Lab 1: BGP configuration

1. Assign IP addresses to the interfaces.
Assign IP addresses to the interfaces of each switch, which will be used for communication between the switches.

2. Enable BGP on the switches.
Enable BGP on each switch by configuring the router ID and the AS number. The router ID is a unique identifier for the switch, and the AS number is used to identify the Autonomous System to which the switch belongs.

3. Configure BGP neighbors
Configure BGP neighbors on each switch by specifying the IP address of the neighbor switch and the AS number of the neighbor. This will establish a BGP peering session between the switches.

4. Advertise routes
Configure the switches to advertise their connected networks and any routes learned from other BGP peers.

Please remember when you configure bgp then you have to do this and this . . .  🙂

 

If the output of command “show bgp ipv4 unicast summary” looks like below then the BGP peering sessions have been established between the switches and that routes are being advertised correctly.
