@chapter BGP

  BGP stands for a Border Gateway Protocol.  The lastest BGP version
is 4.  It is referred as BGP-4.  BGP-4 is one of the Exterior Gateway
Protocols and de-fact standard of Inter Domain routing protocol.
BGP-4 is described in @code{RFC1771} - @cite{A Border Gateway Protocol
4 (BGP-4)}.

  Many extentions are added to @code{RFC1771}.  @code{RFC2858} -
@cite{Multiprotocol Extensions for BGP-4} provide multiprotocol
support to BGP-4.

@section Starting BGP

Default configuration file of @command{bgpd} is @file{bgpd.conf}.
@command{bgpd} searches the current directory first then
@value{INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC}/bgpd.conf.  All of bgpd's command must be
configured in @file{bgpd.conf}.

@command{bgpd} specific invocation options are described below.  Common
options may also be specified (@pxref{Common Invocation Options}).

@table @samp

@node BGP router
@section BGP router

  First of all you must configure BGP router with @command{router bgp}
command.  To configure BGP router, you need AS number.  AS number is an
identification of autonomous system.  BGP protocol uses the AS number
for detecting whether the BGP connection is internal one or external one.

@deffn Command {router bgp @var{asn}} {}
Enable a BGP protocol process with the specified @var{asn}.  After
this statement you can input any @code{BGP Commands}.  You can not
create different BGP process under different @var{asn} without
specifying @code{multiple-instance} (@pxref{Multiple instance}).
@end deffn

@deffn Command {no router bgp @var{asn}} {}
Destroy a BGP protocol process with the specified @var{asn}.
@end deffn

@deffn {BGP} {bgp router-id @var{A.B.C.D}} {}
This command specifies the router-ID.  If @command{bgpd} connects to @command{zebra} it gets
interface and address information.  In that case default router ID value
is selected as the largest IP Address of the interfaces.  When
@code{router zebra} is not enabled @command{bgpd} can't get interface information
so @code{router-id} is set to 0.0.0.0.  So please set router-id by hand.

BGP peering.  BGP version @var{4+} means that the neighbor supports
Multiprotocol Extensions for BGP-4.  BGP version @var{4-} is similar but
the neighbor speaks the old Internet-Draft revision 00's Multiprotocol
Extensions for BGP-4.  Some routing software is still using this

@section Autonomous System

  AS (Autonomous System) is one of the essential element of BGP.  BGP
is a distance vector routing protocol.  AS framework provides distance
vector metric and loop detection to BGP.  @code{RFC1930} -
@cite{Guidelines for creation, selection, and registration of an
Autonomous System (AS)} describes how to use AS.

  AS number is tow octet digita value.  So the value range is from 1
to 65535.  AS numbers 64512 through 65535 are defined as private AS
numbers.  Private AS numbers must not to be advertised in the global
Internet.

@node AS Path Regular Expression
@subsection AS Path Regular Expression

  AS path regular expression can be used for displaying BGP routes and
AS path access list.  AS path regular expression is based on
@code{POSIX 1003.2} regular expressions.  Following description is
just a subset of @code{POSIX} regular expression.  User can use full
@code{POSIX} regular expression.  Adding to that special character '_'
is added for AS path regular expression.

@table @code
@item .
Matches any single character.
@item *
Matches 0 or more occurrences of pattern.
@item +
Matches 1 or more occurrences of pattern.
@item ?
Match 0 or 1 occurrences of pattern.
@item ^
Matches the beginning of the line.
@item $
Matches the end of the line.
@item _
Character @code{_} has special meanings in AS path regular expression.
It matches to space and comma , and AS set delimiter @{ and @} and AS
confederation delimiter @code{(} and @code{)}.  And it also matches to
the beginning of the line and the end of the line.  So @code{_} can be
used for AS value boundaries match.  @code{show ip bgp regexp _7675_}
matches to all of BGP routes which as AS number include @var{7675}.

