BGP

BGP is a path vector routing protocol. He care about how many AS path numbers to pass not routers that why path vector protocol. BGP uses TCP port 179. We need to advertise exact network at BGP if not we don't see any network. We shouldn't forget about TTL of BGP. eBGP TTL is 1 and iBGP TTL is 255.

BGP have 6 states:
1. Idle
    Process shutdown or waiting for next retry.

2. Connect
    Waiting for TCP connection to complete.

3. Active
    TCP conection ready, No BGP messages sent.

4. Opensent.
    Open message send.

5. Openconfirm
    Receive open message from neighbor.

6. Established
    Finish peering and start routing.

eBGP and iBGP is difference only two word, between and within.

eBGP AD 20.
iBGP AD 200.

Difference AS but want to advertise as a same AS use confederation.

OSPF Virtual Link

OSPF Virtual Link OSPF virtual link is use for that area far from backbone area 0. At this figure 1.1 area 2 is far from area 0 so area 2 can't reach other area. Figure 1.1 After configure OSPF, neighbor is up but router 2 don't see 3.3.3.0/24 network. R3#sh ip ospf nei Neighbor ID     Pri   State           Dead Time   Address         Interface 2.2.2.2           1   FULL/DR         00:00:39    10.1.2.1        FastEthernet0/0 R2#sh ip route      10.0.0.0/30 is subnetted, 2 subnets C       10.1.2.0 is directly connected, FastEthernet1/0 C       10.1.1.0 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0 One of OSPF rule all area must connect to area 0.In this cause we can use virtual link at area 1.

OSPF Stub

The following restrictions apply to stub areas:     You cannot create a virtual link through a stub area.   A stub area cannot contain an AS boundary router.   You cannot configure the backbone as a stub area.   You cannot configure an area as both a stub area and an not-so-stubby area (NSSA).

Why does OSPF need backbone area?

Why does OSPF require all traffic between non-backbone areas to pass through a backbone area (area 0)?   Because inter-area OSPF is distance vector, it is vulnerable to routing loops. It avoids loops by mandating a loop-free inter-area topology, in which traffic from one area can only reach another area through area 0.
