, no action is taken other than that specified by the permit or deny keyword. If this were not
true we would need to do the following:
It is a requirement to advertise two different metrics to R4 from the two routers in AS 65001 in order to
influence the path that it chooses because the default setting for metric is a null value. How can R4 make
a comparison between a null metric advertised from R1 and a high metric advertised from R3? With
metric lower is better. It seems as if simply placing a high metric on R3 advertised to R4 would be
sufficient to influence R4 path selection but I have never tested this in a lab environment.
• Routers in the ITA AS should prefer the path to TDP networks via the
Ethernet link between R1 and R4. Accomplish this by modifying the local
preference of routes being advertised in from TDP.
The default local preference is 100. R3 is advertising a local preference of 100 for his path to AS 65002 to
his IBGP peers. Local preference is used to influence the path that routers take to leave the local AS and
has no influence over EBGP peers. Higher local preference is better than lower (this is the reverse of how
metric works).
