Lab 4: Configuring BGP within Service Provider

Task 1: Verify Pre-Configuration as mentioned below.

The following configuration needs to be verified

  • IP addressing for all nodes including Physical and Software Interfaces.

Task 2: Configure BGP in AS 3

Configure BGP as per requirement mentioned below:

  1. BGP AS Number for the Service provider is AS 3.
  2. IBGP neighborship to be formed between PE1 and RR1 using their Loopback 1 interface.
  3. IBGP neighborship to be formed between PE2 and RR1 using their Loopback 1 interface.
  4. Advertise Loopback 0 interfaces for PE1, RR1 & PE2.
  5. Disable all default address-family for Ipv4 and all neighbors must be enabled manually.
