BGP route summarization configuration example

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 65, run EBGP between Switch C and Switch D, so the internal network and external network can communicate with each other.

Configuration procedure

  1. Configure IP addresses for interfaces. (Details not shown.)

  2. Configure static routing between Switch A and Switch B:

    # Configure a default route with the next hop 192.168.212.1 on Switch A.

    <SwitchA> system-view
    [SwitchA] ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0 192.168.212.1
    

    # Configure static routes to 192.168.64.0/24, 192.168.74.0/24, and 192.168.99.0/24 with the same next hop 192.168.212.161 on Switch B.

    <SwitchB> system-view
    [SwitchB] ip route-static 192.168.64.0 24 192.168.212.161
    [SwitchB] ip route-static 192.168.74.0 24 192.168.212.161
    [SwitchB] ip route-static 192.168.99.0 24 192.168.212.161
    
  3. Configure OSPF between Switch B and Switch C and configure OSPF on Switch B to redistribute static routes:

    # Configure OSPF to advertise the local network and enable OSPF to redistribute static routes on Switch B.

    [SwitchB] ospf
    [SwitchB-ospf-1] area 0
    [SwitchB-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] network 172.17.100.0 0.0.0.255
    [SwitchB-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] quit
    [SwitchB-ospf-1] import-route static
    [SwitchB-ospf-1] quit
    

    # Configure OSPF to advertise the local networks on Switch C.

    [SwitchC] ospf
    [SwitchC-ospf-1] area 0
    [SwitchC-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] network 172.17.100.0 0.0.0.255
    [SwitchC-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] network 10.220.2.0 0.0.0.255
    [SwitchC-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] quit
    [SwitchC-ospf-1] quit
    

    # Display the IP routing table on Switch C.

    [SwitchC] display ip routing-table protocol ospf

    The output shows that Switch C has learned routes to 192.168.64.0/24, 192.168.99.0/24, and 192.168.64.0/18 through OSPF.

  4. Configure BGP between Switch C and Switch D and configure BGP on Switch C to redistribute OSPF routes:

    # On Switch C, enable BGP, specify Switch D as an EBGP peer, and configure BGP to redistribute OSPF routes.

    [SwitchC] bgp 65106
    [SwitchC-bgp] router-id 3.3.3.3
    [SwitchC-bgp] peer 10.220.2.217 as-number 64631
    [SwitchC-bgp] address-family ipv4 unicast
    [SwitchC-bgp-ipv4] peer 10.220.2.217 enable
    [SwitchC-bgp-ipv4] import-route ospf
    

    # Enable BGP, and configure Switch C as an EBGP peer on Switch D.

    [SwitchD] bgp 64631
    [SwitchD-bgp] router-id 4.4.4.4
    [SwitchD-bgp] peer 10.220.2.16 as-number 65106
    [SwitchD-bgp] address-family ipv4 unicast
    [SwitchD-bgp-ipv4] peer 10.220.2.16 enable
    [SwitchD-bgp-ipv4] quit
    [SwitchD-bgp] quit
    

    # Display the IP routing table on Switch D.

    [SwitchD] display ip routing-table protocol bgp

    BGP Routing table Status : <Inactive>
    Summary Count : 0
    

    The output shows that Switch D has learned routes to 192.168.64.0/24, 192.168.74.0/24, and 192.168.99.0/24 through BGP.

    # Verify that Switch D can ping hosts on networks 192.168.74.0/24, 192.168.99.0/24, and 192.168.64.0/18. (Details not shown.)

  5. Configure route summarization on Switch C to summarize 192.168.64.0/24, 192.168.74.0/24, and 192.168.99.0/24 into a single route 192.168.64.0/18 on Switch C, and disable advertisement of specific routes.

    [SwitchC-bgp-ipv4] aggregate 192.168.64.0 18 detail-suppressed
    [SwitchC-bgp-ipv4] quit
    [SwitchC-bgp] quit

The output shows that Switch C has a summary route 192.168.64.0/18 with the output interface Null0.

# Display IP routing table on Switch D.

[SwitchD] display ip routing-table protocol bgp
