Figure 1-22 Network diagram for BGP load balancing configuration (on switches)
Configuration procedure
1) Configure IP addresses for interfaces (omitted)
2) Configure BGP connections
z
On Switch A, establish eBGP connections with Switch B and Switch C respectively; configure BGP
to advertise network 8.1.1.0/24 to Switch B and Switch C, so that Switch B and Switch C can
access the internal network connected to Switch A.
z
On Switch B, establish an eBGP connection with Switch A and an iBGP connection with Switch C;
configure BGP to advertise network 9.1.1.0/24 to Switch A, so that Switch A can access the
intranet through Switch B; configure a static route to interface loopback 0 on Switch C (or use a
routing protocol like OSPF) to establish the iBGP connection.
z
On Switch C, establish an eBGP connection with Switch A and an iBGP connection with Switch B;
configure BGP to advertise network 9.1.1.0/24 to Switch A, so that Switch A can access the
intranet through Switch C; configure a static route to interface loopback 0 on Switch B (or use
another protocol like OSPF) to establish the iBGP connection.
