3850 and BGP

This is a fairly general question, but I have a stack of two 3850 switches with the IP Services IOS (or whatever its called now in IOS 15, it's the license that removes EIGRP stub) for a new deployment with Two ISP's.  Both ISP's will hand us an Ethernet port, and we will peer with each ISP with BGP to advertise our address space (a single /22).  We will receive a default route from one ISP, and a default route and the ISP's local routes from the other.
We originally planned to use two 2921 routers to peer with the ISP's, but I'm not sure thats necessary.  Does BGP work pretty well on the 3850's in others experiences?

 No NAT.  As I stated above, we are only getting default routes and maybe one ISP's local routes, so the routing table size won't be an issue.  If it does, I'll just accept default routes and that will be that.
All BGP features we currently use appear to be supported by the 3850, or at least it accepted the commands.  Our config isn't anything special.  Just curious about peoples impressions of BGP on the 3850's.
thanks!

  • Question about network statement in OSPF and BGP

    The network statements in OSPF and BGP can be used to advertise networks. But I'm not clear under what circumstances would make more sense to use network statements to advertise a network than by using other methods to have the network learned by other routers.
    Here is an example: assume I'm running BGP on router A. I want to advertise network 10.1.1.0/24 to other BGP peers. I have a OSPF route for this network. I can do 2 things: one is to use "network 10.1.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0", the other is to do "redistribute OSPF ... route-map OSPF-INTO-BGP", and create a prefix list to permit 10.1.1.0/24.
    Both would work to have this network learned by other BGP peers. But which is better for what purpose?
    Thanks a lot
    Gary

    Hi Gary,
    There is one little difference between the use of the two approaches - the route injected into BGP by using a network statement will carry an Origin attribute of IGP, whereas the route injected using redistribution will have an Origin attribute of Incomplete. Now, that is not a huge issue since you can always change that whatever value you desire both with the use of the network statement and redistribution. The important thing, however, is that in the BGP best path selection process, the Origin attribute comparison is fairly high up and will prefer a route with the attribute of IGP.
    Apart from that, there is absolutely no difference between using the network statement and using redistribution with a route-map that matches exactly on the same route that you would have specified with the network statement.
    I guess one advantage of using the redistribute approach is that it does not clutter up the BGP config. If you wish to add more routes, you simply add them to the prefix list so that you don't really touch the BGP config portion at all..
    Hope that helps - pls do remember to rate posts that help.

  • MACSEC between 3850 and 4500-X (manual switch-switch mode)

    Hi all
    As per post title, a couple of questions:
    1) Will MACSec encryption work between the above switches (using 1Gig port on the 3850 and a 1Gig SFP on the 4500-X)?
    2) If so, what versions of software are required, and what is the minimum feature set (IP Base?)
    3) Any special modules required like 3750X?
    4) Will Etherchannel work with the above?
    5) Bonus question: will the above run over 2 EoMPLS carrier provided services?
    Thanks

    Plug your speakers into the soundcard as usual.
    use the front mounted headphone socket on the fromt of the X-Fi I/O unit to connect your headset and set the control panel to automatically mute your speakers when the headset is connected. Your speakers will mute when the headset is plugged in and all you have to do is plug or unplug the headset at the front to switch modes!...Now please do not ask about doing the same with your mike connector!! see other thread by me!! p.s creative do ship a /4" to 3.5mmm adapter with the card.
    Hope I have understood your post

  • 3850 and amount of BGP neighbours

    Hi ,
    Does anyone know if there is a recommended maximum amount of iBGP neighbors that a 3850 can handle?
    Thanks,
    Lee.                  

    The 3850 supports 24k routes and has 4GB of DRAM.
    I don't think you would run into any problems with too many iBGP neighbors but if you have a lot I would consider moving to a Route Reflector setup.

