BGP on Logical Systems
Logical Systems enable you to configure the internal BGP sessions. For more information, see the following topics:
Example: Configuring Internal BGP Peering Sessions on Logical Systems
This example shows how to configure internal BGP peer sessions on logical systems.
Requirements
In this example, no special configuration beyond device initialization is required.
Overview
In this example, you configure internal BGP (IBGP) peering sessions.
In the sample network, the devices in AS 17 are fully meshed in the group internal-peers. The devices have loopback addresses 192.168.6.5, 192.163.6.4, and 192.168.40.4.
Figure 1 shows a typical network with internal peer sessions.

Step-by-Step Procedure
The following example requires you to navigate various levels in the configuration hierarchy. For information about navigating the CLI, see Using the CLI Editor in Configuration Mode in the CLI User Guide.
To configure internal BGP peer sessions on Device A:
Configure the interfaces.

Configure BGP.
On Logical System A, the
neighborstatements are included for both Device B and Device C, even though Logical System A is not directly connected to Device C.[edit logical-systems A protocols bgp group internal-peers] user@R1# set type internal user@R1# set local-address 192.168.6.5 user@R1# set export send-direct user@R1# set neighbor 192.163.6.4 user@R1# set neighbor 192.168.40.4 [edit logical-systems B protocols bgp group internal-peers] user@R1# set type internal user@R1# set local-address 192.163.6.4 user@R1# set export send-direct user@R1# set neighbor 192.168.40.4 user@R1# set neighbor 192.168.6.5 [edit logical-systems C protocols bgp group internal-peers] user@R1# set type internal user@R1# set local-address 192.168.40.4 user@R1# set export send-direct user@R1# set neighbor 192.163.6.4 user@R1# set neighbor 192.168.6.5
Configure OSPF.
[edit logical-systems A protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0] user@R1# set interface lo0.1 passive user@R1# set interface lt-0/1/0.1 [edit logical-systems A protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0] user@R1# set interface lo0.2 passive user@R1# set interface lt-0/1/0.2 user@R1# set interface lt-0/1/0.5 [edit logical-systems A protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0] user@R1# set interface lo0.3 passive user@R1# set interface lt-0/1/0.6
Configure a policy that accepts direct routes.
Other useful options for this scenario might be to accept routes learned through OSPF or local routes.
[edit logical-systems A policy-options policy-statement send-direct term 2] user@R1# set from protocol direct user@R1# set then accept [edit logical-systems B policy-options policy-statement send-direct term 2] user@R1# set from protocol direct user@R1# set then accept [edit logical-systems C policy-options policy-statement send-direct term 2] user@R1# set from protocol direct user@R1# set then accept
Configure the router ID and the autonomous system (AS) number.

This example shows how to configure external BGP (EBGP) point-to-point peer sessions on logical systems with IPv6 interfaces.
Requirements
In this example, no special configuration beyond device initialization is required.
Overview
Junos OS supports EBGP peer sessions by means of IPv6 addresses.
An IPv6 peer session can be configured when an IPv6 address is specified
in the neighbor statement. This example uses EUI-64 to
generate IPv6 addresses that are automatically applied to the interfaces.
An EUI-64 address is an IPv6 address that uses the IEEE EUI-64 format
for the interface identifier portion of the address (the last 64 bits).
Alternatively, you can configure EBGP sessions using manually assigned 128-bit IPv6 addresses.
If you use 128-bit link-local addresses for the interfaces,
you must include the local-interface statement. This statement
is valid only for 128-bit IPv6 link-local addresses and is mandatory
for configuring an IPv6 EBGP link-local peer session.
Configuring EBGP peering using link-local addresses is only applicable for directly connected interfaces. There is no support for multihop peering.
After your interfaces are up, you can use the show interfaces
terse command to view the EUI-64-generated IPv6 addresses on
the interfaces. You must use these generated addresses in the BGP neighbor statements. This example demonstrates the full end-to-end
procedure.
In this example, Frame Relay interface encapsulation is applied to the logical tunnel (lt) interfaces. This is a requirement because only Frame Relay encapsulation is supported when IPv6 addresses are configured on the lt interfaces.
Figure 2 shows a network with BGP peer sessions. In the sample network, Router R1 has five logical systems configured. Device E in autonomous system (AS) 17 has BGP peer sessions to a group of peers called external-peers. Peers A, B, and C reside in AS 22. This example shows the step-by-step configuration on Logical System A and Logical System E.

