Ron's Routing QoTD - 6/25

| Here's a partial BGP configuration:
> neighbor backbone remote-as 100
> neighbor backbone update-source loopback 0
> neighbor backbone route-map set-med out
> neighbor backbone filter-list 1 out
> neighbor backbone filter-list 2 in
What BGP feature are you configuring by specifying "backbone" instead of an IP address?
Cheers,
Ron

| So Ron
neighbor < ip address | peer-group-name > config variable
and sometime previous you would have input the statement:
neighbor peer-group-name peer-group
Where peer-group-name is backbone
Obviously this you didn't show, very neat. Keeps the mind lubricated! | |

| Right on, Hoon and Cahillrobert! 
A quick intro to Peer Groups from Cisco:
>>>>>
The major benefit of specifying a BGP peer group is that it reduces the amount of system resources (CPU and memory) used in an update generation. It also simplifies BGP configuration since it allows the routing table to be checked only once, and updates to be replicated to all other in-sync peer group members. Depending on the number of peer group members, the number of prefixes in the table, and the number of prefixes advertised, this can significantly reduce the load. We recommend that you group together peers with identical outbound announcement policies.

| One of my friends took the old two day lab and when he was settling up at the end of day 2, the proctor was showing him why he missed the BGP section because he didn't do something like filter, set med, or something. My friend had to point out to the proctor that he had, in fact, done that but that he'd done it all by setting up peer groups and the proctor had not expected that. He set up the peer group because he had time to do it and felt like fooling around with it. Hah.