@node BGP Communities Attribute
@section BGP Communities Attribute

  BGP communities attribute is widely used for implementing policy
routing.  Network operators can manipulate BGP communities attribute
based on their network policy.  BGP communities attribute is defined
in @code{RFC1997} - @cite{BGP Communities Attribute} and
@code{RFC1998} - @cite{An Application of the BGP Community Attribute
in Multi-home Routing}.  It is an optional transitive attribute,
therefore local policy can travel through different autonomous system.

  Communities attribute is a set of communities values.  Each
communities value is 4 octet long.  The following format is used to
define communities value.

@table @code
@item AS:VAL
This format represents 4 octet communities value.  @code{AS} is high
order 2 octet in digit format.  @code{VAL} is low order 2 octet in
digit format.  This format is useful to define AS oriented policy
value.  For example, @code{7675:80} can be used when AS 7675 wants to
pass local policy value 80 to neighboring peer.
@item internet
@code{internet} represents well-known communities value 0.
@item no-export
@code{no-export} represents well-known communities value @code{NO_EXPORT}@*
@r{(0xFFFFFF01)}.  All routes carry this value must not be advertised
to outside a BGP confederation boundary.  If neighboring BGP peer is
part of BGP confederation, the peer is considered as inside a BGP
confederation boundary, so the route will be announced to the peer.
@item no-advertise
@code{no-advertise} represents well-known communities value
@code{NO_ADVERTISE}@*@r{(0xFFFFFF02)}.  All routes carry this value
must not be advertise to other BGP peers.
@item local-AS
@code{local-AS} represents well-known communities value
@code{NO_EXPORT_SUBCONFED} @r{(0xFFFFFF03)}.  All routes carry this
value must not be advertised to external BGP peers.  Even if the
neighboring router is part of confederation, it is considered as
external BGP peer, so the route will not be announced to the peer.
@end table

  When BGP communities attribute is received, duplicated communities
value in the communities attribute is ignored and each communities
values are sorted in numerical order.

@node BGP Community Lists
@subsection BGP Community Lists

  BGP community list is a user defined BGP communites attribute list.
BGP community list can be used for matching or manipulating BGP
communities attribute in updates.

  There are two types of community list.  One is standard community
list and another is expanded community list.  Standard community list
defines communities attribute.  Expanded community list defines
communities attribute string with regular expression.  Standard
community list is compiled into binary format when user define it.
Standard community list will be directly compared to BGP communities
attribute in BGP updates.  Therefore the comparison is faster than
expanded community list.

@deffn Command {ip community-list standard @var{name} @{permit|deny@} @var{community}} {}
This command defines a new standard community list.  @var{community}
is communities value.  The @var{community} is compiled into community
structure.  We can define multiple community list under same name.  In
that case match will happen user defined order.  Once the
community list matches to communities attribute in BGP updates it
return permit or deny by the community list definition.  When there is
no matched entry, deny will be returned.  When @var{community} is
empty it matches to any routes.
@end deffn

@deffn Command {ip community-list expanded @var{name} @{permit|deny@} @var{line}} {}
This command defines a new expanded community list.  @var{line} is a
string expression of communities attribute.  @var{line} can include
regular expression to match communities attribute in BGP updates.
@end deffn

@deffn Command {no ip community-list @var{name}} {}
@deffnx Command {no ip community-list standard @var{name}} {}
@deffnx Command {no ip community-list expanded @var{name}} {}
These commands delete community lists specified by @var{name}.  All of
community lists shares a single name space.  So community lists can be
removed simpley specifying community lists name.
@end deffn

@deffn {Command} {show ip community-list} {}
@deffnx {Command} {show ip community-list @var{name}} {}
This command display current community list information.  When
@var{name} is specified the specified community list's information is
shown.

@example
# show ip community-list 
Named Community standard list CLIST
    permit 7675:80 7675:100 no-export
    deny internet
Named Community expanded list EXPAND
    permit :

# show ip community-list CLIST
Named Community standard list CLIST
    permit 7675:80 7675:100 no-export
    deny internet
@end example
@end deffn

@node Numbered BGP Community Lists
@subsection Numbered BGP Community Lists

  When number is used for BGP community list name, the number has
special meanings.  Community list number in the range from 1 and 99 is
standard community list.  Community list number in the range from 100
to 199 is expanded community list.  These community lists are called
as numbered community lists.  On the other hand normal community lists
is called as named community lists.

