1-4-1. Cisco Single BGP with AS prepend

BGP sample configuration 1-4-1

Cisco Single BGP with AS prepend

   
  • ISPs : 1
  • WAN links : 1
  • CPE : 1
  • PE : 1
  • Device : Cisco router with LAN/WAN ports.
  • WAN / Serial IP : 12.1.3.0/30 (mask 255.255.255.252)
  • LAN / Ethernet IP : 10.1.0.0/24 (mask 255.255.255.0)
  • Receiving Route : Default route + full route from ISP
  • Memory : Full route(recommend 512M), partial route
    (recommend 128-256M)
  • LAN : ISP (AS20) and Customer (AS10)
  • Comments: If you have only single link with ISP, you don’t really need BGP protocol at all. Better to use just default route to save even bandwidth. Consult with professionals if really need it. This article is shown for educational purpose.
