La b 1
BGP Peering

Overview
This lab covers configuration of OSPF and BGP (iBGP & eBGP) topics.

You have been assigned a POD consisting of 3 devices: The Tokyo, HongKong and SanJose
routers. Make sure you understand which devices have been assigned to you. This lab guide takes
as a configuration example POD A but this just a reference. If you have been assigned a different
POD than A, make sure you adapt your configurations to your assigned POD, following always the
lab diagram.
Note that your lab login (password lab123) grants you all permissions needed to complete this lab;
however some restrictions have been made to prevent loss of connectivity to the devices.
By completing this lab, you will perform the following tasks:
Configuration:
Configure the IGP within your AS (OSPF)
Configure IBGP peering between loopback addresses
Configure EBGP peering to physical addresses
Operation:
Use show commands to verify and troubleshoot interface operation
Use show commands to verify and troubleshoot routing table operation
Use show commands to verify and troubleshoot OSPF operation
Use show commands to verify and troubleshoot BGP operation

Please refer to the next page lab diagram to perform this exercise:

Key Commands
Key operational mode commands used in this lab include the following:
show interfaces
show route
show ospf interfaces
show ospf neighbors
show bgp neighbor
show bgp summary
show route
show route protocol ospf

Part 1: Load reset configuration on your routers


Step 1.1
Familiarize yourself with the BGP Peering setup in the lab 1 diagram handout taking note of your
routers AS number and IBGP/EBGP peering relationships. You will configure 3x J-series routers.
Note that the topology includes some other ASs that contain other routers. You do NOT need to
configure those; they are already pre-configured to do their role. Feel free however to login into them
and look at your convenience.
Log into your assigned routers and go ahead and load the file lab1-bgp-start that is located in
the bgp/ directory of your device. This will give us a working baseline configuration on the devices.

lab@SanJose> configure
Entering configuration mode
[edit]
lab@SanJose# load override bgp/lab1-bgp-start
load complete

Familiarize with the configuration just loaded. You will notice that there are IPv4 address configured
on the interfaces. Interfaces have been preconfigured for you so do not have to worry about them,
they just work
Once you are satisfied commit your configuration.

[edit]
lab@SanJose# commit and-quit
commit complete

____________________________ Note__________________________
Do not forget to load this configuration file in the two remaining routers of the
topology.
__________________________________________________________________

Juniper BGP lab exercise: BGP Peering

Part 2: Configure Your IGP (OSPF)


Step 2.1
You will begin configuring an IGP for your ASs as described in the lab topology diagram. OSPF will
be your choice.. Remember that OSPF should be configured only within each AS. To do so, make
sure that you only run the protocol on the core facing interfaces.
Be sure that you prevent IGP adjacency formation between AS boundaries by disabling your IGP on
the links that interconnect your router to EBGP peers (just do not run ospf on them).
Configure OSPF protocol on your device and include all participating interfaces on area 0. As a
reference, here you have a capture from the SanJose router. Once you are satisfied, go ahead and
commit your changes.

[edit]
lab@SanJose# edit protocols
[edit protocols]
lab@SanJose# set ospf area 0 interface ge-0/0/3

[edit protocols]
lab@SanJose# set ospf area 0 interface se-1/0/0

[edit protocols]
lab@SanJose# set ospf area 0 interface lo0

Your configuration should look like this example taken from SanJose. When satisfied with your
configuration changes go ahead and commit them.

[edit protocols]
lab@SanJose# show
ospf {
area 0.0.0.0 {
interface lo0.0;
interface ge-0/0/3.0;
interface se-1/0/0.0;
}
}
[edit protocols]
lab@SanJose# commit
commit complete
.

____________________________ Note__________________________
Repeat this steps on every router in the topology. That will result in 4x OSPF
domains on each respective AS.

Part 3: Use Operational Commands to Verify IGP Operation


Step 3.1
Verify that all IGP adjacencies are correctly established.

Are the IGP adjacencies to your internal peers correctly established?

 The IGP adjacencies associated with the SanJose router are confirmed in the sample
output related to the OSPF protocol:

[edit protocols]
lab@SanJose# run show ospf neighbor

Address Interface State ID Pri Dead


10.0.22.1 ge-0/0/3.0 Full 192.168.18.1 128 37
10.0.16.1 se-1/0/0.0 Full 192.168.16.1 128 37

Step 3.2
Confirm that you have IGP routes to all the loopback addresses for all routers within your AS.

