BGP Peer Group Tab
- Network > Virtual Router > BGP > Peer Group
A BGP peer group is a collection of BGP peers that share settings,
such as the type of peer group (EBGP, for example), or the setting
to remove private AS numbers from the AS_PATH list that the virtual
router sends in Update packets. BGP peer groups save you from having
to configure multiple peers with the same settings. You must configure
at least one BGP peer group in order to configure the BGP peers
that belong to the group.
BGP Peer Group Settings | Configure In | Description |
---|---|---|
Name | BGPPeer Group | Enter a name to identify the peer group. |
Enable | Select to activate the peer group. | |
Aggregated Confed AS Path | Select to include a path to the configured
aggregated confederation AS. | |
Soft Reset with Stored Info | Select to perform a soft reset of the firewall
after updating the peer settings. | |
Type | Specify the type of peer or group and configure
the associated settings (see below in this table for descriptions
of Import Next Hop and Export
Next Hop).
| |
Import Next Hop | Choose an option for next hop import:
| |
Export Next Hop | Choose an option for next hop export:
| |
Remove Private AS | Select to remove private autonomous systems
from the AS_PATH list. | |
Name | BGPPeer GroupPeer | Add a New BGP peer
and enter a name to identify it. |
Enable | Select to activate the peer. | |
Peer AS | Specify the autonomous system (AS) of the
peer. | |
Enable MP-BGP Extensions | BGPPeer GroupPeerAddressing | Enables the firewall to support the Multiprotocol
BGP Address Family Identifier for IPv4 and IPv6 and Subsequent Address Family
Identifier options per RFC 4760. |
Address Family Type | Select either the IPv4 or IPv6 address
family that BGP sessions with this peer will support. | |
Subsequent Address Family | Select either the Unicast or Multicast subsequent
address family protocol the BGP sessions with this peer will carry. | |
Local Address—Interface | Choose a firewall interface. | |
Local Address—IP | Choose a local IP address. | |
Peer Address—Type and Address | Select the type of address that identifies
the peer:
| |
Auth Profile | BGPPeer GroupPeerConnection Options | Select a profile or select New
Auth Profile from the drop down. Enter a Profile Name and
the Secret, and Confirm Secret. |
Keep Alive Interval | Specify an interval after which routes from
a peer are suppressed according to the hold time setting (range
is 0-1,200 seconds; default is 30 seconds). | |
Multi Hop | Set the time-to-live (TTL) value in the
IP header (range is 0 to 255; default is 0). The default value of
0 means 1 for eBGP. The default value of 0 means 255 for iBGP. | |
Open Delay Time | Specify the delay time between opening the
peer TCP connection and sending the first BGP open message (range
is 0-240 seconds; default is 0 seconds). | |
Hold Time | Specify the period of time that may elapse
between successive KEEPALIVE or UPDATE messages from a peer before
the peer connection is closed (range is 3-3,600 seconds; default
is 90 seconds). | |
Idle Hold Time | Specify the time to wait in the idle state
before retrying connection to the peer (range is 1-3,600 seconds;
default is 15 seconds). | |
Incoming Connections—Remote Port | Specify the incoming port number and Allow traffic
to this port. | |
Outgoing Connections—Local Port | Specify the outgoing port number and Allow traffic
from this port | |
Reflector Client | BGPPeer GroupPeerAdvanced | Select the type of reflector client (Non-Client, Client,
or Meshed Client). Routes that are received
from reflector clients are shared with all internal and external
BGP peers. |
Peering Type | Specify a Bilateral peer or leave Unspecified. | |
Max Prefixes | Specify the maximum number of IP prefixes to import from the peer (1 to 100,000 or
unlimited). | |
Enable Sender Side Loop Detection | Enable to cause the firewall to check the AS_PATH attribute of a route in the BGP RIB before it
sends the route in an update, to ensure that the peer AS number
isn't in the AS_PATH list. The firewall doesn't advertise the route
if the peer AS number is in the AS_PATH list. Usually the receiver
detects loops, but this optimization feature has the sender perform
the loop detection. Disable this feature to have the receiver
perform loop detection. | |
BFD | To enable Bidirectional Forwarding Detection
(BFD) for a BGP peer (and thereby override the BFD setting
for BGP, as long as BFD is not disabled for
BGP at the virtual router level), select the default profile (default
BFD settings), an existing BFD profile, Inherit-vr-global-setting (to
inherit the global BGP BFD profile), or New BFD Profile (to
create a new BFD profile). Disable BFD disables
BFD for the BGP peer. If you enable
or disable BFD globally, all interfaces running BGP will be taken
down and brought back up with the BFD function. This can disrupt
all BGP traffic. When you enable BFD on the interface, the firewall
will stop the BGP connection to the peer to program BFD on the interface.
The peer device will see the BGP connection drop, which can result
in a reconvergence that impacts production traffic. Therefore, enable
BFD on BGP interfaces during an off-peak time when a reconvergence will
not impact production traffic. |
