BGP Information Menu
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) enables routers on a network to share and advertise routing information with each other about the segments of the IP address space they can access within their network, and with routers on external networks. BGP allows you to decide what is the “best” route for a packet to take from your network to a destination on another network, rather than simply setting a default route from your border routers to your upstream providers. BGP is defined in RFC 1771.
Alteon can advertise its IP interfaces and virtual server IP addresses using BGP and take BGP feeds from as many as 16 BGP router peers. This allows more resilience and flexibility in balancing traffic from the Internet.
For more information, see /cfg/l3/bgp Border Gateway Protocol Configuration, and the section on BGP in the Alteon Command Line Interface Application Guide.
