Chapter 15. Deploying BGP
Tell me what you need, and I’ll tell you how to get along without it.

This chapter delves into administering the BGP routing protocol. The goal of this chapter is to help network engineers configure BGP in their data center network.

How do I configure BGP to peer with BGP speakers on hosts such as with Kube-router?
-

Core BGP Configuration Concepts
We begin our journey by studying the basic concepts of BGP configuration. It consists of the following basic parts:
-
Global BGP configuration, which includes:
-
router-id configuration
-
Neighbor (or peer) configuration
-
Routing policy definitions
-
Timer configuration
-
-
Neighbor-specific configuration, which includes:
-
Non-global Timer configuration
-
Non-address-family-specific configuration
-
-
Address-family-specific configuration, which includes:
-
Neighbor-specific activation of AFI/SAFI
-
Route advertisement specification
-
Application of routing policy to specific neighbors
-
