! Our ASN is 111
router bgp 111
!
! Set graceful restart-time to 120 and stalepath-time to 360 for route handling optimization.
! Time listed is in seconds
bgp graceful-restart
!
! Don't wait for the IGP to catch up.
no synchronization
!
! Be a little more forgiving of an occasional missed keepalive.
no bgp fast-external-fallover
!
! Track and punt, via syslog, all interesting observations about our
! neighbors.
bgp log-neighbor-changes
!
! Set Maximum AS-Path Prepends to 10 to limit an insane number of prepends.
! The Cisco IOS command, which would limit prepends to a sane level would be :
bgp maxas-limit 10
! (supported from 12.2, 12.0(17)S, 12.2(33)SRA, 12.2SX and upwards, see
! http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/iproute/command/reference/irp_bgp1.html#wp1013932
! for more details)
!
! Announce our netblock(s) in a manner that does not increase CPU
! utilization. Redistributing from an IGP is dangerous as it increases
! the likelihood of flapping and instability. Redistributing static is
! more stable, but requires the CPU to peruse the routing table at a set
! interval to capture any changes. The network statement, combined with
! a null route, is the least expensive (in terms of CPU utilization) and
! most reliable (in terms of stability) option.
network 1.88.0.0 mask 255.255.224.0
!
! Our first neighbor, 10.10.5.1, is an eBGP peer with the ASN of 333.

! Set for soft reconfiguration, thus preventing a complete withdrawal
! of all announced prefixes when clear ip bgp x.x.x.x is typed.

! Type in a description for future reference. Not everyone memorizes
! ASNs. :-)

!
! Hard-set for version 4. Disabled BGP version negotiation, thus
! bringing the peering session on-line more quickly.
neighbor 10.10.5.1 version 4
!
! Block any inbound announcments that include bogon networks. A prefix
! list is used because it is:
!  1) Easier on the CPU than ACLs, and
!  2) Easier to modify.
! See the actual bogons prefix-list below.
neighbor 10.10.5.1 prefix-list bogons in
!
! Announce only those networks we specifically list. This also prevents
! the network from becoming a transit provider. An added bit of protection
! and good netizenship. See the announce prefix-list below.
neighbor 10.10.5.1 prefix-list announce out
!
! Prevent a mistake or mishap by our peer (or someone with whom our peer
! has a peering agreement) from causing router meltdown by filling the
! routing and BGP tables. This is a hard limit. At 75% of this limit,
! the IOS will issue log messages warning that the neighbor is approaching
! the limit. All log messages should be sent to a remote syslog host.
! The warning water mark can be modified by placing a value after the
! maximum prefix value, e.g. maximum-prefix 250000 50. This will set the
! IOS to issue warning messages when the neighbor reaches 50% of the limit.
! Note that this number may need to be adjusted upward in the future to
! account for growth in the Internet routing table.

! Team Cymru has removed all static bogon references from this template
! due to the high probability that the application of these bogon filters
! will be a one-time event. Unfortunately many of these templates are
! applied and never re-visited, despite our dire warnings that bogons do
! change.
!
! This doesn't mean bogon filtering can't be accomplished in an automated
! manner. Why not consider peering with our globally distributed bogon
! route-server project? Alternately you can obtain a current and well
! maintained bogon feed from our DNS and RADb services. Read more at the
