8.12 Configuring a BGP4+ Confederation
On a large-scale BGP4+ network, configuring a BGP4+ confederation can simplify the
management of routing policies and improve the efficiency of route advertisement.
8.12.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring a BGP4+ confederation, familiarize yourself with the applicable
environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This can help
you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
The confederation is a method of handling the abrupt increase of IBGP connections in an AS.
The confederation divides an AS into multiple sub-ASs. In each sub-AS, IBGP peers can be
full-meshed or be configured with a route reflector. EBGP connections are set up between sub-
ASs.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring a BGP4+ confederation, complete the following task:
l Configuring Basic BGP4+ Functions
Data Preparation
To configure a BGP4+ confederation, you need the following data.
No.
Data
