BGP configuration

BGP configuration

- [Instructor] In this lesson, we're going to go through the configuration of BGP with Cisco SD-WAN. But first, I want to talk about preventing routing loops. It's considered a best practice that all of your nodes in the SD-WAN fabric operates as a single autonomous system, such as AS-20 in the diagram, and that your connections with other devices are external BGP connections or EBC connections. Try saying that fast three times. Now, what's going to happen is that the prefix can be originated from outside of the SD-WAN fabric, which is an EBG session, which then the route would be redistributed into OMP on the edge device. Now, remember that this does not happen automatically. This will need to be configured in the OMP feature template or the VPN feature template, at which point the route is then going to be propagated towards the vSmarts and then from the vSmarts to other edge devices. Then at that point, that edge device would redistribute from OMP to BGP. Now, as a part of this…
