***
BGP
***

:abbr:`BGP` stands for a Border Gateway Protocol. The lastest BGP version is 4.
It is referred as BGP-4. BGP-4 is one of the Exterior Gateway Protocols and
de-fact standard of Inter Domain routing protocol.  BGP-4 is described in
:rfc:`1771`.

Many extensions have been added to :rfc:`1771`. :rfc:`2858` provides
multiprotocol support to BGP-4.

.. _starting-bgp:

Starting BGP
============

Default configuration file of *bgpd* is :file:`bgpd.conf`.  *bgpd* searches the
current directory first then |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC|/bgpd.conf. All of bgpd's
command must be configured in :file:`bgpd.conf`.

*bgpd* specific invocation options are described below. Common options may also
be specified (:ref:`common-invocation-options`).

.. program:: bgpd

.. option:: -p, --bgp_port <port>

   Set the bgp protocol's port number. When port number is 0, that means do not
   listen bgp port.

.. option:: -r, --retain

   When program terminates, retain BGP routes added by zebra.

.. option:: -l, --listenon

   Specify a specific IP address for bgpd to listen on, rather than its
   default of INADDR_ANY / IN6ADDR_ANY. This can be useful to constrain bgpd
   to an internal address, or to run multiple bgpd processes on one host.


.. _bgp-router:

BGP router
==========

First of all you must configure BGP router with *router bgp* command. To
configure BGP router, you need AS number. AS number is an identification of
autonomous system. BGP protocol uses the AS number for detecting whether the
BGP connection is internal one or external one.

.. index:: router bgp ASN
.. clicmd:: router bgp ASN

   Enable a BGP protocol process with the specified ASN. After
   this statement you can input any `BGP Commands`. You can not
   create different BGP process under different ASN without
   specifying `multiple-instance` (:ref:`multiple-instance`).

.. index:: no router bgp ASN
.. clicmd:: no router bgp ASN

   Destroy a BGP protocol process with the specified ASN.

.. index:: bgp router-id A.B.C.D
.. clicmd:: bgp router-id A.B.C.D

   This command specifies the router-ID. If *bgpd* connects to *zebra* it gets
   interface and address information. In that case default router ID value is
   selected as the largest IP Address of the interfaces. When `router zebra` is
   not enabled *bgpd* can't get interface information so `router-id` is set to
   0.0.0.0. So please set router-id by hand.

.. _bgp-distance:

BGP distance
------------

.. index:: distance bgp (1-255) (1-255) (1-255)
.. clicmd:: distance bgp (1-255) (1-255) (1-255)

   This command change distance value of BGP. Each argument is distance value
   for external routes, internal routes and local routes.

.. index:: distance (1-255) A.B.C.D/M
.. clicmd:: distance (1-255) A.B.C.D/M

.. index:: distance (1-255) A.B.C.D/M word
.. clicmd:: distance (1-255) A.B.C.D/M word

.. _bgp-decision-process:

BGP decision process
--------------------

The decision process FRR BGP uses to select routes is as follows:

1. *Weight check*
   Prefer higher local weight routes to lower routes.

2. *Local preference check*
   Prefer higher local preference routes to lower.

3. *Local route check*
   Prefer local routes (statics, aggregates, redistributed) to received routes.

4. *AS path length check*
   Prefer shortest hop-count AS_PATHs.

5. *Origin check*
   Prefer the lowest origin type route. That is, prefer IGP origin routes to
   EGP, to Incomplete routes.

6. *MED check*
   Where routes with a MED were received from the same AS, prefer the route
   with the lowest MED. :ref:`bgp-med`.

7. *External check*
   Prefer the route received from an external, eBGP peer over routes received
   from other types of peers.

8. *IGP cost check*
   Prefer the route with the lower IGP cost.

9. *Multi-path check*
   If multi-pathing is enabled, then check whether the routes not yet
   distinguished in preference may be considered equal. If
   :clicmd:`bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax` is set, all such routes are
   considered equal, otherwise routes received via iBGP with identical AS_PATHs
   or routes received from eBGP neighbours in the same AS are considered equal.

10. *Already-selected external check*
    Where both routes were received from eBGP peers, then prefer the route
    which is already selected. Note that this check is not applied if
    :clicmd:`bgp bestpath compare-routerid` is configured. This check can
    prevent some cases of oscillation.

11. *Router-ID check*
    Prefer the route with the lowest `router-ID`. If the route has an
    `ORIGINATOR_ID` attribute, through iBGP reflection, then that router ID is
    used, otherwise the `router-ID` of the peer the route was received from is
    used.

12. *Cluster-List length check*
    The route with the shortest cluster-list length is used. The cluster-list
    reflects the iBGP reflection path the route has taken.

13. *Peer address*
    Prefer the route received from the peer with the higher transport layer
    address, as a last-resort tie-breaker.


.. index:: bgp bestpath as-path confed
.. clicmd:: bgp bestpath as-path confed

   This command specifies that the length of confederation path sets and
   sequences should should be taken into account during the BGP best path
   decision process.

.. index:: bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax
.. clicmd:: bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax

   This command specifies that BGP decision process should consider paths
   of equal AS_PATH length candidates for multipath computation. Without
   the knob, the entire AS_PATH must match for multipath computation.

.. clicmd:: bgp bestpath compare-routerid

   Ensure that when comparing routes where both are equal on most metrics,
   including local-pref, AS_PATH length, IGP cost, MED, that the tie is broken
   based on router-ID.

   If this option is enabled, then the already-selected check, where
   already selected eBGP routes are preferred, is skipped.

   If a route has an `ORIGINATOR_ID` attribute because it has been reflected,
   that `ORIGINATOR_ID` will be used. Otherwise, the router-ID of the peer the
   route was received from will be used.

   The advantage of this is that the route-selection (at this point) will be
   more deterministic. The disadvantage is that a few or even one lowest-ID
   router may attract all trafic to otherwise-equal paths because of this
   check. It may increase the possibility of MED or IGP oscillation, unless
   other measures were taken to avoid these. The exact behaviour will be
   sensitive to the iBGP and reflection topology.


.. _bgp-route-flap-dampening:

BGP route flap dampening
------------------------

.. clicmd:: bgp dampening (1-45) (1-20000) (1-20000) (1-255)

   This command enables BGP route-flap dampening and specifies dampening parameters.

   half-life
      Half-life time for the penalty

   reuse-threshold
      Value to start reusing a route

   suppress-threshold
      Value to start suppressing a route

   max-suppress
      Maximum duration to suppress a stable route

   The route-flap damping algorithm is compatible with :rfc:`2439`. The use of
   this command is not recommended nowadays.

.. _bgp-med:

BGP MED
=======

The BGP :abbr:`MED (Multi Exit Discriminator)` attribute has properties which
can cause subtle convergence problems in BGP. These properties and problems
have proven to be hard to understand, at least historically, and may still not
be widely understood. The following attempts to collect together and present
what is known about MED, to help operators and FRR users in designing and
configuring their networks.

The BGP :abbr:`MED` attribute is intended to allow one AS to indicate its
preferences for its ingress points to another AS. The MED attribute will not be
propagated on to another AS by the receiving AS - it is 'non-transitive' in the
BGP sense.

E.g., if AS X and AS Y have 2 different BGP peering points, then AS X might set
a MED of 100 on routes advertised at one and a MED of 200 at the other. When AS
Y selects between otherwise equal routes to or via AS X, AS Y should prefer to
take the path via the lower MED peering of 100 with AS X. Setting the MED
allows an AS to influence the routing taken to it within another, neighbouring
AS.

