Chapter 27. Border Gateway Protocol

Border

Gateway

Protocol

(BGP)

Internet

protocol

that

enables

routers

IPv4

network

and

advertise

routing

information

with

each

other

about

the

segments

the

IPv4

address

space

they

can

access

within

their

network

and

with

routers

external

networks.

BGP

allows

you

decide

what

the

“best”

route

for

packet

take

from

your

network

destination

another

network

rather

than

simply

setting

default

route

from

your

border

router(s)

your

upstream

provider(s).

BGP

defined

RFC

1771.

NE2552E

Flex

Switches

(NE2552Es)

can

advertise

their

interfaces

and

IPv4

addresses

using

BGP

and

take

BGP

feeds

from

many

BGP

router

peers.

This

allows

resilience

and

flexibility

balancing

traffic

from

the

Internet.

Note:

Lenovo

ENOS

8.4

does

not

support

IPv6

for

BGP.
