6.7 Routing Protocols

NOTE: Routing Protocols require a feature license. Go to System Settings → Feature Licenses to enable these features.
A routing protocol is a protocol that specifies how routers communicate with each other, disseminating information that
enables them to select routes between any two nodes on a computer network. Routing algorithms choose the route. Each
router has a prior knowledge only of networks attached to it directly. A routing protocol shares this information first among
immediate neighbors, and then throughout the network. This way, routers gain knowledge of the topology of the network.
Choose from the following tabs to configure routing protocols:
• BGP Routing
• OSPF Routing
• RIP Routing
• RIPNG Routing
• Route Maps and Filters
6.7.1 BGP Routing
The latest version of BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is version 4. BGP-4
is one of the Exterior Gateway Protocols and de facto standard of Inter
Domain routing protocol. BGP-4 is described in RFC1771, A Border
Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4). BGP is a distance vector routing protocol,
and the AS-Path framework provides distance vector metric and loop
detection to BGP. RFC1930.
BGP Editor
• Name: Unique name of the policy.
• ASN: The AS (Autonomous System) number is one of the
essential elements of BGP.
• Router-ID: This sets the router-ID of the BGP process. The router-
ID may be an IP address of the router, but need not be - it can be
