Bgp Configuration - Huawei S6700 Series Configuration Manual

S6700 Series Ethernet Switches
Configuration Guide - IP Routing
About This Chapter
BGP is used between ASs to transmit routing information on large-scale and complex networks.
7.1 BGP Overview
BGP is mainly used to control route transmission and select the optimal route.
7.2 BGP Features Supported by the S6700
The system supports various BGP features, including route summarization, peer group, route
reflector, confederation, community, MP-BGP, BGP Tracking, route dampening, load
balancing, BGP next hop delayed response, BFD for BGP and BGP security.
7.3 Configuring Basic BGP Functions
Configuring basic BGP functions is the prerequisite to building a BGP network.
7.4 Configuring BGP Route Attributes
BGP has many route attributes. Configuring route attributes can change route selection results.
7.5 Configuring BGP to Advertise Routes
BGP is used to transmit routing information. BGP advertises only the wanted routes after filtering
routes to be advertised, and modifies route attributes to direct network traffic.
7.6 Configuring BGP to Receive Routes
BGP is used to transmit routing information. BGP can filter received routes to accept only the
expected routes, and can modify route attributes to direct network traffic.
7.7 Configuring BGP Route Aggregation
Configuring BGP Route Aggregation on a device can reduce the sizes of routing tables on the
peers of the device.
7.8 Configuring BGP Peer Groups
Configuring BGP peer groups simplifies the BGP network configuration and improves the route
advertisement efficiency.
7.9 Configuring BGP Route Reflectors
Deploying BGP RRs allows IBGP peers to communicate without establishing full-mesh
connections between them. Using BGP RRs simplifies network configurations and improves
route advertisement efficiency.
