Objectives
Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings and Interface Addressing
Part 2: Configure and Verify Multi-Protocol BGP on all Routers
Part 3: Configure and Verify BGP Path Manipulation Settings on all Routers

Background / Scenario
The default settings in BGP allow for a great deal of undesired route information to pass between
autonomous systems. In this lab you will configure Multi-Protocol BGP and implement various path
manipulation options for both IPv4 and IPv6.
Note: This lab is an exercise in developing, deploying, and verifying various path manipulation tools for BGP,
and does not reflect networking best practices.
Note: The routers used with CCNP hands-on labs are Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4
(universalk9 image). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco
IOS version, the commands available and the output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs.
Note: Ensure that the routers have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure contact
your instructor.

Required Resources
 3 Routers (Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 universal image or comparable)
 1 PC (Choice of operating system with a terminal emulation program installed)
 Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
 Ethernet and serial cables as shown in the topology

Instructions

Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings and Interface
Addressing
In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings and interface addressing on
routers.

Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.

Attach the devices as shown in the topology diagram, and cable as necessary.

Step 2: Configure basic settings for each router.

Part 2: Configure and Verify Multi-Protocol BGP on all Routers

In Part 2, you will configure and verify Multi-Protocol BGP on all routers to achieve full connectivity between
the routers. The text below provides you with the complete configuration for R1. You will use this to inform
your configuration of R2 and R3. The configuration being used here is not meant to represent best practice,
but to assess your ability to complete the required configurations.

Step 1: On R1, create the core BGP configuration.

a. Enter BGP configuration mode from global configuration mode, specifying AS 6500.
Open configuration window

R1(config)# router bgp 6500

b. Configure the BGP router-id for R1.
R1(config-router)# bgp router-id 1.1.1.1
c. Disable the default IPv4 unicast address family behavior.
R1(config-router)# no bgp default ipv4-unicast
d. Based on the topology diagram, configure all the designated neighbors for R1.
R1(config-router)# neighbor 10.1.2.2 remote-as 500
R1(config-router)# neighbor 10.1.3.3 remote-as 300
R1(config-router)# neighbor 10.1.3.130 remote-as 300
R1(config-router)# neighbor 2001:db8:acad:1012::2 remote-as 500
R1(config-router)# neighbor 2001:db8:acad:1013::3 remote-as 300
R1(config-router)# neighbor 2001:db8:acad:1014::3 remote-as 300

Step 2: On R1, configure the IPv4 unicast address family.

a. Enter the IPv4 unicast address family configuration mode.
R1(config-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
b. Configure network statements for the IPv4 networks attached to interfaces loopback0 and loopback1.
Remember that BGP does not work the same way that an IGP does, and that the network statement has
no impact on neighbor adjacency; it is used solely for advertising purposes.
R1(config-router-af)# network 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.224
R1(config-router-af)# network 192.168.1.64 mask 255.255.255.192
c. Deactivate the IPv6 neighbors and activate the IPv4 neighbors.
R1(config-router-af)# no neighbor 2001:db8:acad:1012::2 activate
R1(config-router-af)# no neighbor 2001:db8:acad:1013::3 activate
R1(config-router-af)# no neighbor 2001:db8:acad:1014::3 activate
R1(config-router-af)# neighbor 10.1.2.2 activate
R1(config-router-af)# neighbor 10.1.3.3 activate
R1(config-router-af)# neighbor 10.1.3.130 activate

Step 3: On R1, configure the IPv6 unicast address family.

a. Enter the IPv6 unicast address family configuration mode.
R1(config-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
b. Configure network statements for the IPv6 networks that are attached to interfaces loopback0 and
loopback1. Remember that BGP does not work the same way that an IGP does; therefore, the network
statement has no impact on neighbor adjacency; it is used solely for advertising purposes.

R1(config-router-af)# network 2001:db8:acad:1000::/64

R1(config-router-af)# network 2001:db8:acad:1001::/64
c. Activate the IPv6 neighbors that are configured for BGP.
R1(config-router-af)# neighbor 2001:db8:acad:1012::2 activate
R1(config-router-af)# neighbor 2001:db8:acad:1013::3 activate
R1(config-router-af)# neighbor 2001:db8:acad:1014::3 activate

Step 4: Configure MP-BGP on R2 and R3 as you did in the previous step.

