Operation Manual

Each router has a prior knowledge only of networks attached to it directly. A routing protocol shares this information first

among immediate neighbors, and then throughout the network. This way, routers gain knowledge of the topology of the

network.

Choose from the following tabs to configure routing protocols:

BGP Routing

OSPF Routing

RIP Routing

RIPNG Routing

BGP Routing

The latest version of BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is version 4. BGP-4 is one of the Exterior Gateway Protocols and

de facto standard of Inter Domain routing protocol. BGP-4 is described in RFC1771, A Border Gateway Protocol 4

(BGP-4). BGP is a distance vector routing protocol, and the AS-Path framework provides distance vector metric and

loop detection to BGP RFC1930.

BGP Editor

Name: Unique name of the policy.

ASN: The AS (Autonomous System) number is one of the essential elements of BGP.

Router-ID: This sets the router-ID of the BGP process. The router-ID may be an IP address of the router, but need

not be – it can be any arbitrary 32-bit number. However it MUST be unique within the entire BGP domain to the

BGP speaker: bad things will happen if multiple BGP speakers are configured with the same router-ID.

Enabled: Click to enable/disable the policy. (Default: enabled.)
