BGP configuration task list
In a basic BGP network, you only need to perform the following configurations:
Enable BGP.
Configure BGP peers or peer groups. If you configure a BGP setting at both the peer group and the
peer level, the most recent configuration takes effect on the peer.
Control BGP route generation.
To control BGP route distribution and path selection, you must perform additional configuration tasks.
To configure BGP, perform the following tasks (IPv4):
Tasks at a

lance
Remarks
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
configuring BGP peer
groups on large scale
BGP networks for easy
configuration and
maintenance.
Generating BGP routes:
Perform at least one of the following tasks:
{ 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
N/A
(Optional.) Controlling BGP path selection:
Specifying a preferred value for routes received
Configuring preferences for BGP routes
Configuring the default local preference
Configuring the MED attribute
Configuring the NEXT_HOP attribute
Configuring the AS_PATH attribute