In this use of MED it is not really meaningful to compare the MED value on
routes where the next AS on the paths differs. E.g., if AS Y also had a route
for some destination via AS Z in addition to the routes from AS X, and AS Z had
also set a MED, it wouldn't make sense for AS Y to compare AS Z's MED values to
those of AS X. The MED values have been set by different administrators, with
different frames of reference.

The default behaviour of BGP therefore is to not compare MED values across
routes received from different neighbouring ASes. In FRR this is done by
comparing the neighbouring, left-most AS in the received AS_PATHs of the routes
and only comparing MED if those are the same.

Unfortunately, this behaviour of MED, of sometimes being compared across routes
and sometimes not, depending on the properties of those other routes, means MED
can cause the order of preference over all the routes to be undefined. That is,
given routes A, B, and C, if A is preferred to B, and B is preferred to C, then
a well-defined order should mean the preference is transitive (in the sense of
orders [#med-transitivity-rant]_) and that A would be preferred to C.

However, when MED is involved this need not be the case. With MED it is
possible that C is actually preferred over A. So A is preferred to B, B is
preferred to C, but C is preferred to A. This can be true even where BGP
defines a deterministic 'most preferred' route out of the full set of A,B,C.
With MED, for any given set of routes there may be a deterministically
preferred route, but there need not be any way to arrange them into any order
of preference. With unmodified MED, the order of preference of routes literally
becomes undefined.

That MED can induce non-transitive preferences over routes can cause issues.
Firstly, it may be perceived to cause routing table churn locally at speakers;
secondly, and more seriously, it may cause routing instability in iBGP
topologies, where sets of speakers continually oscillate between different
paths.

The first issue arises from how speakers often implement routing decisions.
Though BGP defines a selection process that will deterministically select the
same route as best at any given speaker, even with MED, that process requires
evaluating all routes together. For performance and ease of implementation
reasons, many implementations evaluate route preferences in a pair-wise fashion
instead. Given there is no well-defined order when MED is involved, the best
route that will be chosen becomes subject to implementation details, such as
the order the routes are stored in. That may be (locally) non-deterministic,
e.g.: it may be the order the routes were received in.

This indeterminism may be considered undesirable, though it need not cause
problems. It may mean additional routing churn is perceived, as sometimes more
updates may be produced than at other times in reaction to some event .

This first issue can be fixed with a more deterministic route selection that
ensures routes are ordered by the neighbouring AS during selection.
:clicmd:`bgp deterministic-med`. This may reduce the number of updates as routes
are received, and may in some cases reduce routing churn. Though, it could
equally deterministically produce the largest possible set of updates in
response to the most common sequence of received updates.

A deterministic order of evaluation tends to imply an additional overhead of
sorting over any set of n routes to a destination. The implementation of
deterministic MED in FRR scales significantly worse than most sorting
algorithms at present, with the number of paths to a given destination.  That
number is often low enough to not cause any issues, but where there are many
paths, the deterministic comparison may quickly become increasingly expensive
in terms of CPU.

Deterministic local evaluation can *not* fix the second, more major, issue of
MED however. Which is that the non-transitive preference of routes MED can
cause may lead to routing instability or oscillation across multiple speakers
in iBGP topologies. This can occur with full-mesh iBGP, but is particularly
problematic in non-full-mesh iBGP topologies that further reduce the routing
information known to each speaker. This has primarily been documented with iBGP
route-reflection topologies. However, any route-hiding technologies potentially
could also exacerbate oscillation with MED.

This second issue occurs where speakers each have only a subset of routes, and
there are cycles in the preferences between different combinations of routes -
as the undefined order of preference of MED allows - and the routes are
distributed in a way that causes the BGP speakers to 'chase' those cycles. This
can occur even if all speakers use a deterministic order of evaluation in route
selection.

E.g., speaker 4 in AS A might receive a route from speaker 2 in AS X, and from
speaker 3 in AS Y; while speaker 5 in AS A might receive that route from
speaker 1 in AS Y. AS Y might set a MED of 200 at speaker 1, and 100 at speaker
3. I.e, using ASN:ID:MED to label the speakers:

::

   .
             /---------------\\
   X:2------|--A:4-------A:5--|-Y:1:200
               Y:3:100--|-/   |
             \\---------------/



Assuming all other metrics are equal (AS_PATH, ORIGIN, 0 IGP costs), then based
on the RFC4271 decision process speaker 4 will choose X:2 over Y:3:100, based
on the lower ID of 2. Speaker 4 advertises X:2 to speaker 5.  Speaker 5 will
continue to prefer Y:1:200 based on the ID, and advertise this to speaker 4.
Speaker 4 will now have the full set of routes, and the Y:1:200 it receives
from 5 will beat X:2, but when speaker 4 compares Y:1:200 to Y:3:100 the MED
check now becomes active as the ASes match, and now Y:3:100 is preferred.
Speaker 4 therefore now advertises Y:3:100 to 5, which will also agrees that
Y:3:100 is preferred to Y:1:200, and so withdraws the latter route from 4.
Speaker 4 now has only X:2 and Y:3:100, and X:2 beats Y:3:100, and so speaker 4
implicitly updates its route to speaker 5 to X:2. Speaker 5 sees that Y:1:200
beats X:2 based on the ID, and advertises Y:1:200 to speaker 4, and the cycle
continues.

The root cause is the lack of a clear order of preference caused by how MED
sometimes is and sometimes is not compared, leading to this cycle in the
preferences between the routes:

::

   .
    /---> X:2 ---beats---> Y:3:100 --\\
   |                                   |
   |                                   |
    \\---beats--- Y:1:200 <---beats---/



This particular type of oscillation in full-mesh iBGP topologies can  be
avoided by speakers preferring already selected, external routes rather than
choosing to update to new a route based on a post-MED metric (e.g.  router-ID),
at the cost of a non-deterministic selection process. FRR implements this, as
do many other implementations, so long as it is not overridden by setting
:clicmd:`bgp bestpath compare-routerid`, and see also
:ref:`bgp-decision-process`.

However, more complex and insidious cycles of oscillation are possible with
iBGP route-reflection, which are not so easily avoided. These have been
documented in various places. See, e.g.:

- [bgp-route-osci-cond]_
- [stable-flexible-ibgp]_
- [ibgp-correctness]_

for concrete examples and further references.

There is as of this writing *no* known way to use MED for its original purpose;
*and* reduce routing information in iBGP topologies; *and* be sure to avoid the
instability problems of MED due the non-transitive routing preferences it can
induce; in general on arbitrary networks.

There may be iBGP topology specific ways to reduce the instability risks, even
while using MED, e.g.: by constraining the reflection topology and by tuning
IGP costs between route-reflector clusters, see :rfc:`3345` for details.  In the
near future, the Add-Path extension to BGP may also solve MED oscillation while
still allowing MED to be used as intended, by distributing "best-paths per
neighbour AS". This would be at the cost of distributing at least as many
routes to all speakers as a full-mesh iBGP would, if not more, while also
imposing similar CPU overheads as the "Deterministic MED" feature at each
Add-Path reflector.

More generally, the instability problems that MED can introduce on more
complex, non-full-mesh, iBGP topologies may be avoided either by:

- Setting :clicmd:`bgp always-compare-med`, however this allows MED to be compared
  across values set by different neighbour ASes, which may not produce
  coherent desirable results, of itself.
- Effectively ignoring MED by setting MED to the same value (e.g.: 0) using
  :clicmd:`set metric METRIC` on all received routes, in combination with
  setting :clicmd:`bgp always-compare-med` on all speakers. This is the simplest
  and most performant way to avoid MED oscillation issues, where an AS is happy
  not to allow neighbours to inject this problematic metric.

