Configuring basic BGP:
• (Required.) Enabling BGP
• (Required.) Perform one of the following tasks:
{ Configuring a BGP peer
{ Configuring a BGP peer group
• (Optional.) Specifying the source interface for TCP connections
HP recommends that
you configure BGP peer
groups on large scale
BGP networks for easy
configuration and
maintenance.
Perform at least one of the following tasks to generate BGP routes:
• Injecting a local network
• Redistributing IGP routes
N/A
(Optional.) Controlling route distribution and reception:
• Configuring BGP route summarization
• Advertising optimal routes in the IP routing table
• Advertising a default route to a peer or peer group
• Limiting routes received from a peer or peer group
• Configuring BGP route filtering policies
• Configuring BGP route dampening
