BGP questions

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

I’m start using BGP, it works but and I have some questions. Please help.

1., I use BGP in my own network, I don’t have own AS number (yet). I use differenct AS number in my router. Is it good idea, or I use same?

2., How can I advertise default gateway(s)?

3., I public connected and static. Is it enough? Is it a lot?

4., I use router-id parameter, is it needed?

5., I use multihop, if the other router is not the directly neighbour. Is it good? What can i do, if I have a triangle with 3 router?

6., Can I priorize?

thank you.

  1. There are private / reserved AS numbers that you can use internally. You should use a single AS number for each of your autonomous systems.

  2. Never tried this - but it should be as simple as letting it export static routes. You might get into looping or something if this isn’t setup right.

  3. Sure, its enough.

  4. If you leave it blank it uses the lowest numbered IP. This is fine.

  5. Mutlihop is required if your more than 1 hop away from the peer.

  6. What do you want to prioritize ?