Are the loopback addresses for all routers in your AS correctly listed?

 The sample output taken from the SanJose router confirms that an IGP route exists
to the loopback address of both HongKong and Tokyo

[edit protocols]
lab@SanJose# run show route protocol ospf | match /32
192.168.16.1/32 *[OSPF/10] 02:56:13, metric 2
192.168.18.1/32 *[OSPF/10] 02:56:13, metric 1
224.0.0.5/32 *[OSPF/10] 03:07:06, metric 1

____________________________ Note__________________________
Note the metric value of 2 to reach the directly connected neighbor HongKong.
This comes from the OSPF calculation of metrics (metric=100000/Bandwidth of
interface) that assigns a cost of 12 to the SanJose-HongKong serial link,
making it less attractive than the 2 time GigaEthernet path SanJose-Tokyo-
HongKong which cost is 1 for each interface
__________________________________________________________________

5
Juniper BGP lab exercise: BGP Peering

Step 3.3 Fix the metric issue of serial interfaces

Enter the following command on all routers with serial interfaces participating in OSPF. Please note
this is not needed on serial links which interconnect ASs since they do not participate in OSPF.

lab@SanJose# edit ospf

[edit protocols ospf]


lab@SanJose# set area 0 interface se-1/0/0.0 metric 1

[edit protocols ospf]


lab@SanJose# show
area 0.0.0.0 {
interface lo0.0;
interface ge-0/0/3.0;
interface se-1/0/0.0 {
metric 1;
}
}
[edit protocols ospf]
lab@SanJose# commit
commit complete

After the metric changes, does your traceroute follow an optimal path?

 Yes it does. Now all links have a cost of 1 which makes the routing optimal. Please
note that we are just manipulating metrics and fooling OSPF as the previous behavior
certainly did follow the Shortest Path First based on cost of links

lab@SanJose# run traceroute 192.168.16.1


traceroute to 192.168.16.1 (192.168.16.1), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 192.168.16.1 (192.168.16.1) 7.522 ms 6.886 ms 4.886 ms

[edit protocols ospf]


lab@SanJose# run show route 192.168.16.1

inet.0: 7 destinations, 7 routes (7 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)


+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both
192.168.16.1/32 *[OSPF/10] 00:03:04, metric 1
> via se-1/0/0.0

____________________________ Note__________________________
Because your loopback-based IBGP sessions rely on a functional IGP, you
should not proceed until you have confirmed that your ASs IGP is operational.
__________________________________________________________________

Part 4: Configure Loopback-Based IBGP Peerings


Step 4.1
Configure your routers AS number in accordance with the values shown in the lab diagram on every
router of the topology. Here is an example taken from the SanJose router..

[edit protocols ospf]


lab@SanJose# top edit routing-options

[edit routing-options]
lab@SanJose# set autonomous-system 702

Step 4.2
Configure IBGP peering sessions between the loopback interfaces of all routers associated with your
autonomous system. As BGP dictates, we need a full mesh of iBGP sessions within the AS. Look at
the lab diagram; every blue arrow is an iBGP session that you have to configure.
Assign the name ibgp to this grouping of IBGP peers. Make sure that you specify your stations
loopback address along with the local-address statement to ensure that you correctly initiate
IBGP sessions from your loopback address.

[edit routing-options]
lab@SanJose# top

[edit]
lab@SanJose# edit protocols bgp group ibgp

[edit protocols bgp group ibgp]


lab@SanJose# set type internal

[edit protocols bgp group ibgp]


lab@SanJose# set local-address 192.168.20.1

[edit protocols bgp group ibgp]


lab@SanJose# set neighbor 192.168.18.1

[edit protocols bgp group ibgp]


lab@SanJose# set neighbor 192.168.16.1

Step 4.3
When complete, your ibgp peer group definition should be similar to this example taken from the
SanJose station in AS 702:

[edit protocols bgp group ibgp]


lab@SanJose# show
type internal;
local-address 192.168.20.1;

7
Juniper BGP lab exercise: BGP Peering

neighbor 192.168.16.1;
neighbor 192.168.18.1;

____________________________ Note__________________________
Repeat similar steps on every router in your AS.
__________________________________________________________________

Part 5: Configure EBGP Peerings


Step 5.1
Configure the EBGP peering sessions shown for your station to the physical address associated with
the external neighbor. Look at the lab diagram; every red arrow is an eBGP session that you have to
configure.