Step-by-Step Procedure
The following example requires you to navigate various levels in the configuration hierarchy. For information about navigating the CLI, see Using the CLI Editor in Configuration Mode in the CLI User Guide.
To configure the BGP peer sessions:
Run the
show interfaces tersecommand to verify that the physical router has a logical tunnel (lt) interface.user@R1> show interfaces terse Interface Admin Link Proto Local Remote ... lt-0/1/0 up up ...
On Logical System A, configure the interface encapsulation, peer-unit number, and DLCI to reach Logical System E.
user@R1> set cli logical-system A Logical system: A [edit] user@R1:A> edit Entering configuration mode [edit] user@R1:A# edit interfaces [edit interfaces] user@R1:A# set lt-0/1/0 unit 1 encapsulation frame-relay user@R1:A# set lt-0/1/0 unit 1 dlci 1 user@R1:A# set lt-0/1/0 unit 1 peer-unit 25
On Logical System A, configure the network address for the link to Peer E, and configure a loopback interface.
[edit interfaces] user@R1:A# set lt-0/1/0 unit 1 description to-E user@R1:A# set lt-0/1/0 unit 1 family inet6 address 2001:db8:0:1::/64 eui-64 user@R1:A# set lo0 unit 1 family inet6 address 2001:db8::1/128
On Logical System E, configure the interface encapsulation, peer-unit number, and DLCI to reach Logical System A.

Run the
show interfaces tersecommand to see the IPv6 addresses that are generated by EUI-64.The 2001 addresses are used in this example in the BGP
neighborstatements.Note:The fe80 addresses are link-local addresses and are not used in this example.

Configuring the External BGP Sessions
Step-by-Step Procedure
The following example requires you to navigate various levels in the configuration hierarchy. For information about navigating the CLI, see Using the CLI Editor in Configuration Mode in the CLI User Guide.
To configure the BGP peer sessions:
On Logical System A, create the BGP group, and add the external neighbor address.
[edit protocols bgp group external-peers] user@R1:A# set neighbor 2001:db8:0:1:2a0:a502:0:19da user@R1:A# set family inet6 unicast
On Logical System E, create the BGP group, and add the external neighbor address.
[edit protocols bgp group external-peers] user@R1:E# set neighbor 2001:db8:0:1:2a0:a502:0:1da user@R1:E# set family inet6 unicast
On Logical System A, specify the autonomous system (AS) number of the external AS.
[edit protocols bgp group external-peers] user@R1:A# set peer-as 17
On Logical System E, specify the autonomous system (AS) number of the external AS.
[edit protocols bgp group external-peers] user@R1:E# set peer-as 22
On Logical System A, set the peer type to EBGP.
[edit protocols bgp group external-peers] user@R1:A# set type external
On Logical System E, set the peer type to EBGP.
[edit protocols bgp group external-peers] user@R1:E# set type external
On Logical System A, set the autonomous system (AS) number and router ID.
[edit routing-options] user@R1:A# set router-id 172.16.1.1 user@R1:A# set autonomous-system 22
On Logical System E, set the AS number and router ID.
[edit routing-options] user@R1:E# set router-id 172.16.5.5 user@R1:E# set autonomous-system 17
Repeat these steps for Peers A, B, C, and D.
Results
From configuration mode, confirm your configuration
by entering the show logical-systems command. If the output
does not display the intended configuration, repeat the instructions
in this example to correct the configuration.

The inet6.0 routing table contains local and direct routes. To populate the routing table with other types of routes, you must configure routing policies.
Example: Configuring BFD on Internal BGP Peer Sessions
This example shows how to configure internal BGP (IBGP) peer sessions with the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol to detect failures in a network.
Requirements
No special configuration beyond device initialization is required before you configure this example.
Overview
The minimum configuration to enable BFD on IBGP sessions is
to include the bfd-liveness-detection minimum-interval statement
in the BGP configuration of all neighbors participating in the BFD
session. The minimum-interval statement specifies the minimum
transmit and receive intervals for failure detection. Specifically,
this value represents the minimum interval after which the local routing
device transmits hello packets as well as the minimum interval that
the routing device expects to receive a reply from a neighbor with
which it has established a BFD session. You can configure a value
from 1 through 255,000 milliseconds.
Optionally, you can specify the minimum transmit and receive
intervals separately using the transmit-interval minimum-interval and minimum-receive-interval statements. For information
about these and other optional BFD configuration statements, see bfd-liveness-detection.
BFD is an intensive protocol that consumes system resources. Specifying a minimum interval for BFD less than 100 milliseconds for Routing Engine-based sessions and less than 10 milliseconds for distributed BFD sessions can cause undesired BFD flapping.
Depending on your network environment, these additional recommendations might apply:
To prevent BFD flapping during the general Routing Engine switchover event, specify a minimum interval of 5000 milliseconds for Routing Engine-based sessions. This minimum value is required because, during the general Routing Engine switchover event, processes such as RPD, MIBD, and SNMPD utilize CPU resources for more than the specified threshold value. Hence, BFD processing and scheduling is affected because of this lack of CPU resources.
For BFD sessions to remain up during the dual chassis cluster control link scenario, when the first control link fails, specify the minimum interval of 6000 milliseconds to prevent the LACP from flapping on the secondary node for Routing Engine-based sessions.
For large-scale network deployments with a large number of BFD sessions, specify a minimum interval of 300 milliseconds for Routing Engine-based sessions and 100 milliseconds for distributed BFD sessions.
For very large-scale network deployments with a large number of BFD sessions, contact Juniper Networks customer support for more information.
For BFD sessions to remain up during a Routing Engine switchover event when nonstop active routing (NSR) is configured, specify a minimum interval of 2500 milliseconds for Routing Engine-based sessions. For distributed BFD sessions with NSR configured, the minimum interval recommendations are unchanged and depend only on your network deployment.
BFD is supported on the default routing instance (the main router), routing instances, and logical systems. This example shows BFD on logical systems.
Figure 3 shows a typical network with internal peer sessions.

Verifying That BFD Is Enabled
Purpose
Verify that BFD is enabled between the IBGP peers.
Action
From operational mode, enter the show bgp neighbor command. You can use the | match bfd filter to narrow
the output.
user@host:A> show bgp neighbor | match bfd Options: <BfdEnabled> BFD: enabled, up Trace file: /var/log/A/bgp-bfd size 131072 files 10 Options: <BfdEnabled> BFD: enabled, up Trace file: /var/log/A/bgp-bfd size 131072 files 10
Meaning
The output shows that Logical System A has two neighbors
with BFD enabled. When BFD is not enabled, the output displays BFD: disabled, down, and the <BfdEnabled> option
is absent. If BFD is enabled and the session is down, the output displays BFD: enabled, down. The output also shows that BFD-related
events are being written to a log file because trace operations are
configured.
Verifying That BFD Sessions Are Up
Purpose
Verify that the BFD sessions are up, and view details about the BFD sessions.