@deffn Command {ip community-list <1-99> @{permit|deny@} @var{community}} {}
This command defines a new community list.  <1-99> is standard
community list number.  Community list name within this range defines
standard community list.  When @var{community} is empty it matches to
any routes.
@end deffn

@deffn Command {ip community-list <100-199> @{permit|deny@} @var{community}} {}
This command defines a new community list.  <100-199> is expanded
community list number.  Community list name within this range defines
expanded community list.
@end deffn

@deffn Command {ip community-list @var{name} @{permit|deny@} @var{community}} {}
When community list type is not specifed, the community list type is
automatically detected.  If @var{community} can be compiled into
communities attribute, the community list is defined as a standard
community list.  Otherwise it is defined as an expanded community
list.  This feature is left for backward compability.  Use of this
feature is not recommended.
@end deffn

@node BGP Community in Route Map
@subsection BGP Community in Route Map

  In Route Map (@pxref{Route Map}), we can match or set BGP
communities attribute.  Using this feature network operator can
implement their network policy based on BGP communities attribute.

  Following commands can be used in Route Map.

@deffn {Route Map} {match community @var{word}} {}
@deffnx {Route Map} {match community @var{word} exact-match} {}
This command perform match to BGP updates using community list
@var{word}.  When the one of BGP communities value match to the one of
communities value in community list, it is match.  When
@code{exact-match} keyword is spcified, match happen only when BGP
updates have completely same communities value specified in the
community list.
@end deffn

@deffn {Route Map} {set community none} {}
@deffnx {Route Map} {set community @var{community}} {}
@deffnx {Route Map} {set community @var{community} additive} {}
This command manipulate communities value in BGP updates.  When
@code{none} is specified as communities value, it removes entire
communities attribute from BGP updates.  When @var{community} is not
@code{none}, specified communities value is set to BGP updates.  If
BGP updates already has BGP communities value, the existing BGP
communities value is replaced with specified @var{community} value.
When @code{additive} keyword is specified, @var{community} is appended
to the existing communities value.
@end deffn

@deffn {Route Map} {set comm-list @var{word} delete} {}
This command remove communities value from BGP communities attribute.
The @var{word} is community list name.  When BGP route's communities
value matches to the community list @var{word}, the communities value
is removed.  When all of communities value is removed eventually, the
BGP update's communities attribute is completely removed.
@end deffn

@node Display BGP Routes by Community
@subsection Display BGP Routes by Community

  To show BGP routes which has specific BGP communities attribute,
@code{show ip bgp} command can be used.  The @var{community} value and
community list can be used for @code{show ip bgp} command.

@deffn Command {show ip bgp community} {}
@deffnx Command {show ip bgp community @var{community}} {}
@deffnx Command {show ip bgp community @var{community} exact-match} {}
@code{show ip bgp community} displays BGP routes which has communities
attribute.  When @var{community} is specified, BGP routes that matches
@var{community} value is displayed.  For this command, @code{internet}
keyword can't be used for @var{community} value.  When
@code{exact-match} is specified, it display only routes that have an
exact match.
@end deffn

@deffn Command {show ip bgp community-list @var{word}} {}
@deffnx Command {show ip bgp community-list @var{word} exact-match} {}

@node Using BGP Communities Attribute
@subsection Using BGP Communities Attribute

  Following configuration is the most typical usage of BGP communities
attribute.  AS 7675 provides upstream Internet connection to AS 100.
When following configuration exists in AS 7675, AS 100 networks
operator can set local preference in AS 7675 network by setting BGP
communities attribute to the updates.

