Scenario 7-2: Configuring Advanced BGP Route Reflectors

Figure 7-4 displays a typical dual-homed BGP network and expands upon the network in Scenario 7-1. OSPF is the interior routing protocol used on routers R1–R5, and each router is assigned a loopback address of the form 131.108.254.1 for R1, 131.108.254.2 for R2, 131.108.253.3 for R3, 131.108.254.4 for R4, and 131.108.254.5 for R5.

Figure 7-4. Scenario 7-2 Physical Topology

Ensure that as long as there is IP connectivity, the IBGP sessions are established to R1 and R2.

The two routers, R1 and R2, have one connection to the Internet through Serial 1/0. Figure 7-4 displays the physical topology. ...
