Procedure

This section describes the steps of how to configure basic BGP functions on SwitchA, SwitchB, SwitchC and SwitchD.

Switch A

Step1         Configure the VLANs and VLAN interfaces.

...

Code Block
admin@SwitchA# set protocols bgp router-id 1.1.1.1
admin@SwitchA# set protocols bgp local-as 100
admin@SwitchA# set protocols bgp neighbor 192.168.30.2 remote-as 200
admin@SwitchA# set protocols bgp neighbor 192.168.40.2 remote-as 300-as 300
admin@SwitchA# set protocols bgp ebgp-requires-policy false

Step3        Enable IP routing.

...

Code Block
admin@SwitchB# set protocols bgp router-id 2.2.2.2
admin@SwitchB# set protocols bgp local-as 200
admin@SwitchB# set protocols bgp neighbor 192.168.30.1 remote-as 100
admin@SwitchB# set protocols bgp neighbor 192.168.20.1 remote-as 400
admin@SwitchB# set protocols bgp ebgp-requires-policy false

Step3        Enable IP routing.

admin@SwitchC# set protocols bgp neighbor 192.168.50.1 remote-as 400
admin@SwitchB# set protocols bgp ebgp-requires-policy false

Step3        Enable IP routing.

...

Code Block