As MED is evaluated after the AS_PATH length check, another possible use for
MED is for intra-AS steering of routes with equal AS_PATH length, as an
extension of the last case above. As MED is evaluated before IGP metric, this
can allow cold-potato routing to be implemented to send traffic to preferred
hand-offs with neighbours, rather than the closest hand-off according to the
IGP metric.

Note that even if action is taken to address the MED non-transitivity issues,
other oscillations may still be possible. E.g., on IGP cost if iBGP and IGP
topologies are at cross-purposes with each other - see the Flavel and Roughan
paper above for an example. Hence the guideline that the iBGP topology should
follow the IGP topology.

.. index:: bgp deterministic-med
.. clicmd:: bgp deterministic-med

   Carry out route-selection in way that produces deterministic answers
   locally, even in the face of MED and the lack of a well-defined order of
   preference it can induce on routes. Without this option the preferred route
   with MED may be determined largely by the order that routes were received
   in.

   Setting this option will have a performance cost that may be noticeable when
   there are many routes for each destination. Currently in FRR it is
   implemented in a way that scales poorly as the number of routes per
   destination increases.

   The default is that this option is not set.

Note that there are other sources of indeterminism in the route selection
process, specifically, the preference for older and already selected routes
from eBGP peers, :ref:`bgp-decision-process`.

.. index:: bgp always-compare-med
.. clicmd:: bgp always-compare-med

   Always compare the MED on routes, even when they were received from
   different neighbouring ASes. Setting this option makes the order of
   preference of routes more defined, and should eliminate MED induced
   oscillations.

   If using this option, it may also be desirable to use
   :clicmd:`set metric METRIC` to set MED to 0 on routes received from external
   neighbours.

   This option can be used, together with :clicmd:`set metric METRIC` to use
   MED as an intra-AS metric to steer equal-length AS_PATH routes to, e.g.,
   desired exit points.

.. _bgp-network:

BGP network
===========


.. _bgp-route:

BGP route
---------

.. index:: network A.B.C.D/M
.. clicmd:: network A.B.C.D/M

   This command adds the announcement network.::

     router bgp 1
      address-family ipv4 unicast
       network 10.0.0.0/8
      exit-address-family

   This configuration example says that network 10.0.0.0/8 will be
   announced to all neighbors. Some vendors' routers don't advertise
   routes if they aren't present in their IGP routing tables; `bgpd`
   doesn't care about IGP routes when announcing its routes.

.. index:: no network A.B.C.D/M
.. clicmd:: no network A.B.C.D/M


.. _route-aggregation:

Route Aggregation
-----------------

.. index:: aggregate-address A.B.C.D/M
.. clicmd:: aggregate-address A.B.C.D/M

   This command specifies an aggregate address.

.. index:: aggregate-address A.B.C.D/M as-set
.. clicmd:: aggregate-address A.B.C.D/M as-set

   This command specifies an aggregate address. Resulting routes include
   AS set.

.. index:: aggregate-address A.B.C.D/M summary-only
.. clicmd:: aggregate-address A.B.C.D/M summary-only

   This command specifies an aggregate address. Aggreated routes will
   not be announce.

.. index:: no aggregate-address A.B.C.D/M
.. clicmd:: no aggregate-address A.B.C.D/M



.. _redistribute-to-bgp:

Redistribute to BGP
-------------------

.. index:: redistribute kernel
.. clicmd:: redistribute kernel

   Redistribute kernel route to BGP process.

.. index:: redistribute static
.. clicmd:: redistribute static

   Redistribute static route to BGP process.

   Redistribute VNC routes to BGP process.

.. index:: update-delay MAX-DELAY
.. clicmd:: update-delay MAX-DELAY

.. index:: update-delay MAX-DELAY ESTABLISH-WAIT
.. clicmd:: update-delay MAX-DELAY ESTABLISH-WAIT

   This feature is used to enable read-only mode on BGP process restart or when
   BGP process is cleared using 'clear ip bgp \*'. When applicable, read-only
   mode would begin as soon as the first peer reaches Established status and a
   timer for max-delay seconds is started.

   During this mode BGP doesn't run any best-path or generate any updates to its
   peers. This mode continues until:

   1. All the configured peers, except the shutdown peers, have sent explicit EOR
      (End-Of-RIB) or an implicit-EOR. The first keep-alive after BGP has reached
      Established is considered an implicit-EOR.
      If the establish-wait optional value is given, then BGP will wait for
      peers to reach established from the begining of the update-delay till the
      establish-wait period is over, i.e. the minimum set of established peers for
      which EOR is expected would be peers established during the establish-wait
      window, not necessarily all the configured neighbors.
   2. max-delay period is over.

   On hitting any of the above two conditions, BGP resumes the decision process
   and generates updates to its peers.

   Default max-delay is 0, i.e. the feature is off by default.

.. index:: table-map ROUTE-MAP-NAME
.. clicmd:: table-map ROUTE-MAP-NAME

   This feature is used to apply a route-map on route updates from BGP to
   Zebra.  All the applicable match operations are allowed, such as match on
   prefix, next-hop, communities, etc. Set operations for this attach-point are
   limited to metric and next-hop only. Any operation of this feature does not
   affect BGPs internal RIB.

   Supported for ipv4 and ipv6 address families. It works on multi-paths as
   well, however, metric setting is based on the best-path only.

.. _bgp-peer:

BGP Peer
========

.. _defining-peer:

Defining Peer
-------------

.. index:: neighbor PEER remote-as ASN
.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER remote-as ASN

   Creates a new neighbor whose remote-as is ASN. PEER can be an IPv4 address
   or an IPv6 address or an interface to use for the connection.::

      router bgp 1
       neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 2

   In this case my router, in AS-1, is trying to peer with AS-2 at 10.0.0.1.

   This command must be the first command used when configuring a neighbor.  If
   the remote-as is not specified, *bgpd* will complain like this:::

      can't find neighbor 10.0.0.1

.. index:: neighbor PEER remote-as internal
.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER remote-as internal

   Create a peer as you would when you specify an ASN, except that if the
   peers ASN is different than mine as specified under the :clicmd:`router bgp ASN`
   command the connection will be denied.

.. index:: neighbor PEER remote-as external
.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER remote-as external

   Create a peer as you would when you specify an ASN, except that if the
   peers ASN is the same as mine as specified under the :clicmd:`router bgp ASN`
   command the connection will be denied.

.. _bgp-peer-commands:

BGP Peer commands
-----------------

In a `router bgp` clause there are neighbor specific configurations
required.

.. index:: neighbor PEER shutdown
.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER shutdown

.. index:: no neighbor PEER shutdown
.. clicmd:: no neighbor PEER shutdown

   Shutdown the peer. We can delete the neighbor's configuration by
   ``no neighbor PEER remote-as ASN`` but all configuration of the neighbor
   will be deleted. When you want to preserve the configuration, but want to
   drop the BGP peer, use this syntax.

.. index:: neighbor PEER ebgp-multihop
.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER ebgp-multihop

.. index:: no neighbor PEER ebgp-multihop
.. clicmd:: no neighbor PEER ebgp-multihop


.. index:: neighbor PEER description ...
.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER description ...


.. index:: no neighbor PEER description ...
.. clicmd:: no neighbor PEER description ...

   Set description of the peer.

.. index:: neighbor PEER version VERSION
.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER version VERSION

   Set up the neighbor's BGP version. `version` can be `4`, `4+` or `4-`. BGP
   version `4` is the default value used for BGP peering. BGP version `4+`
   means that the neighbor supports Multiprotocol Extensions for BGP-4. BGP
   version `4-` is similar but the neighbor speaks the old Internet-Draft
   revision 00's Multiprotocol Extensions for BGP-4. Some routing software is
   still using this version.

