Nokia Router 7750 SR BGP Basic configuration

Image
Let's explore few concepts of BGP and how to configure it on the Nokia 7750 SR Border gateway protocol is mainly used by Service Providers to carry the huge routing information between different Autonomous Systems. It uses the well-known TCP port number 179. BGP uses TCP protocol for authenticating its peer router session. There are two types of BGP as listed below 1. IBGP (Internal BGP used to share routing information within its own AS) 2. Ebgp (External BGP used to share routing information between 2 different AS) Let's explore how to configure BGP types as per the below topology. IGP is pre-configured as per topology. 1. IBGP configuration between PE01 to PE02  Forming IBGP between Router system IP/Loopback address is a best practice for family ipv4. why are we configuring internal BGP on SYSTEM/LOOPBACK IP? If we configure the adjacency using the physical interface for the ipv4 family it will lead to failure if that particular interface goes down. Even if we have an altern...