@example
router bgp 7675
 neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 100
 neighbor 192.168.0.1 route-map RMAP in
!
ip community-list 70 permit 7675:70
ip community-list 70 deny
ip community-list 80 permit 7675:80
ip community-list 80 deny
ip community-list 90 permit 7675:90
ip community-list 90 deny
!
route-map RMAP permit 10
 match community 70
 set local-preference 70
!
route-map RMAP permit 20
 match community 80
 set local-preference 80
!
route-map RMAP permit 30
 match community 90
 set local-preference 90
@end example

  Following configuration announce 10.0.0.0/8 from AS 100 to AS 7675.
The route has communities value 7675:80 so when above configuration
exists in AS 7675, announced route's local preference will be set to
value 80.

@example
router bgp 100
 network 10.0.0.0/8
 neighbor 192.168.0.2 remote-as 7675
 neighbor 192.168.0.2 route-map RMAP out
!
ip prefix-list PLIST permit 10.0.0.0/8
!
route-map RMAP permit 10
 match ip address prefix-list PLIST
 set community 7675:80
@end example

  Following configuration is an example of BGP route filtering using
communities attribute.  This configuration only permit BGP routes
which has BGP communities value 0:80 or 0:90.  Network operator can
put special internal communities value at BGP border router, then
limit the BGP routes announcement into the internal network.

@example
router bgp 7675
 neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 100
 neighbor 192.168.0.1 route-map RMAP in
!
ip community-list 1 permit 0:80 0:90
!
route-map RMAP permit in
 match community 1
@end example

  Following exmaple filter BGP routes which has communities value 1:1.
When there is no match community-list returns deny.  To avoid
filtering all of routes, we need to define permit any at last.

@example
router bgp 7675
 neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 100
 neighbor 192.168.0.1 route-map RMAP in
!
ip community-list standard FILTER deny 1:1
ip community-list standard FILTER permit
!
route-map RMAP permit 10
 match community FILTER
@end example

  Communities value keyword @code{internet} has special meanings in
standard community lists.  In below example @code{internet} act as
match any.  It matches all of BGP routes even if the route does not
have communities attribute at all.  So community list @code{INTERNET}
is same as above example's @code{FILTER}.

@example
ip community-list standard INTERNET deny 1:1
ip community-list standard INTERNET permit internet
@end example

  Following configuration is an example of communities value deletion.
With this configuration communities value 100:1 and 100:2 is removed
from BGP updates.  For communities value deletion, only @code{permit}
community-list is used.  @code{deny} community-list is ignored.

@example
router bgp 7675
 neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 100
 neighbor 192.168.0.1 route-map RMAP in
!
ip community-list standard DEL permit 100:1 100:2
!
route-map RMAP permit 10
 set comm-list DEL delete

@node BGP Extended Communities Attribute
@section BGP Extended Communities Attribute

  BGP extended communities attribute is introduced with MPLS VPN/BGP
technology.  MPLS VPN/BGP expands capability of network infrastructure
to provide VPN functionality.  At the same time it requires a new
framework for policy routing.  With BGP Extended Communities Attribute
we can use Route Target or Site of Origin for implementing network
policy for MPLS VPN/BGP.

  BGP Extended Communities Attribute is similar to BGP Communities
Attribute.  It is an optional transitive attribute.  BGP Extended
Communities Attribute can carry multiple Extended Community value.
Each Extended Community value is eight octet length.

  BGP Extended Communities Attribute provides an extended range
compared with BGP Communities Attribute.  Adding to that there is a
type field in each value to provides community space structure.

  There are two format to define Extended Community value.  One is AS
based format the other is IP address based format.

@table @code
@item AS:VAL
This is a format to define AS based Extended Community value.
@code{AS} part is 2 octets Global Administrator subfield in Extended
Community value.  @code{VAL} part is 4 octets Local Administrator
subfield.  @code{7675:100} represents AS 7675 policy value 100.
@item IP-Address:VAL
This is a format to define IP address based Extended Community value.
@code{IP-Address} part is 4 octets Global Administrator subfield.
@code{VAL} part is 2 octets Local Administrator subfield.
@code{10.0.0.1:100} represents

@subsection BGP Extended Community Lists

  Expanded Community Lists is a user defined BGP Expanded Community
Lists.