.. index:: neighbor PEER interface IFNAME
.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER interface IFNAME


.. index:: no neighbor PEER interface IFNAME
.. clicmd:: no neighbor PEER interface IFNAME

   When you connect to a BGP peer over an IPv6 link-local address, you have to
   specify the IFNAME of the interface used for the connection. To specify
   IPv4 session addresses, see the ``neighbor PEER update-source`` command
   below.

   This command is deprecated and may be removed in a future release. Its use
   should be avoided.

.. index:: neighbor PEER next-hop-self [all]
.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER next-hop-self [all]


.. index:: no neighbor PEER next-hop-self [all]
.. clicmd:: no neighbor PEER next-hop-self [all]

   This command specifies an announced route's nexthop as being equivalent to
   the address of the bgp router if it is learned via eBGP.  If the optional
   keyword `all` is specified the modifiation is done also for routes learned
   via iBGP.

.. index:: neighbor PEER update-source <IFNAME|ADDRESS>
.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER update-source <IFNAME|ADDRESS>


.. index:: no neighbor PEER update-source
.. clicmd:: no neighbor PEER update-source

   Specify the IPv4 source address to use for the :abbr:`BGP` session to this
   neighbour, may be specified as either an IPv4 address directly or as an
   interface name (in which case the *zebra* daemon MUST be running in order
   for *bgpd* to be able to retrieve interface state).::

      router bgp 64555
       neighbor foo update-source 192.168.0.1
       neighbor bar update-source lo0


.. index:: neighbor PEER default-originate
.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER default-originate

.. index:: no neighbor PEER default-originate
.. clicmd:: no neighbor PEER default-originate

   *bgpd*'s default is to not announce the default route (0.0.0.0/0) even if it
   is in routing table. When you want to announce default routes to the peer,
   use this command.

.. index:: neighbor PEER port PORT
.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER port PORT

.. index:: no neighbor PEER local-as
.. clicmd:: no neighbor PEER local-as

   Specify an alternate AS for this BGP process when interacting with the
   specified peer. With no modifiers, the specified local-as is prepended to
   the received AS_PATH when receiving routing updates from the peer, and
   prepended to the outgoing AS_PATH (after the process local AS) when
   transmitting local routes to the peer.

   If the no-prepend attribute is specified, then the supplied local-as is not
   prepended to the received AS_PATH.

   If the replace-as attribute is specified, then only the supplied local-as is
   prepended to the AS_PATH when transmitting local-route updates to this peer.

   Note that replace-as can only be specified if no-prepend is.

   This command is only allowed for eBGP peers.

.. index:: neighbor PEER ttl-security hops NUMBER
.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER ttl-security hops NUMBER


.. index:: no neighbor PEER ttl-security hops NUMBER
.. clicmd:: no neighbor PEER ttl-security hops NUMBER

   This command enforces Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM), as
   specified in RFC 5082. With this command, only neighbors that are the
   specified number of hops away will be allowed to become neighbors. This
   command is mututally exclusive with *ebgp-multihop*.

.. _peer-filtering:

Peer filtering
--------------

.. index:: neighbor PEER distribute-list NAME [in|out]
.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER distribute-list NAME [in|out]

   Apply a route-map on the neighbor. `direct` must be `in` or `out`.

.. index:: bgp route-reflector allow-outbound-policy
.. clicmd:: bgp route-reflector allow-outbound-policy

   By default, attribute modification via route-map policy out is not reflected
   on reflected routes. This option allows the modifications to be reflected as
   well. Once enabled, it affects all reflected routes.

.. _bgp-peer-group:

BGP Peer Group
==============

   This command bind specific peer to peer group WORD.

.. _bgp-address-family:

BGP Address Family
==================

Multiprotocol BGP enables BGP to carry routing information for multiple Network
Layer protocols. BGP supports multiple Address Family Identifier (AFI), namely
IPv4 and IPv6. Support is also provided for multiple sets of per-AFI
information via Subsequent Address Family Identifiers (SAFI). In addition to
unicast information, VPN information :rfc:`4364` and :rfc:`4659`, and
Encapsulation attribute :rfc:`5512` is supported.

.. index:: show ip bgp ipv4 vpn

   Print a summary of neighbor connections for the specified AFI/SAFI combination.

.. _autonomous-system:

Autonomous System
=================

The :abbr:`AS (Autonomous System)` number is one of the essential element of
BGP. BGP is a distance vector routing protocol, and the AS-Path framework
provides distance vector metric and loop detection to BGP. :rfc:`1930` provides
some background on the concepts of an AS.

The AS number is a two octet value, ranging in value from 1 to 65535. The AS
numbers 64512 through 65535 are defined as private AS numbers. Private AS
numbers must not to be advertised in the global Internet.

.. _display-bgp-routes-by-as-path:

Display BGP Routes by AS Path
-----------------------------

To show BGP routes which has specific AS path information `show ip bgp` command
can be used.

Private AS Numbers
------------------

.. _bgp-communities-attribute:

BGP Communities Attribute
=========================

BGP communities attribute is widely used for implementing policy routing.
Network operators can manipulate BGP communities attribute based on their
network policy. BGP communities attribute is defined in :rfc:`1997` and
:rfc:`1998`. It is an optional transitive attribute, therefore local policy can
travel through different autonomous system.

Communities attribute is a set of communities values. Each communities value is
4 octet long. The following format is used to define communities value.


AS:VAL
   This format represents 4 octet communities value. ``AS`` is high order 2
   octet in digit format. ``VAL`` is low order 2 octet in digit format. This
   format is useful to define AS oriented policy value. For example,
   ``7675:80`` can be used when AS 7675 wants to pass local policy value 80 to
   neighboring peer.

internet
   `internet` represents well-known communities value 0.

no-export
   ``no-export`` represents well-known communities value ``NO_EXPORT``
   ``0xFFFFFF01``. All routes carry this value must not be advertised to
   outside a BGP confederation boundary. If neighboring BGP peer is part of BGP
   confederation, the peer is considered as inside a BGP confederation
   boundary, so the route will be announced to the peer.

no-advertise
   ``no-advertise`` represents well-known communities value ``NO_ADVERTISE``
   ``0xFFFFFF02``. All routes carry this value must not be advertise to other
   BGP peers.

local-AS
   ``local-AS`` represents well-known communities value ``NO_EXPORT_SUBCONFED``
   ``0xFFFFFF03``. All routes carry this value must not be advertised to
   external BGP peers. Even if the neighboring router is part of confederation,
   it is considered as external BGP peer, so the route will not be announced to
   the peer.

When BGP communities attribute is received, duplicated communities value in the
communities attribute is ignored and each communities values are sorted in
numerical order.

.. _bgp-community-lists:

BGP Community Lists
-------------------

BGP community list is a user defined BGP communites attribute list. BGP
community list can be used for matching or manipulating BGP communities
attribute in updates.

There are two types of community list. One is standard community list and
another is expanded community list. Standard community list defines communities
attribute. Expanded community list defines communities attribute string with
regular expression. Standard community list is compiled into binary format when
user define it. Standard community list will be directly compared to BGP
communities attribute in BGP updates. Therefore the comparison is faster than
expanded community list.

.. index:: ip community-list standard NAME permit|deny COMMUNITY
.. clicmd:: ip community-list standard NAME permit|deny COMMUNITY

   This command defines a new standard community list. COMUNITY is
   communities value. The COMUNITY is compiled into community structure. We
   can define multiple community list under same name. In that case match will
   happen user defined order. Once the community list matches to communities
   attribute in BGP updates it return permit or deny by the community list
   definition. When there is no matched entry, deny will be returned. When
   COMUNITY is empty it matches to any routes.