[edit protocols bgp group ibgp]


lab@SanJose# up

[edit protocols bgp]


lab@SanJose# edit group AS44

[edit protocols bgp group AS44]


lab@SanJose# set type external

[edit protocols bgp group AS44]


lab@SanJose# set neighbor 10.0.0.2

[edit protocols bgp group AS44]


lab@SanJose# set peer-as 44

Step 5.2
When complete, your EBGP peer definition should be similar to this example taken from the
SanJose station. Note how this configuration places the EBGP neighbors into separate EBGP peer
groups:

[edit protocols bgp group AS44]


lab@SanJose# up
[edit protocols bgp]
lab@SanJose# show
group ibgp {
type internal;
local-address 192.168.20.1;
neighbor 192.168.16.1;
neighbor 192.168.18.1;
}
group AS44 {
type external;

8
Juniper BGP lab exercise: BGP Peering

peer-as 44;
neighbor 10.0.0.2;
}

Step 5.3
Commit the changes, and return to operational mode when you are satisfied with your IGP, IBGP,
and EBGP configuration.

[edit protocols bgp]


lab@SanJose# commit and-quit
commit complete
Exiting configuration mode

____________________________ Note__________________________
Repeat similar steps and bring up the relevant eBGP sessions on your other
assigned routers in the topology.
__________________________________________________________________

Part 6: Use Operational Commands to Verify BGP Operation


Step 6.1
Confirm that all of your IBGP and EBGP sessions are correctly established.

____________________________ Note__________________________
You should use ping commands to verify connectivity to the BGP peering point
if any of your BGP sessions show a state of active, idle, or connect. If the
pings are successful, then double-check your BGP configuration to ensure no
mistakes were made.
__________________________________________________________________

Are all the BGP sessions associated with your station correctly established?

 The sample output below shows that the SanJose station correctly established both
of its IBGP sessions to peers in AS 702, and the EBGP session to AS 44:

lab@SanJose> show bgp summary

192.168.18.1 702 478 546 0 0 3:29:47
0/0/0/0 0/0/0/0

What is the significance of the 0/0/0/0 indication in the output of a show bgp
summary command?

 In the case of the peering with your iBGP peers, the 0/0/0/0 entries indicate that 0
routes are active , that 0 routes have been received, that 0 routes have been accepted
and that 0 routes have been suppressed due to damping. In essence, this indicates that
you have established BGP sessions, but that you are not receiving any NLRI over these
sessions.

Step 6.2
Determine whether any BGP routes exist.

Are any BGP routes present

 Yes, there are some BGP learned routes coming from the external peers

lab@SanJose> show route protocol bgp

Step 6.3
Display BGP group information for your ibgp group.

lab@SanJose> show bgp group ibgp


Group Type: Internal AS: 702 Local AS: 702
Name: ibgp Index: 0 Flags: <Export Eval>

Trace options: detail open, detail update, detail keepalive
Trace file: /var/log/bgp size 131072 files 10
inet.0: 0/300/300/0

Step 6.4
Display BGP neighbor-specific information for one of your EBGP peers.
What hold-time has been negotiated with your neighbors?

 The default hold time is 90 seconds.

What is the session keepalive value?

 The keepalive interval is set to 30 seconds and is based on a value that is one third that
of the sessions hold time.

What NLRI has been negotiated for this session? Does the peer support BGP
refresh?

 The sample display confirms that only the inet-unicast NLRI family has been
negotiated and that the refresh capability has been negotiated.

For a particular neighbor, can you tell which peer initiated the TCP connection?

 Yes. The neighbor that initiates the TCP connection specifies a destination port of 179
and a source port that does not equal 179. In the sample output shown, the value of 179
in the Local: 10.0.0.2+179 portion of the display indicates that 10.0.0.1 initiated the
TCP session.

Step 7.3
Perform a soft clear on one of your routers iBGP sessions while monitoring the bgp log file.
According to the tracing output, did the soft clear tear down the BGP session?

13
Juniper BGP lab exercise: BGP Peering

 No, a soft clear uses the BGP refresh capability to request that a peer readvertise all of
its NLRI without tearing down the BGP connection. This will cause our router
SanJose to send all its learned NLRIs from AS44 again to the iBGP peer. A lot of
activity will be on display:

Step 7.4
Clear one of your IBGP sessions while monitoring the bgp log file for at least 30 seconds. This time
do not use the soft command so that will cause a complete session reset.
Was the IBGP session successfully torn down and reestablished?

 Yes, in this example, the trace output shows IBGP session teardown and
reestablishment:
