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.

7.6.1 Establishing the Configuration Task

Before configuring BGP to receive routes, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment,
complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the data required for the configuration. This
will help you complete the configuration task quickly and efficiently.
Applicable Environment
BGP is used to transmit routing information between ASs. Route reception directly affects traffic
forwarding.
The BGP switch may receive routes to the same destination from different BGP peers. To control
traffic forwarding paths, the switch needs to filter the received BGP routes.
The switch may be attacked and receive a large number of routes from its BGP peers, consuming
lots of resources of the switch. Therefore, the administrator must limit the resources to be
consumed based on networking planning and switch capacities, no matter whether too many
BGP routes caused by malicious attacks or incorrect configurations.
