Usage Guidelines
IBGP requires that networks use a fully-meshed router configuration. This requirement does not scale
well, especially when BGP is used as an interior gateway protocol. One way to reduce the size of a
fully-meshed AS is to divide the AS into multiple sub-autonomous systems and group them into a
routing confederation. Within the confederation, each sub-AS must be fully-meshed. The confederation is
advertised to other networks as a single AS.
Example
The following command deletes a sub-AS from a confederation:
configure bgp delete confederation-peer sub-AS-number 65002
