BGP Juniper

Juniper BGP Config Example for Customers, Transit and Peers

Due to the ease of configuring bgp, it is easy to leave out critical steps that will result in some unintended

consequences. There are a number of cases that exist persistently in the routing tables where some small

network is actually connecting two "larger" networks together for some routes/prefixes for various

reasons.

As a result of this, and the ease of these errors/mistakes, we wanted to provide a few simple examples that

would ease most networks configuration needs and provide a common reference.

These examples cover a few basic bgp related topics, including:

import and export policy uses

prefix-lists

example uses of communities

local-preference