@deffn Command {ip extcommunity-list standard @var{name} @{permit|deny@} @var{extcommunity}} {}
This command defines a new standard extcommunity-list.
@var{extcommunity} is extended communities value.  The
@var{extcommunity} is compiled into extended community structure.  We
can define multiple extcommunity-list under same name.  In that case
match will happen user defined order.  Once the extcommunity-list
matches to extended communities attribute in BGP updates it return
permit or deny based upon the extcommunity-list definition.  When
there is no matched entry, deny will be returned.  When
@var{extcommunity} is empty it matches to any routes.
@end deffn

@deffn Command {ip extcommunity-list expanded @var{name} @{permit|deny@} @var{line}} {}
This command defines a new expanded extcommunity-list.  @var{line} is
a string expression of extended communities attribute.  @var{line} can
include regular expression to match extended communities attribute in
BGP updates.
@end deffn

@deffn Command {no ip extcommunity-list @var{name}} {}

@node Capability Negotiation
@section Capability Negotiation

  When adding IPv6 routing information exchange feature to BGP.  There
were some proposals.  @acronym{IETF} @acronym{IDR} working group finally
take a proposal called Multiprotocol Extension for BGP.  The
specification is described in RFC2283.  The protocol does not define new
protocols.  It defines new attributes to existing BGP.  When it is used
exchanging IPv6 routing information it is called BGP-4+.  When it is
used for exchanging multicast routing information it is called MBGP.

  @command{bgpd} supports Multiprotocol Extension for BGP.  So if remote peer
supports the protocol, @command{bgpd} can exchange IPv6 and/or multicast routing
information.

  Traditional BGP does not have the feature to detect remote peer's
capability whether it can handle other than IPv4 unicast routes.  This
is a big problem using Multiprotocol Extension for BGP to operational
network.  @cite{draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-cap-neg-04.txt} is proposing a
feature called Capability Negotiation.  @command{bgpd} use this Capability
Negotiation to detect remote peer's capabilities.  If the peer is only
configured as IPv4 unicast neighbor, @command{bgpd} does not send these Capability
Negotiation packets.

  By default, Quagga will bring up peering with minimal common capability
for the both sides.  For example, local router has unicast and multicast 
capabilitie and remote router has unicast capability.  In this case,
the local router will establish the connection with unicast only capability.
When there are no common capabilities, Quagga sends Unsupported Capability
error and then resets the connection.

  If you want to completely match capabilities with remote peer.  Please
use @command{strict-capability-match} command.
  
@deffn {BGP} {neighbor @var{peer} strict-capability-match} {}
@deffnx {BGP} {no neighbor @var{peer} strict-capability-match} {}
Strictly compares remote capabilities and local capabilities.  If capabilities
are different, send Unsupported Capability error then reset connection.
@end deffn

  You may want to disable sending Capability Negotiation OPEN message
optional parameter to the peer when remote peer does not implement
Capability Negotiation.  Please use @command{dont-capability-negotiate}
command to disable the feature.

@deffn {BGP} {neighbor @var{peer} dont-capability-negotiate} {}
@deffnx {BGP} {no neighbor @var{peer} dont-capability-negotiate} {}
Suppress sending Capability Negotiation as OPEN message optional
parameter to the peer.  This command only affects the peer is configured
other than IPv4 unicast configuration.
@end deffn

  When remote peer does not have capability negotiation feature, remote
peer will not send any capabilities at all.  In that case, bgp configures
the peer with configured capabilities.

  You may prefer locally configured capabilities more than the negotiated
capabilities even though remote peer sends capabilities.  If the peer is
configured by @command{override-capability}, @command{bgpd} ignores received
capabilities then override negotiated capabilities with configured values.

@deffn {BGP} {neighbor @var{peer} override-capability} {}
@deffnx {BGP} {no neighbor @var{peer} override-capability} {}
Override the result of Capability Negotiation with local configuration.
Ignore remote peer's capability value.

@node Route Server
@section Route Server

At an Internet Exchange point, many ISPs are connected to each other by
external BGP peering.  Normally these external BGP connection are done by
@code{full mesh} method.  As with internal BGP full mesh formation,
this method has a scaling problem.