.. index:: ip community-list expanded NAME permit|deny LINE
.. clicmd:: ip community-list expanded NAME permit|deny LINE

   This command defines a new expanded community list. COMUNITY is a
   string expression of communities attribute. COMUNITY can be a
   regular expression (:ref:`bgp-regular-expressions`) to match
   the communities attribute in BGP updates.

.. index:: no ip community-list NAME
.. clicmd:: no ip community-list NAME

.. index:: no ip community-list standard NAME
.. clicmd:: no ip community-list standard NAME

.. index:: no ip community-list expanded NAME
.. clicmd:: no ip community-list expanded NAME

   These commands delete community lists specified by NAME. All of
   community lists shares a single name space. So community lists can be
   removed simpley specifying community lists name.

.. index:: show ip community-list
.. clicmd:: show ip community-list

.. index:: show ip community-list NAME
.. clicmd:: show ip community-list NAME

   This command displays current community list information. When NAME is
   specified the specified community list's information is shown.

   ::

       # show ip community-list
       Named Community standard list CLIST
       permit 7675:80 7675:100 no-export
       deny internet
         Named Community expanded list EXPAND
       permit :

         # show ip community-list CLIST
         Named Community standard list CLIST
       permit 7675:80 7675:100 no-export
       deny internet


.. _numbered-bgp-community-lists:

Numbered BGP Community Lists
----------------------------

When number is used for BGP community list name, the number has
special meanings. Community list number in the range from 1 and 99 is
standard community list. Community list number in the range from 100
to 199 is expanded community list. These community lists are called
as numbered community lists. On the other hand normal community lists
is called as named community lists.

.. index:: ip community-list (1-99) permit|deny COMMUNITY
.. clicmd:: ip community-list (1-99) permit|deny COMMUNITY

   This command defines a new community list. (1-99) is standard
   community list number. Community list name within this range defines
   standard community list. When `community` is empty it matches to
   any routes.

.. index:: ip community-list (100-199) permit|deny COMMUNITY
.. clicmd:: ip community-list (100-199) permit|deny COMMUNITY

   This command defines a new community list. (100-199) is expanded
   community list number. Community list name within this range defines
   expanded community list.

.. index:: ip community-list NAME permit|deny COMMUNITY
.. clicmd:: ip community-list NAME permit|deny COMMUNITY

   When community list type is not specifed, the community list type is
   automatically detected. If COMMUNITY can be compiled into communities
   attribute, the community list is defined as a standard community list.
   Otherwise it is defined as an expanded community list. This feature is left
   for backward compability. Use of this feature is not recommended.

.. _bgp-community-in-route-map:

BGP Community in Route Map
--------------------------

In Route Map (:ref:`route-map`), we can match or set BGP
communities attribute. Using this feature network operator can
implement their network policy based on BGP communities attribute.

Following commands can be used in Route Map.

.. index:: match community WORD
.. clicmd:: match community WORD

.. index:: match community WORD exact-match
.. clicmd:: match community WORD exact-match

   This command perform match to BGP updates using community list WORD. When
   the one of BGP communities value match to the one of communities value in
   community list, it is match. When `exact-match` keyword is spcified, match
   happen only when BGP updates have completely same communities value
   specified in the community list.

.. index:: set community none
.. clicmd:: set community none

.. index:: set community COMMUNITY
.. clicmd:: set community COMMUNITY

.. index:: set community COMMUNITY additive
.. clicmd:: set community COMMUNITY additive

   This command manipulate communities value in BGP updates. When
   `none` is specified as communities value, it removes entire
   communities attribute from BGP updates. When `community` is not
   `none`, specified communities value is set to BGP updates. If
   BGP updates already has BGP communities value, the existing BGP
   communities value is replaced with specified `community` value.
   When `additive` keyword is specified, `community` is appended
   to the existing communities value.

.. index:: set comm-list WORD delete
.. clicmd:: set comm-list WORD delete

   This command remove communities value from BGP communities attribute.
   The `word` is community list name. When BGP route's communities
   value matches to the community list `word`, the communities value
   is removed. When all of communities value is removed eventually, the
   BGP update's communities attribute is completely removed.

.. _display-bgp-routes-by-community:

Display BGP Routes by Community
-------------------------------

To show BGP routes which has specific BGP communities attribute,
`show bgp {ipv4|ipv6}` command can be used. The
`community` and `community-list` subcommand can be used.

.. index:: show bgp ipv4|ipv6 community
.. clicmd:: show bgp ipv4|ipv6 community

.. index:: show bgp ipv4|ipv6 community COMMUNITY
.. clicmd:: show bgp ipv4|ipv6 community COMMUNITY

.. index:: show bgp ipv4|ipv6 community COMMUNITY exact-match
.. clicmd:: show bgp ipv4|ipv6 community COMMUNITY exact-match

   `show bgp {ipv4|ipv6} community` displays BGP routes which has communities
   attribute. Where the address family can be IPv4 or IPv6 among others. When
   `community` is specified, BGP routes that matches `community` value is
   displayed. For this command, `internet` keyword can't be used for
   `community` value. When `exact-match` is specified, it display only
   routes that have an exact match.

.. index:: show bgp ipv4|ipv6 community-list WORD
.. clicmd:: show bgp ipv4|ipv6 community-list WORD

.. index:: show bgp ipv4|ipv6 community-list WORD exact-match
.. clicmd:: show bgp ipv4|ipv6 community-list WORD exact-match

   This commands display BGP routes for the address family specified that matches
   community list `word`. When `exact-match` is specified, display only
   routes that have an exact match.

.. _using-bgp-communities-attribute:

Using BGP Communities Attribute
-------------------------------

Following configuration is the most typical usage of BGP communities
attribute. AS 7675 provides upstream Internet connection to AS 100.
When following configuration exists in AS 7675, AS 100 networks
operator can set local preference in AS 7675 network by setting BGP
communities attribute to the updates.::

   router bgp 7675
    neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 100
    address-family ipv4 unicast
     neighbor 192.168.0.1 route-map RMAP in
    exit-address-family
   !
   ip community-list 70 permit 7675:70
   ip community-list 70 deny
   ip community-list 80 permit 7675:80
   ip community-list 80 deny
   ip community-list 90 permit 7675:90
   ip community-list 90 deny
   !
   route-map RMAP permit 10
    match community 70
    set local-preference 70
   !
   route-map RMAP permit 20
    match community 80
    set local-preference 80
   !
   route-map RMAP permit 30
    match community 90
    set local-preference 90


Following configuration announce 10.0.0.0/8 from AS 100 to AS 7675.
The route has communities value 7675:80 so when above configuration
exists in AS 7675, announced route's local preference will be set to
value 80.::

   router bgp 100
    network 10.0.0.0/8
    neighbor 192.168.0.2 remote-as 7675
    address-family ipv4 unicast
     neighbor 192.168.0.2 route-map RMAP out
    exit-address-family
   !
   ip prefix-list PLIST permit 10.0.0.0/8
   !
   route-map RMAP permit 10
    match ip address prefix-list PLIST
    set community 7675:80


Following configuration is an example of BGP route filtering using
communities attribute. This configuration only permit BGP routes
which has BGP communities value 0:80 or 0:90. Network operator can
put special internal communities value at BGP border router, then
limit the BGP routes announcement into the internal network.::

   router bgp 7675
    neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 100
    address-family ipv4 unicast
     neighbor 192.168.0.1 route-map RMAP in
    exit-address-family
   !
   ip community-list 1 permit 0:80 0:90
   !
   route-map RMAP permit in
    match community 1


