BGP Part 5 (Packet Tracer BGP Configuration Example)

Packet Tracer BGP Configuration

************************************************************
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE CISCO PACKET TRACER, YOU CAN START
WITH OUR CISCO PACKET TRACER HOW TO GUIDE COURSE, IN UDEMY.COM.
************************************************************

To understand BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) better, we will make a basic BGP configuration on Cisco IOS. This configuration will be on packet
tracer. Because of the limited numbers of commands available on it, we will have a very basic configuration. Beside this, I will add some additional
cofiguration steps that is needed for IBGP but we can not configure on Packet Tracer.

In the configuratin we will use two AS (Autonomous System) with 3 routers for each. We will use the private AS block (64512 to 65535) for this
configuration, but in internet public AS numbers are used.

The topology that we will use is below:

BGP Configuration Topology

For this configuration, firstly we need to configure the IP addresses of interfaces as other examples. To do this, as a better network engineering rule,

BGP Part 5 (Packet Tracer BGP Configuration Example) | www.ipcisc... http://ipcisco.com/bgp-part-5-packet-tracer-bgp-configuration-example/

firstly make your IP plan or, use the existing one. Acording to my basic IP plan, I used the below IPs for my interfaces.

Interfaces IP Addresses
1.1.1.1
2.2.2.2
10.0.0.1
10.0.0.2
20.0.0.1
20.0.0.2
30.0.0.1
30.0.0.2
40.0.0.1
40.0.0.2
50.0.0.1
50.0.0.2

BGP Configurations

The exact important point of this configuration is here. The configuration made in this part, is for the BGP.

As I said before, because of the Packet Tracer s command limit, in the configuration file, th IBGP parts are not configured, but writen here (ibgp
neighbourship and route reflector commands).

BGP Verification Commands

After the configuration you can verfy your configuration with the below commands:

show ip bgp
show ip bgp summary
show ip bgp neighbours

There is also one show ip bgp rib-failure command which is used to displays routes that were not inserted into the IP routing table. The reason of
this also can be seen with this commands output.

Whats version of packet tracer you use to implement IBGP?

Hello
BGP works with any version of Packet Tracer.
But in the tutorial it to mentione that the IBGP does not work on packet trace but to insert commands.
So you can try with GNS3 if you want implemanter IBGP
Or you buy real router
