BGP Management

Note

The routing windows cannot be opened when multiple objects are selected (the menu options to open the
windows are grayed out). Available menu options can be launched from a site object containing the
required objects, when required.

BGP Management

BGP is an interautonomous system routing protocol that is used to exchange routing information for the
internet. The customers connect to the Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and the ISPs use BGP to
exchange customer and ISP routing information. When BGP is used between autonomous systems (AS),
the protocol is referred to as External BGP (EBGP). If a service provider is using BGP to exchange
routes within an AS, then the protocol is referred to as Interior BGP (IBGP).

BGP uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) as its transport protocol. Any two routers that have
opened a TCP connection to each other for the purpose of exchanging routing information are known as
peers or neighbor.