This scaling problem is well known.  Route Server is a method to resolve
the problem.  Each ISP's BGP router only peers to Route Server.  Route
Server serves as BGP information exchange to other BGP routers.  By
applying this method, numbers of BGP connections is reduced from
O(n*(n-1)/2) to O(n).

Unlike normal BGP router, Route Server must have several routing tables
for managing different routing policies for each BGP speaker.  We call the
routing tables as different @code{view}s.  @command{bgpd} can work as
normal BGP router or Route Server or both at the same time.

@node Multiple instance
@subsection Multiple instance

To enable multiple view function of @code{bgpd}, you must turn on
multiple instance feature beforehand.

@deffn {Command} {bgp multiple-instance} {}
Enable BGP multiple instance feature.  After this feature is enabled,
you can make multiple BGP instances or multiple BGP views.
@end deffn

@deffn {Command} {no bgp multiple-instance} {}
Disable BGP multiple instance feature.  You can not disable this feature
when BGP multiple instances or views exist.
@end deffn

When you want to make configuration more Cisco like one, 

@deffn {Command} {bgp config-type cisco} {}
Cisco compatible BGP configuration output.
@end deffn

When bgp config-type cisco is specified, 

``no synchronization'' is displayed.
``no auto-summary'' is desplayed.

``network'' and ``aggregate-address'' argument is displayed as
``A.B.C.D M.M.M.M''

Quagga: network 10.0.0.0/8
Cisco: network 10.0.0.0

Quagga: aggregate-address 192.168.0.0/24
Cisco: aggregate-address 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0

Community attribute handling is also different.  If there is no
configuration is specified community attribute and extended community
attribute are sent to neighbor.  When user manually disable the
feature community attribute is not sent to the neighbor.  In case of
``bgp config-type cisco'' is specified, community attribute is not
sent to the neighbor by default.  To send community attribute user has
to specify ``neighbor A.B.C.D send-community'' command.

@node BGP instance and view
@subsection BGP instance and view

BGP instance is a normal BGP process.  The result of route selection
goes to the kernel routing table.  You can setup different AS at the
same time when BGP multiple instance feature is enabled.

@deffn {Command} {router bgp @var{as-number}} {}
Make a new BGP instance.  You can use arbitrary word for the @var{name}.
@end deffn

@example
@group
bgp multiple-instance
!
router bgp 1
 neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 2
 neighbor 10.0.0.2 remote-as 3
!
router bgp 2
 neighbor 10.0.0.3 remote-as 4
 neighbor 10.0.0.4 remote-as 5
@end group
@end example

BGP view is almost same as normal BGP process. The result of
route selection does not go to the kernel routing table.  BGP view is
only for exchanging BGP routing information.

@deffn {Command} {router bgp @var{as-number} view @var{name}} {}
Make a new BGP view.  You can use arbitrary word for the @var{name}.  This
view's route selection result does not go to the kernel routing table.
@end deffn

With this command, you can setup Route Server like below.

@example
@group
bgp multiple-instance
!
router bgp 1 view 1
 neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 2
 neighbor 10.0.0.2 remote-as 3
!
router bgp 2 view 2
 neighbor 10.0.0.3 remote-as 4
 neighbor 10.0.0.4 remote-as 5
@end group
@end example

@node Routing policy
@subsection Routing policy

You can set different routing policy for a peer.  For example, you can
set different filter for a peer.

@example
@group
bgp multiple-instance
!
router bgp 1 view 1
 neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 2
 neighbor 10.0.0.1 distribute-list 1 in
!
router bgp 1 view 2
 neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 2
 neighbor 10.0.0.1 distribute-list 2 in
@end group
@end example

This means BGP update from a peer 10.0.0.1 goes to both BGP view 1 and view
2.  When the update is inserted into view 1, distribute-list 1 is
applied.  On the other hand, when the update is inserted into view 2,
distribute-list 2 is applied.

@node Viewing the view
@subsection Viewing the view

To display routing table of BGP view, you must specify view name.

@deffn {Command} {show ip bgp view @var{name}} {}
Display routing table of BGP view @var{name}.
