Configuring BGP

Monitoring and Maintaining EIGRP

You can delete neighbors from the neighbor table. You can also display various EIGRP routing statistics.
Table32-8 lists the privileged E X EC c omm an ds for d ele tin g n eig hbors a nd d ispl ayin g sta ti stics . For
explanations of fields in the resulting display, see the Cisco IOS IP Command Reference, Volume 2 of 3:
Routing Protocols, Release 12.2.
Configuring BGP
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an exterior gateway protocol used to set up an interdomain
routing system that guarantees the loop-free exchange of routing information betw een auto nomous
systems. Autonomous systems are made up of routers that operate under the same administration and
that run Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs), such as RIP or OSPF, within their boundaries a nd that
interconnect by using an Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP). BGP Version 4 is the standard EGP for
interdomain routing in the Internet. The protocol is defined in RFCs 1163, 1267, and 1771. You can find
detailed information about BGP in Internet Routing Architectures, published by Cisco Press, and in the
“Configuring BGP” chapter in the Cisco IOS IP and IP Routing Configuration Guide.
For details about BGP commands and keywords, see the “IP Routing Protocols” p art of the Cisco IOS
IP Command Reference, Volume 2 of 3: Routing Protocols, Release 12.2. For a list of BGP commands
that are visible but not supported by the switch, see Appendix C, “Unsupported Commands in
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)EX.”
Routers that belong to the same autonomous system (AS) and that exchange BGP updates run internal
BGP (IBGP), and routers that belong to different autonomous systems and th at exc han ge BG P u pdate s
run external BGP (EBGP). Most configuration comm ands are the same for configuring EBGP and IBGP.
The difference is that the routing updates are exch anged ei ther betwee n au tono mous syst ems (E BGP) or
within an AS (IBGP). Figure32-4 shows a network that is running both EBGP and IBGP.