  • Converged Access Design Help (Catalyst 3850 and WLC 5508...Mobility Oracle)

    Hello,
    I am an engineer working with a Cisco Gold Partner in Saudi Arabia. We have a large university as our client where they are constructing a new
    building and require our services to build the network infrastructure. Therefore, we are to implement the routing and switching infrastructure as
    well as the Wireless solution.
    At present, I have no issues in implementing the R&S infrastructure as it is very straight forward but it has implications on the deployment of
    the wireless solution which I explain further below. The R&S infrastructure comprises of the typical Core, Distribution, and Access layers and we
    are focusing on the local distribution and access switches with regards to the new building. The client has a converged Layer 3 network spanning
    from distribution layer to core layer and they are running EIGRP for this convergence. This is not a problem and has already been implemented.
    Yet, the challenge arises in deploying the WLAN infrastructure. The client already has a Cisco WLAN infrastructure in place where they have a
    large number of LAPs that are registered with their controllers in the Data Center. They have two WLC 5508 where one is the Primary and the other
    the Secondary. The local distribution switch to which the WLC are connected also is the gateway for the SVIs for the SSIDs that are configured on
    the controllers. This means that once the packets from the AP come in to the WLC, they are tagged with the correct VLAN and sent to the directly
    connected distribution switch which then routes it into the rest of the Layer 3 network. Interestingly, the WLC 5508 are running AireOS 7.6 and
    support the "New Mobility" feature. The two controllers have formed a Mobility Group (MG) between each other.
    Now, the new building will have two Catalyst 3850 switches installed where each one has a total of 40 AP licenses pre-installed and activated
    i.e. a total of 80 APs can be supported by the two switches. A total of 67 LAPs will be deployed in the new building which can be accommodated
    between the two switches and their integrated controller.
    Yet, based on my understanding and research about Converged Access is that, ideally, the Catalyst 3850 will only run the Mobility Agent (MA)
    feature while a central controller would provide the Mobility Controller (MC) service. unfortunately, there are not enough licenses on the
    existing WLC 5508 nor can we migrate the new licenses that will facilitate such a split deployment.
    This means that I would need to configure the two Catalyst 3850 as independent MC and form a MG between them. I have done this and tested this
    already and the mobility is working fine. But my concern is not about getting the Catalyst 3850 to work as this is simple but rather it is
    focused on creating a common Mobility Domain (MD) so that clients can roam from this new building to the rest of the campus while maintaining the
    state of their connections to the WLAN infrastructure.
    To make things more complicated, since the new building will have its own Layer 3 distribution switch and the Catalyst 3850 switches will connect
    to this distribution switch, it means that new VLANs and SVIs need to be created for the SSIDs broadcast in the new building. This means that new
    subnets need to be assigned to the SSIDs.
    As such, I have the following questions:
    Q1) If we create new SVIs for the SSIDs (same SSIDs names will be used in the new building as in the rest of the university campus) this means
    that new subnets will be assigned to these SSIDs. Now, I believe I have two options...one is to make the new Catalyst 3850s to be in the same MG
    as the existing WLC 5508 which then cater for Layer 3 client roaming or I have to treat this as a totally seperate WLAN network and follow on to
    the solution as per the next question. Please advise which is a better option?
    Q2) I could create separate MG i.e. the new building Catalyst 3850s can be in one MG and the existing controllers can be in another MG. I can
    then have one of the existing WLC 5508 (the primary one) to run the Mobility Oracle (MO) feature so as to create a single Mobility Domain (MD).
    Would this facilitate in Layer 3 client roaming and RRM for all the controllers in the same MD?
    Q3) If I do create a MD, how is this accomplished in such an environment since the documentation is severely limited in this regard?
    Please advise at your earliest. To assist further, I have attached a topology diagram which may aid in explaining the situation with more
    clarity. If these things are clarified, I will be better able to wrap my head around the technology and in turn service my clients better.
    Regards,
    Amir

    Hi Amir,

    I would configure them in the same mobility group. Also configure same SPG for those two 3850 stacks if users are frequently roaming within these two buildings.
    Q2) I could create separate MG i.e. the new building Catalyst 3850s can be in one MG and the existing controllers can be in another MG.

