Quick Study Notes: BGP Neighbor Relationships

eBGP Neighbor Relationships:
• different AS number: eBGP neighbors must reside in different autonomous systems
• defined neighbor: a TCP session must be established before exchanging routing updates
• reachability: by default, eBGP neighbors must be directly connected

Basic eBGP Configuration:

1️⃣ Enable the BGP routing process.
Example: router bgp 64496

2️⃣ Establish neighbor relationships.
Example: neighbor 198.51.100.1 remote-as 64511

3️⃣ Advertise networks with BGP.
Example: network 203.0.113.0 mask 255.255.255.0