Following exmaple filter BGP routes which has communities value 1:1.
When there is no match community-list returns deny. To avoid
filtering all of routes, we need to define permit any at last.::

   router bgp 7675
    neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 100
    address-family ipv4 unicast
     neighbor 192.168.0.1 route-map RMAP in
    exit-address-family
   !
   ip community-list standard FILTER deny 1:1
   ip community-list standard FILTER permit
   !
   route-map RMAP permit 10
    match community FILTER


Communities value keyword `internet` has special meanings in
standard community lists. In below example `internet` act as
match any. It matches all of BGP routes even if the route does not
have communities attribute at all. So community list ``INTERNET``
is same as above example's ``FILTER``.::

   ip community-list standard INTERNET deny 1:1
   ip community-list standard INTERNET permit internet


Following configuration is an example of communities value deletion.
With this configuration communities value 100:1 and 100:2 is removed
from BGP updates. For communities value deletion, only `permit`
community-list is used. `deny` community-list is ignored.::

   router bgp 7675
    neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 100
    address-family ipv4 unicast
     neighbor 192.168.0.1 route-map RMAP in
    exit-address-family
   !
   ip community-list standard DEL permit 100:1 100:2
   !
   route-map RMAP permit 10
    set comm-list DEL delete


.. _bgp-extended-communities-attribute:

BGP Extended Communities Attribute
==================================

BGP extended communities attribute is introduced with MPLS VPN/BGP technology.
MPLS VPN/BGP expands capability of network infrastructure to provide VPN
functionality. At the same time it requires a new framework for policy routing.
With BGP Extended Communities Attribute we can use Route Target or Site of
Origin for implementing network policy for MPLS VPN/BGP.

BGP Extended Communities Attribute is similar to BGP Communities Attribute. It
is an optional transitive attribute. BGP Extended Communities Attribute can
carry multiple Extended Community value.  Each Extended Community value is
eight octet length.

BGP Extended Communities Attribute provides an extended range compared with BGP
Communities Attribute. Adding to that there is a type field in each value to
provides community space structure.

There are two format to define Extended Community value. One is AS based format
the other is IP address based format.

*AS:VAL*
   This is a format to define AS based Extended Community value.
   `AS` part is 2 octets Global Administrator subfield in Extended
   Community value. `VAL` part is 4 octets Local Administrator
   subfield. `7675:100` represents AS 7675 policy value 100.

*IP-Address:VAL*
   This is a format to define IP address based Extended Community value.
   `IP-Address` part is 4 octets Global Administrator subfield.
   `VAL` part is 2 octets Local Administrator subfield.
   `10.0.0.1:100` represents

.. _bgp-extended-community-lists:

BGP Extended Community Lists
----------------------------

Expanded Community Lists is a user defined BGP Expanded Community
Lists.

.. index:: ip extcommunity-list standard NAME permit|deny EXTCOMMUNITY
.. clicmd:: ip extcommunity-list standard NAME permit|deny EXTCOMMUNITY

   This command defines a new standard extcommunity-list. `extcommunity` is
   extended communities value. The `extcommunity` is compiled into extended
   community structure. We can define multiple extcommunity-list under same
   name. In that case match will happen user defined order. Once the
   extcommunity-list matches to extended communities attribute in BGP updates
   it return permit or deny based upon the extcommunity-list definition. When
   there is no matched entry, deny will be returned. When `extcommunity` is
   empty it matches to any routes.

.. index:: ip extcommunity-list expanded NAME permit|deny LINE
.. clicmd:: ip extcommunity-list expanded NAME permit|deny LINE

   This command defines a new expanded extcommunity-list. `line` is a string
   expression of extended communities attribute. `line` can be a regular
   expression (:ref:`bgp-regular-expressions`) to match an extended communities
   attribute in BGP updates.

.. index:: no ip extcommunity-list NAME
.. clicmd:: no ip extcommunity-list NAME

.. index:: no ip extcommunity-list standard NAME
.. clicmd:: no ip extcommunity-list standard NAME

.. index:: no ip extcommunity-list expanded NAME
.. clicmd:: no ip extcommunity-list expanded NAME

   These commands delete extended community lists specified by `name`. All of
   extended community lists shares a single name space. So extended community
   lists can be removed simpley specifying the name.

.. index:: show ip extcommunity-list
.. clicmd:: show ip extcommunity-list

.. index:: show ip extcommunity-list NAME
.. clicmd:: show ip extcommunity-list NAME

   This command displays current extcommunity-list information. When `name` is
   specified the community list's information is shown.

::

    # show ip extcommunity-list

BGP Extended Communities in Route Map
-------------------------------------

.. index:: match extcommunity WORD
.. clicmd:: match extcommunity WORD


.. index:: set extcommunity rt EXTCOMMUNITY
.. clicmd:: set extcommunity rt EXTCOMMUNITY

   This command set Route Target value.

.. index:: set extcommunity soo EXTCOMMUNITY
.. clicmd:: set extcommunity soo EXTCOMMUNITY

   This command set Site of Origin value.

.. _bgp-large-communities-attribute:

BGP Large Communities Attribute
===============================

The BGP Large Communities attribute was introduced in Feb 2017 with
:rfc:`8092`.

The BGP Large Communities Attribute is similar to the BGP Communities
Attribute except that it has 3 components instead of two and each of
which are 4 octets in length. Large Communities bring additional
functionality and convenience over traditional communities, specifically
the fact that the `GLOBAL` part below is now 4 octets wide allowing
AS4 operators seamless use.


*GLOBAL:LOCAL1:LOCAL2*
   This is the format to define Large Community values. Referencing
   :t:`RFC8195, Use of BGP Large Communities` the values are commonly
   referred to as follows.
   The `GLOBAL` part is a 4 octet Global Administrator field, common
   use of this field is the operators AS number.
   The `LOCAL1` part is a 4 octet Local Data Part 1 subfield referred
   to as a function.
   The `LOCAL2` part is a 4 octet Local Data Part 2 field and referred
   to as the parameter subfield. `65551:1:10` represents AS 65551
   function 1 and parameter 10.
   The referenced RFC above gives some guidelines on recommended usage.

.. _bgp-large-community-lists:

BGP Large Community Lists
-------------------------

Two types of large community lists are supported, namely `standard` and
`expanded`.

.. index:: ip large-community-list standard NAME permit|deny LARGE-COMMUNITY
.. clicmd:: ip large-community-list standard NAME permit|deny LARGE-COMMUNITY

   This command defines a new standard large-community-list.  `large-community`
   is the Large Community value. We can add multiple large communities under
   same name. In that case the match will happen in the user defined order.
   Once the large-community-list matches the Large Communities attribute in BGP
   updates it will return permit or deny based upon the large-community-list
   definition. When there is no matched entry, a deny will be returned. When
   `large-community` is empty it matches any routes.

.. index:: ip large-community-list expanded NAME permit|deny LINE
.. clicmd:: ip large-community-list expanded NAME permit|deny LINE

   This command defines a new expanded large-community-list. Where `line` is a
   string matching expression, it will be compared to the entire Large
   Communities attribute as a string, with each large-community in order from
   lowest to highest.  `line` can also be a regular expression which matches
   this Large Community attribute.

.. index:: no ip large-community-list NAME
.. clicmd:: no ip large-community-list NAME

.. index:: no ip large-community-list standard NAME
.. clicmd:: no ip large-community-list standard NAME

.. index:: no ip large-community-list expanded NAME
.. clicmd:: no ip large-community-list expanded NAME

   These commands delete Large Community lists specified by `name`. All Large
   Community lists share a single namespace.  This means Large Community lists
   can be removed by simply specifying the name.

.. index:: show ip large-community-list
.. clicmd:: show ip large-community-list

.. index:: show ip large-community-list NAME
.. clicmd:: show ip large-community-list NAME

   This command display current large-community-list information. When
   `name` is specified the community list information is shown.

