BGP task #3. Best path selection

Topology:



Use configuration from BGP task #2 as initial configuration for this task.

Requirements: 

*You may need to remove or alter parts of configuration from the previous task. 

1. Routers in AS12 should send traffic towards AS8 using link R3-R7 as primary option, R3-R6 as         secondary option and R1-R5 as last resort. 
2. AS67 should be able to signal to AS12 the preferred entry point (R7 or R6), for network 67.0/16.       Use  an optional nontransitive path attribute to complete this task. 
3. AS67 and AS5 are the service-providers for AS12. AS67 and AS5 should not use AS12 to reach         any networks, except networks owned by AS12. 
4. AS5, AS8 and AS67 shall use link R3-R7  to reach AS12 as primary option. If this link is                   unavailable, use link R3-R6. Use link R1-R5 as last resort. Use a well-known mandatory path             attribute to complete this requirement. 

Solution:

Highlight the text below to reveal the solution.

This task requires understanding of best-path selection using AS-PATH, Local-Preference & MED attributes. It also requires understanding of well-known communities.

Requirement #1 - change the inbound policy on R3 and R1 from the previous task, to only set local-preference for prefix 8.0/16. 
Requirement #2 - routers R6 and R7 should set a MED attribute when advertising prefix 67.0/16 to AS12. Lower MED value is preferred. 
Requirement #3 - to prevent the "client" autonomous-system from being used as a transit, service-providers should set a well-known "no-export" community to prefixes advertised to the client. 
Requirement #4 - configure outbound policy on R1 and R3 to set as-path prepend on prefixes advertised to AS5 and AS67.