Step 5: Verify that MP-BGP is operational.

a. Use the show bgp ipv4 unicast summary and show bgp ipv6 unicast summary commands to verify
that BGP has established three IPv4 and three IPv6 adjacencies and received four prefixes from each
neighbor.

Part 3: Configure and Verify BGP Path Manipulation Settings on all Routers
In Part 3, you will configure path manipulation tools for BGP. The way these tools are being used here is not
meant to represent best practice, but to assess your ability to complete the required configurations.

Step 1: Configure ACL-based route filtering.

In this step, you will configure R3 so that it only sends ASN300 networks to R1; it will not tell R1 that it knows
about the networks in ASN200.
a. On R1, issue the command show bgp ipv4 unicast | i 300 to see what prefixes ASN300 is sharing via
BGP. Take note of those prefixes that do not originate in ASN300.
Open configuration window

*> 10.1.3.3 0 0 300 i
* 10.1.3.130 0 0 300 i

b. On R3, configure an access list designed to match the source address and mask of the networks
belonging to ASN300:
R3(config)# ip access-list extended ALLOWED_TO_R1
R3(config-ext-nacl)# permit ip 192.168.3.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.224 0.0.0.0
R3(config-ext-nacl)# permit ip 192.168.3.64 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.192 0.0.0.0
R3(config-ext-nacl)# exit
c. On R3, apply the ALLOWED_TO_R1 ACL as a distribute list to the IPv4 neighbor adjacencies with R1.
R3(config)# router bgp 300
R3(config-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
R3(config-router-af)# neighbor 10.1.3.1 distribute-list ALLOWED_TO_R1 out
R3(config-router-af)# neighbor 10.1.3.129 distribute-list ALLOWED_TO_R1 out
R3(config-router-af)# end
d. Perform a reset of the IPv4 adjacency with R1 for the outbound traffic without tearing down the session.
R3# clear bgp ipv4 unicast 6500 out
e. On R1, issue the command show bgp ipv4 unicast | i 300 to see what prefixes routes ASN300 is now
sharing via BGP. All of the prefixes should now originate in ASN300:
R1# show bgp ipv4 unicast | i 300
* 192.168.3.0/27 10.1.2.2 0 500 300 i
*> 10.1.3.3 0 0 300 i
* 10.1.3.130 0 0 300 i
* 192.168.3.64/26 10.1.2.2 0 500 300 i
*> 10.1.3.3 0 0 300 i
* 10.1.3.130 0 0 300 i
Close configuration window

Step 2: Configure prefix-list-based route filtering.

In this step, you will configure R1 so that it only accepts ASN500 networks from R2; it will not accept
information about ASN300 networks from R2.
a. On R1, issue the command show bgp ipv4 unicast | begin 192.168.3 to see what prefixes ASN500 is
sharing via BGP. Take note of those prefixes that do not originate in ASN500.
Open configuration window

R1# show bgp ipv4 unicast | begin 192.168.3

* 192.168.3.0/27 10.1.3.130 0 0 300 i
* 10.1.2.2 0 500 300 i

R1(config)# ip prefix-list ALLOWED_FROM_R2 seq 5 permit 192.168.2.0/24 le 27
c. Apply the ALLOWED_FROM_R2 prefix list to the IPv4 neighbor adjacencies for R2.
R1(config)# router bgp 6500
R1(config-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
R1(config-router-af)# neighbor 10.1.2.2 prefix-list ALLOWED_FROM_R2 in
R1(config-router-af)# end
d. Perform a reset of the IPv4 adjacency with R2 for the inbound traffic without tearing down the session.
R1# clear bgp ipv4 unicast 500 in
e. On R1, issue the command show bgp ipv4 unicast | i 500 to see what prefixes routes ASN500 is now
sharing via BGP. All of the prefixes should now originate in ASN500.
R1# show bgp ipv4 unicast | i 500
*> 192.168.2.0/27 10.1.2.2 0 0 500 i
*> 192.168.2.64/26 10.1.2.2 0 0 500 i
Close configuration window

Step 3: Configure an AS-PATH ACL to filter routes being advertised.

