Example: Establish BGP unnumbered session

Procedure:

Step 1. Initialize FRR configuration. Please refer to FRRouting and config initialization tutorial.

Step 2. Configure IP address properly for BGP session. Please refer to Management and front port IPv4/IPv6 Address tutorial.

Step 3. Enter Vty shell.

admin@sonic:~$ vtysh
Hello, this is FRRouting (version 7.2.1-sonic).

sonic#

Note: vtysh provides a combined frontend to all FRR daemons in a single combined session.

Step 4. Configuring BGP Neighbor Session with unnumbered

Switch#1's setting.
sonic# configure terminal
sonic(config)# router bgp 65000 --> Assign AS number
sonic(config-router)#bgp router-id 3.3.3.3 --> Assign router ID
sonic(config-router)# neighbor Ethernet0 interface remote 65001 --> Assign locally connect port

Switch#2's setting.
sonic# configure terminal 
sonic(config)# router bgp 65001 --> Assign AS number
sonic(config-router)# bgp router-id 4.4.4.4 --> Assign router ID
sonic(config-router)# neighbor Ethernet56 interface remote 65000 --> Assign locally connect port

Note:  

  1. AS (autonomous systems) is a unique identifier and it used to exchange routing information with other AS.
    Its available pool of 16-bit AS numbers.
    1 ~ 64511 reserve to the public, you need to apply for it form IANA ( Internet Assigned Numbers Authority)
    64512~ 65534 reserve for private.
    Since AS numbers are not enough, IANA extended the AS Number field to 32 bits in size.
    131072 - 4199999999 reserve for public and 4200000000-4294967294 reserve for private.
  2. Router ID is used to identify routers in AS(autonomous systems). 
    Caution: Router ID must be unique for each BGP router in the network.  Otherwise, it's failed to establish BGP session.
  3. The AS number of neighbors, you could assign the AS number of neighbors. The "external" is to eBGP and the "internal" is to iBGP. 
eBGP:
sonic(config-router)# neighbor Ethernet8 interface remote-as external
iBGP:
sonic(config-router)# neighbor Ethernet8 interface remote-as internal

Step 5. Checking the BGP connection and neighbor status.
