BGP Multihop

The document discusses BGP multihop configurations, emphasizing the need to increase the TTL value for EBGP routers to establish peer relationships over multiple hops. It provides basic and BGP configurations for two routers (R1 and R2), including the use of loopback interfaces and static routes for reachability. Verification commands for checking BGP status are also included.

BGP Multihop & Update-Source:

o EBGP Routers use a TTL value of one for their BGP packets to send peer.
o BGP neighbor away more than one hop TTL decrement to 0 & discarded.
o The solution is to use to Multihop command Border Gateway Protocol.
o Use the ebgp-multihop command to increase the TTL value in BGP.
o Multihop command does not apply to Internal Border Gateway Protocol.
o If source EBGP from the loopback interfaces, then require the Multihop.
o If source EBGP from loopback interfaces also require update-source loopback.
o Using a loopback interface as update source, BGP session will not go down.
o The update source can be configured per neighbor or per peer-group.
o Static route is required to ensure that the loopback is reachable from both ends.
o Multihop enables peers to pass through other routers to form peer relationships.
