This is a simple lab which demonstrates the requirements of bgp external peerings

we have got two routers on 172.16.1.0/24 subnet

R1->172.16.1.1 ,r2->172.16.1.2

R1

Router bgp 1

neighbor 172.16.1.2 remote-as 2

R2

Router bgp 2

neighbor 172.16.1.1 remote-as 1

lets see the routers BGP process and some debug messages

—————————————————————————————–

when we configure peer with wrong AS-number you can see the below output happen
R1
router bgp 1
neighbor 172.16.1.2 remote-as 2
R2
router bgp 2
neighbor 172.16.1.1 remote-as 11-> this should be 1
More to come with E-bgp peering with EBGP-MULTIHOP And other ways of doing things
