Cards

Term
open message
Definition
Once a TCP connection has been established, this message is sent and includes a set of parameters that have to be agreed upon before a full BGP adjacency can be established
Term
update message
Definition

Message includes the following information:

  • Unreachable routes information
  • Path attribute information
  • Network-layer reachability information (NLRI)           ---This field contains a list of IP address prefixes that are reachable by this path. 
 
Term
clear ip bgp *
Definition
causes the bgp forwarding table to be completely deleted.  used to force all neighbors to resend their bgp table
Term

neighbor 10.0.0.2 remote-as 100

Definition
causes bgp to peer with the neighbor and routing begins
Term
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 210
Definition
configures a default static route with a distance of 210.  Sets a gateway of last resort
Term
ip default network
Definition
takes a network which is in the routing table and it sets it as the gateway of last resort.  it establishes this route as the only default route
Term
ip as-path access-list 1 deny ^100$
Definition
configures a special kind of access list to match bgp routes with an AS_PATH attribute that begins and ends with the number 100
Term
neighbor filter-list 1 out
Definition
applies the access list to routing information sent to a neighbor
Term
neighbor update-source lo0
Definition
configures the router to use the loopbacks ip address as the source ip address for all bgp messages sent to that neighbor
Term
neighbor next-hop-self
Definition

configures the router to become a valid gateway by overriding the next-hop address with its own ip address.

 

 critical that the opposite router becomes a valid gateway on wan links if one side goes down

Term
route-map NAME permit 10
Definition
used to define a route-map and sets it to permit with a sequence number of 10
Term
set local-preference 200
Definition
command sets the local preference to 200 which adjusts the outbound traffic to prefer a certain link over others
Term
set metric 50
Definition
stes the MED to 50.  Indicates to external neighbors the preferred path into an AS.  Lower metric preferred
Term
aggregate-address
Definition
configures the router to inject a summary address into bgp
Term
neighbor ebgp-multihop 2
Definition

  Increases the TTL which enables bgp to establish ebgp connections beyond one hop

 

command enables bgp to perform load balancing

Term
neighbor route-map
Definition
implements a route-map in the bgp process.  command applies the route-map to filter incoming or outgoing bgp routes to a neighbor
Term
neighbor 10.0.0.1 weight 100
Definition
used to change the weight for all updates from a neighbor.  only applicable locally and the highest weight is preferred
Term
neighbor prefix-list
Definition
command applies a prefix-list to routes that come from or go to a neighbor
Term
bgp default local-preference
Definition
used to change the default local preference for all routes advertised by the router.
Term
show ip bgp
Definition
displays entries in the bgp table.  networks and their next-hops are displayed along with the weight, local preference, MED, and AS path
Term
show ip bgp neighbors
Definition
dispays detailed information about the TCP and BGP connections to neighbors.  The bgp state and neighbor relationships status are displayed
Term
show ip bgp summary
Definition
displays the status of all bgp connections.  command is a useful alternative to the show neighbors command
Term
show ip bgp rib-failure
Definition
displays bgp routes that were not installed in the rib and the reason they were omitted
Term
BGP synchronization rule
Definition
a bgp router should not use or advertise, a route learned by IBGP, unless that route is local or learned from an IGP
Term