In this step, you will configure R1 so that it only sends ASN100 networks to R2; it will not forward information
about prefixes from any other ASN to ASN500.
a. On R2, issue the command show bgp ipv4 unicast | begin Network to see what prefixes ASN6500 is
sharing via BGP. Take note of those prefixes that do not originate in ASN6500. Advertising these routes
could set ASN6500 up as a transit AS, and that is not a desirable scenario.
Open configuration window

b. On R1, configure AS-PATH ACL to match the routes from the local ASN.
R1(config)# ip as-path access-list 1 permit ^$
c. On R1, apply the AS-PATH ACL as a filter-list on the adjacency configured with R2.
R1(config)# router bgp 6500
R1(config-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
R1(config-router-af)# neighbor 10.1.2.2 filter-list 1 out
R1(config-router-af)# end
d. On R1, perform a reset of the IPv4 adjacency with R2 for the outbound traffic without tearing down the
session.

e. On R2, issue the command show bgp ipv4 unicast | i 6500 to see what prefixes routes ASN6500 is now
sharing via BGP. All of the prefixes should now originate in ASN6500.
R2# show bgp ipv4 unicast | i 6500

*> 10.1.2.1 0 0 6500 i
Close configuration window

Step 4: Configure IPv6 prefix-list-based route filtering.

In this step, you will configure R1 so that it only accepts ASN500 IPv6 networks from R2. It will not accept
information about ASN300 IPv6 networks from R2.
a. On R1, issue the command show bgp ipv6 unicast neighbors 2001:db8:acad:1012::2 routes to see
what IPv6 prefixes ASN500 is sharing via BGP. Take note of those IPv6 prefixes that do not originate in
ASN500.

b. On R1, configure an IPv6 prefix list designed to match the source address and mask of networks
belonging to ASN500.
R1(config)# ipv6 prefix-list IPV6_ALLOWED_FROM_R2 seq 5 permit
2001:db8:acad:2000::/64
R1(config)# ipv6 prefix-list IPV6_ALLOWED_FROM_R2 seq 10 permit
2001:db8:acad:2001::/64
c. Apply the IPV6_ALLOWED_FROM_R2 prefix list to the IPv6 neighbor adjacencies for R2.
R1(config)# router bgp 6500
R1(config-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast

f. Configure and apply an IPv6 filter to do the same thing on the adjacency with ASN300.

Step 5: Configure BGP path attribute manipulation to effect routing.

In this step, you will configure R1 so that it prefers the next-hop address of 192.168.3.130 over 192.168.3.3,
which would normally be the preferred path to ASN300 networks. You will do this by using a prefix list to
identify the destination networks and then use a route map to match the prefix list and set the matched
networks to have a local preference of 250.
a. On R1, issue the command show ip route bgp and take note of the next hop addresses for the
192.168.3.0/27 and 192.168.3.64/26 networks. Then issue the command show bpg ipv4 unicast and
note that the 10.1.3.130 is a valid next hop (It’s just not the best next hop, according to the BGP path
selection algorithm.) Lastly, issue the command show bgp ipv4 unicast 192.168.3.0 to see details about
all the paths available and which one was selected.

b. On R1, configure a prefix list designed to match the source address and mask of networks belonging to
ASN300.
R1(config)# ip prefix-list PREFERRED_IPV4_PATH seq 5 permit 192.168.3.0/24 le 27

c. Create a route-map named USE_THIS_PATH_FOR_IPV4 that matches on the prefix list you just created
and sets the local preference to 250.
R1(config)# route-map USE_THIS_PATH_FOR_IPV4 permit 10
R1(config)# match ip address prefix-list PERFERRED_IPV4_PATH
R1(config)# set local-preference 250
d. Next, apply this route map to the BGP neighbor 10.1.3.130.
R1(config)# router bgp 6500
R1(config-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
R1(config-router-af)# neighbor 10.1.3.130 route-map USE_THIS_PATH_FOR_IPV4 in

e. Perform a reset of the IPv4 adjacency with R3 for the inbound traffic without tearing down the session.
R1# clear bgp ipv4 unicast 300 in
f. On R1, issue the command show ip route bgp and take note of the next hop addresses for the
192.168.3.0/27 and 192.168.3.64/26 networks; it should be 10.1.3.130 for both. Issue the command
show bgp ipv4 unicast and you should see the local preference value in the appropriate column.

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many
interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router
class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device.
The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example
of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be used in
Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