.. index:: show ip bgp large-community-info
.. clicmd:: show ip bgp large-community-info

   This command displays the current large communities in use.

.. _bgp-large-communities-in-route-map:

BGP Large Communities in Route Map
----------------------------------

.. index:: match large-community LINE
.. clicmd:: match large-community LINE

   Where `line` can be a simple string to match, or a regular expression. It
   is very important to note that this match occurs on the entire
   large-community string as a whole, where each large-community is ordered
   from lowest to highest.

.. index:: set large-community LARGE-COMMUNITY
.. clicmd:: set large-community LARGE-COMMUNITY

.. index:: set large-community LARGE-COMMUNITY LARGE-COMMUNITY
.. clicmd:: set large-community LARGE-COMMUNITY LARGE-COMMUNITY

.. index:: set large-community LARGE-COMMUNITY additive
.. clicmd:: set large-community LARGE-COMMUNITY additive

   These commands are used for setting large-community values. The first
   command will overwrite any large-communities currently present.
   The second specifies two large-communities, which overwrites the current
   large-community list. The third will add a large-community value without
   overwriting other values. Multiple large-community values can be specified.


.. _bgp-vrfs:

BGP VRFs
========

Bgpd supports multiple VRF instances via the *router bgp* command:

.. index:: router bgp ASN vrf VRFNAME
.. clicmd:: router bgp ASN vrf VRFNAME

VRFNAME is matched against VRFs configured in the kernel. When no *vrf VRFNAME*
is specified, the BGP protocol process belongs to the default VRF.

BGP routes may be leaked (i.e., copied) between a unicast VRF RIB and the VPN
safi RIB of the default VRF (leaking is also permitted between the unicast RIB
of the default VRF and VPN).  A common application of this feature is to
connect a customer's private routing domain to a provider's VPN service.
Leaking is configured from the point of view of an individual VRF: ``import``
refers to routes leaked from VPN to a unicast VRF, whereas ``export`` refers to
routes leaked from a unicast VRF to VPN.

Required Parameters
-------------------

Routes exported from a unicast VRF to the VPN RIB must be augmented by two
parameters:

- an :abbr:`RD (Route Distinguisher)`
- an :abbr:`RTLIST (Route-target List)`

Configuration for these exported routes must, at a minimum, specify these two
parameters.

Routes imported from the VPN RIB to a unicast VRF are selected according to
their RTLISTs.  Routes whose RTLIST contains at least one route-target in
common with the configured import RTLIST are leaked.  Configuration for these
imported routes must specify an RTLIST to be matched.

The RD, which carries no semantic value, is intended to make the route unique
in the VPN RIB among all routes of its prefix that originate from all the
customers and sites that are attached to the provider's VPN service.
Accordingly, each site of each customer is typically assigned an RD that is
unique across the entire provider network.

The RTLIST is a set of route-target extended community values whose purpose is
to specify route-leaking policy. Typically, a customer is assigned a single
route-target value for import and export to be used at all customer sites. This
configuration specifies a simple topology wherein a customer has a single
routing domain which is shared across all its sites. More complex routing
topologies are possible through use of additional route-targets to augment the
leaking of sets of routes in various ways.

Configuration
-------------

Configuration of route leaking between a unicast VRF RIB and the VPN safi RIB
of the default VRF is accomplished via commands in the context of a VRF
address-family:

.. index:: rd vpn export AS:NN|IP:nn
.. clicmd:: rd vpn export AS:NN|IP:nn

   Specifies the route distinguisher to be added to a route exported from the
   current unicast VRF to VPN.

.. index:: no rd vpn export [AS:NN|IP:nn]
.. clicmd:: no rd vpn export [AS:NN|IP:nn]

   Deletes any previously-configured export route distinguisher.

.. index:: rt vpn import|export|both RTLIST...
.. clicmd:: rt vpn import|export|both RTLIST...

   Specifies the route-target list to be attached to a route (export) or the
   route-target list to match against (import) when exporting/importing between
   the current unicast VRF and VPN.

   The RTLIST is a space-separated list of route-targets, which are BGP
   extended community values as described in
   :ref:`bgp-extended-communities-attribute`.

.. index:: no rt vpn import|export|both [RTLIST...]
.. clicmd:: no rt vpn import|export|both [RTLIST...]

   Deletes any previously-configured import or export route-target list.

   Deletes any previously-configured export label.

.. index:: nexthop vpn export A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X
.. clicmd:: nexthop vpn export A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X

   Specifies an optional nexthop value to be assigned to a route exported from
   the current unicast VRF to VPN. If left unspecified, the nexthop will be set
   to 0.0.0.0 or 0:0::0:0 (self).

.. index:: no nexthop vpn export [A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X]
.. clicmd:: no nexthop vpn export [A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X]

   Deletes any previously-configured export nexthop.

.. index:: route-map vpn import|export MAP

.. clicmd:: no route-map vpn import|export [MAP]

   Deletes any previously-configured import or export route-map.

.. index:: import|export vpn
.. clicmd:: import|export vpn

   Enables import or export of routes betwen the current unicast VRF and VPN.

.. _capability-negotiation:

Capability Negotiation
======================

When adding IPv6 routing information exchange feature to BGP. There were some
proposals. :abbr:`IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)`
:abbr:`IDR (Inter Domain Routing)` adopted a proposal called Multiprotocol
Extension for BGP. The specification is described in :rfc:`2283`. The protocol
does not define new protocols. It defines new attributes to existing BGP. When
it is used exchanging IPv6 routing information it is called BGP-4+. When it is
used for exchanging multicast routing information it is called MBGP.

*bgpd* supports Multiprotocol Extension for BGP. So if a remote peer supports
the protocol, *bgpd* can exchange IPv6 and/or multicast routing information.

Traditional BGP did not have the feature to detect a remote peer's
capabilities, e.g. whether it can handle prefix types other than IPv4 unicast
routes. This was a big problem using Multiprotocol Extension for BGP in an
operational network. :rfc:`2842` adopted a feature called Capability
Negotiation. *bgpd* use this Capability Negotiation to detect the remote peer's
capabilities. If a peer is only configured as an IPv4 unicast neighbor, *bgpd*
does not send these Capability Negotiation packets (at least not unless other
optional BGP features require capability negotation).

By default, FRR will bring up peering with minimal common capability for the
both sides. For example, if the local router has unicast and multicast
capabilities and the remote router only has unicast capability the local router
will establish the connection with unicast only capability. When there are no
common capabilities, FRR sends Unsupported Capability error and then resets the
connection.

If you want to completely match capabilities with remote peer. Please use
*strict-capability-match* command.

.. index:: neighbor PEER strict-capability-match
.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER strict-capability-match

.. index:: no neighbor PEER strict-capability-match
.. clicmd:: no neighbor PEER strict-capability-match

   Strictly compares remote capabilities and local capabilities. If
   capabilities are different, send Unsupported Capability error then reset
   connection.

   You may want to disable sending Capability Negotiation OPEN message optional
   parameter to the peer when remote peer does not implement Capability
   Negotiation. Please use *dont-capability-negotiate* command to disable the
   feature.

.. index:: neighbor PEER dont-capability-negotiate
.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER dont-capability-negotiate

.. index:: no neighbor PEER dont-capability-negotiate
.. clicmd:: no neighbor PEER dont-capability-negotiate

   Suppress sending Capability Negotiation as OPEN message optional parameter
   to the peer. This command only affects the peer is configured other than
   IPv4 unicast configuration.

   When remote peer does not have capability negotiation feature, remote peer
   will not send any capabilities at all. In that case, bgp configures the peer
   with configured capabilities.

