Implementing BGP on Cisco IOS XR Software

This document provides essential conceptual and configuration information for implementing Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) on Cisco IOS XR Software. BGP is an Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) crucial for establishing loop-free interdomain routing between autonomous systems, enabling efficient data packet exchange across different network domains.

Explore detailed insights into BGP functionalities, including feature history across various releases, prerequisites for setup, functional overviews, and critical configuration aspects. Learn about BGP router identifiers, default limits, next-hop tracking mechanisms, and various configuration modes and templates available within Cisco IOS XR. The guide also covers route policy enforcement, autonomous system number formats, and advanced tuning techniques to optimize network performance and stability.