Example: Configuring EBGP Multihop Sessions on Logical Systems
This example shows how to configure an external BGP (EBGP) peer that is more than one hop away from the local router. This type of session is called a multihop EBGP session.
Requirements
In this example, no special configuration beyond device initialization is required.
Overview
When EBGP peers are not directly connected to each other, they must cross one or more non-BGP routing devices to reach each other. Configuring multihop EBGP enables the peers to pass through the other routing devices to form peer relationships and exchange update messages. This type of configuration is typically used when a Juniper Networks routing device needs to run EBGP with a third-party routing device that does not allow direct connection of the two EBGP peers. EBGP multihop enables a neighbor connection between two EBGP peers that do not have a direct connection.
The configuration to enable multihop EBGP sessions requires connectivity between the two EBGP peers. This example uses static routes to provide connectivity between the devices.
For directly connected EBGP sessions, physical addresses are typically used in the neighbor statements. For multihop EBGP, you must use loopback interface addresses, and specify the loopback interface address of the indirectly connected peer. In the use of loopback interfaces addresses, EBGP multihop is similar to internal BGP (IBGP).
Finally, you must add the multihop statement. Optionally, you can set a maximum time-to-live (TTL) value with the ttl statement. The TTL is carried in the IP header of BGP packets. If you do not specify a TTL value, the system’s default maximum TTL value is used. The default TTL value is 64 for multihop EBGP sessions. Another option is to retain the BGP next-hop value for route advertisements by including the no-nexthop-change statement.
Figure 4 shows a typical EBGP multihop network.
Device C and Device E have an established EBGP session. Device D is not a BGP-enabled device. All of the devices have connectivity via static routes.

Verification
Confirm that the configuration is working properly.
Verifying Connectivity
Purpose
Make sure that Device C can ping Device E, specifying the loopback interface address as the source of the ping request.
The loopback interface address is the source address that BGP will be using.
Action
From operational mode, enter the ping 10.10.10.14 source 192.168.40.4 command from Logical System C, and enter the ping 10.10.10.9 source 192.168.6.7 command from Logical System E.
user@host:C> ping 10.10.10.14 source 192.168.40.4PING 10.10.10.14 (10.10.10.14): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 10.10.10.14: icmp_seq=0 ttl=63 time=1.262 ms 64 bytes from 10.10.10.14: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=1.202 ms ^C --- 10.10.10.14 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.202/1.232/1.262/0.030 ms
user@host:E> ping 10.10.10.9 source 192.168.6.7PING 10.10.10.9 (10.10.10.9): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 10.10.10.9: icmp_seq=0 ttl=63 time=1.255 ms 64 bytes from 10.10.10.9: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=1.158 ms ^C --- 10.10.10.9 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.158/1.206/1.255/0.049 ms
Meaning
The static routes are working if the pings work.
Verifying the BGP Sessions Are Established
Purpose
Verify that the BGP sessions are up.
Action
From operational mode, enter the show bgp summary command.
user@host:C> show bgp summaryGroups: 1 Peers: 1 Down peers: 0 Table Tot Paths Act Paths Suppressed History Damp State Pending inet.0 2 0 0 0 0 0 Peer AS InPkt OutPkt OutQ Flaps Last Up/Dwn State|#Active/Received/Accepted/Damped... 192.168.6.7 18 147 147 0 1 1:04:27 0/2/2/0 0/0/0/0

Meaning
The output shows that both devices have one peer each. No peers are down.
Viewing Advertised Routes
Purpose
Checking to make sure that routes are being advertised by BGP.
Action
From operational mode, enter the show route advertising-protocol bgp neighbor command.
user@host:C> show route advertising-protocol bgp 192.168.6.7inet.0: 5 destinations, 7 routes (5 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden) Prefix Nexthop MED Lclpref AS path * 10.10.10.14/32 Self I * 192.168.6.7/32 Self I
user@host:E> show route advertising-protocol bgp 192.168.40.4 inet.0: 5 destinations, 7 routes (5 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden) Prefix Nexthop MED Lclpref AS path * 10.10.10.8/30 Self I * 192.168.40.4/32 Self I
Meaning
The send-static routing policy is exporting the static routes from the routing table into BGP. BGP is advertising these routes between the peers because the BGP peer session is established.