   You may prefer locally configured capabilities more than the negotiated
   capabilities even though remote peer sends capabilities. If the peer is
   configured by *override-capability*, *bgpd* ignores received capabilities
   then override negotiated capabilities with configured values.

.. index:: neighbor PEER override-capability
.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER override-capability

.. index:: no neighbor PEER override-capability
.. clicmd:: no neighbor PEER override-capability

   Override the result of Capability Negotiation with local configuration.
   Ignore remote peer's capability value.

.. _route-reflector:

.. _route-server:

Route Server
============

At an Internet Exchange point, many ISPs are connected to each other by the
"full mesh method". As with internal BGP full mesh formation, this method has a
scaling problem.

This scaling problem is well known. Route Server is a method to resolve the
problem. Each ISP's BGP router only peers to Route Server. Route Server serves
as BGP information exchange to other BGP routers. By applying this method,
numbers of BGP connections is reduced from O(n*(n-1)/2) to O(n).

Unlike a normal BGP router, Route Server must have several routing tables for
managing different routing policies for each BGP speaker. We call the routing
tables as different "views". *bgpd* can work as normal BGP router or Route
Server or both at the same time.

.. _multiple-instance:

Multiple instance
-----------------

To enable multiple view function of *bgpd*, you must turn on multiple instance
feature beforehand.

.. index:: bgp multiple-instance
.. clicmd:: bgp multiple-instance

   Enable BGP multiple instance feature. After this feature is enabled,
   you can make multiple BGP instances or multiple BGP views.

.. index:: no bgp multiple-instance
.. clicmd:: no bgp multiple-instance

   Disable BGP multiple instance feature. You can not disable this feature
   when BGP multiple instances or views exist.

When you want to make configuration more Cisco like one,

.. index:: bgp config-type cisco
.. clicmd:: bgp config-type cisco

   Cisco compatible BGP configuration output.

When bgp config-type cisco is specified,

``no synchronization`` is displayed.
``no auto-summary`` is displayed.

The ``network`` and ``aggregate-address`` arguments are displayed as::

   A.B.C.D M.M.M.M

   FRR: network 10.0.0.0/8
   Cisco: network 10.0.0.0

   FRR: aggregate-address 192.168.0.0/24
   Cisco: aggregate-address 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0

Community attribute handling is also different. If no configuration is
specified community attribute and extended community attribute are sent to the
neighbor. If a user manually disables the feature, the community attribute is
not sent to the neighbor. When ``bgp config-type cisco`` is specified, the
community attribute is not sent to the neighbor by default. To send the
community attribute user has to specify *neighbor A.B.C.D send-community*
command.::

   !
   router bgp 1
    neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 1
    address-family ipv4 unicast
     no neighbor 10.0.0.1 send-community
    exit-address-family
   !
   router bgp 1
    neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 1
    address-family ipv4 unicast
     neighbor 10.0.0.1 send-community
    exit-address-family
   !


.. index:: bgp config-type zebra
.. clicmd:: bgp config-type zebra

   FRR style BGP configuration. This is default.

.. _bgp-instance-and-view:

BGP instance and view
---------------------

BGP instance is a normal BGP process. The result of route selection goes to the
kernel routing table. You can setup different AS at the same time when BGP
multiple instance feature is enabled.

.. index:: router bgp AS-NUMBER
.. clicmd:: router bgp AS-NUMBER

   Make a new BGP instance. You can use an arbitrary word for the `name`.

  ::

     bgp multiple-instance
     !
     router bgp 1
      neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 2
      neighbor 10.0.0.2 remote-as 3
     !
     router bgp 2
      neighbor 10.0.0.3 remote-as 4
      neighbor 10.0.0.4 remote-as 5


BGP view is almost same as normal BGP process. The result of route selection
does not go to the kernel routing table. BGP view is only for exchanging BGP
routing information.

.. index:: router bgp AS-NUMBER view NAME
.. clicmd:: router bgp AS-NUMBER view NAME

   Make a new BGP view. You can use arbitrary word for the `name`. This view's
   route selection result does not go to the kernel routing table.

   With this command, you can setup Route Server like below.

   ::

      bgp multiple-instance
      !
      router bgp 1 view 1
       neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 2
       neighbor 10.0.0.2 remote-as 3
      !
      router bgp 2 view 2
       neighbor 10.0.0.3 remote-as 4
       neighbor 10.0.0.4 remote-as 5


.. _routing-policy:

Routing policy
--------------

You can set different routing policy for a peer. For example, you can set
different filter for a peer.::

   bgp multiple-instance
   !
   router bgp 1 view 1
    neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 2
    address-family ipv4 unicast
     neighbor 10.0.0.1 distribute-list 1 in
    exit-address-family
   !
   router bgp 1 view 2
    neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 2
    address-family ipv4 unicast
     neighbor 10.0.0.1 distribute-list 2 in
    exit-address-family


This means BGP update from a peer 10.0.0.1 goes to both BGP view 1 and view 2.
When the update is inserted into view 1, distribute-list 1 is applied. On the
other hand, when the update is inserted into view 2, distribute-list 2 is
applied.

.. _viewing-the-view:

Viewing the view
----------------

To display routing table of BGP view, you must specify view name.

.. index:: show ip bgp view NAME
.. clicmd:: show ip bgp view NAME

   Display routing table of BGP view ``NAME``.

.. _bgp-regular-expressions:

BGP Regular Expressions
=======================

BGP regular expressions are based on `POSIX 1003.2` regular expressions. The
following description is just a quick subset of the `POSIX` regular
expressions. Adding to that, the special character '_' is added.


.*
   Matches any single character.

*
   Matches 0 or more occurrences of pattern.

+
   Matches 1 or more occurrences of pattern.

?
   Match 0 or 1 occurrences of pattern.

^
   Matches the beginning of the line.

$
   Matches the end of the line.

_
   Character `_` has special meanings in BGP regular expressions.  It matches
   to space and comma , and AS set delimiter { and } and AS confederation
   delimiter `(` and `)`. And it also matches to the beginning of the line and
   the end of the line. So `_` can be used for AS value boundaries match. This
   character technically evaluates to `(^|[,{}() ]|$)`.

Example of a session to an upstream, advertising only one prefix to it.::

   router bgp 64512
    bgp router-id 10.236.87.1
    neighbor upstream peer-group
    neighbor upstream remote-as 64515
    neighbor upstream capability dynamic
    neighbor 10.1.1.1 peer-group upstream
    neighbor 10.1.1.1 description ACME ISP

   !
   ip prefix-list pl-allowed-adv seq 5 permit 82.195.133.0/25
   ip prefix-list pl-allowed-adv seq 10 deny any

A more complex example. With upstream, peer and customer sessions.  Advertising
global prefixes and NO_EXPORT prefixes and providing actions for customer
routes based on community values. Extensive use of route-maps and the 'call'
feature to support selective advertising of prefixes. This example is intended
as guidance only, it has NOT been tested and almost certainly containts silly
mistakes, if not serious flaws.

   ! Utility route-maps
   !
   ! These utility route-maps generally should not used to permit/deny
   ! routes, i.e. they do not have meaning as filters, and hence probably
   ! should be used with 'on-match next'. These all finish with an empty
   ! permit entry so as not interfere with processing in the caller.

.. [#med-transitivity-rant] For some set of objects to have an order, there *must* be some binary ordering relation that is defined for *every* combination of those objects, and that relation *must* be transitive. I.e.:, if the relation operator is <, and if a < b and b < c then that relation must carry over and it *must* be that a < c for the objects to have an order. The ordering relation may allow for equality, i.e. a < b and b < a may both be true amd imply that a and b are equal in the order and not distinguished by it, in which case the set has a partial order. Otherwise, if there is an order, all the objects have a distinct place in the order and the set has a total order)