    MO is not required (it is only for very large scale deployments)
    Q3) If I do create a MD, how is this accomplished in such an environment since the documentation is severely limited in this regard?
    Yes, documents are hard to find :(

  • Cisco 3850 and Licences for WLC??

    Hello
    We have a client who needs a new switch which is capable of intervlan routing and also a WLC.
    I am thinking a 48 port 3850 with IP Base which gives intervlan routing and WLC support.
    However I am not sure if we need to purchase additional AP licences or whether they are built in?
    Cheers

    In 3850 WLC functionality, your switch stack could act as MA (Mobiity Agengt) or MC (Mobility Controller). AP license required for your 3850, only if it is acting as MC. (for MA you do not require any AP licenses). Max 50 AP can handle by given 3850 switch stack. For MC functionality minimum you required IPbase image. (not LANbase)
    So it is based on your design you need to purchase 3850 AP license. In your case if it is for a single switch where client want WLC functionality (with no other controller available) then you have to go with AP license depend on how many AP they want to deploy.
    BRKCRS-2889 CiscoLive material will give you good overview of this new Converged Access Deployment model & MA/MC functionalilty & few design options.

  • Unable to fully form trunks between 3850 and 4503-E switches

    Hi all,
    This last weekend I tried to replace a stack of 3750G's with a stack of new 3850's.
    The stack of switches has 2 fibre uplinks to the core switches (4503-E).
    It didn't go well, and I had to revert the project.
    The stack was all pre-configured in the workshop but could not be tested  on the live LAN. When I connected it , I first connected up 1 of  the 2 uplinks. The link went to UP status, and I could see the remote core switch via CDP,  but it would not learn the VLANs (VTP was setup correctly), and looking  at the port on the switch, it flashed green, went solid green, then  flashed amber slowly. This cycled continuously, whilst the link status remained up and no errors were logged by either switch.
    I debugged spanning-tree but nothing stood out. I tried a replacement SFP, and a different slot but no difference.
    I re-connected one of the old 3750's and immediately the link came up stable, and everything was fine.
    I then erased the config on the new stack, and simply set the fibre port as  trunk, with udld enabled (matching the remote end) (neither switch  supports ISL, so the trunk is dot1q). The same issue persisted.
    Last night I spent a few hours in the office investigating.  I grabbed a spare 3560G from the store, configured a fibre port as a trunk, and connected this to the 3850's, and this worked fine.  I then provisioned a new fibre port on the core 4503-E and connected this up using brand new fibre tails, but had exactly the same issues as described above.
    The switches were running cat3k_caa-iosd-universalk9.SPA.150-1.EX3, and I have upgraded them to cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.03.01.SE.150-1.EZ1.bin as part of my troubleshooting but this has not made a difference.
    Does anyone have any advice? I am starting to wish I spec'd 3750X's instead!!
    Thanks

  • Best Practice Two ISPs and BGP

    Hello Experts.
    I was wanting to hear opinions for the best way to setup two ISR4431's with two 2960x's and two ASA firewalls.
    My current design is:
    ISP1 router -> ISR4431-A ->{2960x pair} -> ASA-A
    ISP2 router -> ISR4431-B ->{2960x pair} -> ASA-B
    Currently using public BGP and HSRP on the inside with an SLA monitor to a public IP.
    If HSRP is the best way to accomplish this, how do i solve these two problems or is there a better design? (The two 4431's are not connected to each other currently.)
    -Least Cost routing (i guess that is what its called) - I want to visit a website that is located on ISP2's network (or close to it), but HSRP currently has ISP1 as active. If i go out ISP1 it may go around the country or 10 hops before it hit a site that is 4 hops away on the other ISP.
    -Assymetric routing - i think that is where a reply comes in the non-active ISP - how do i prevent that.
    I am really just looking for design advice about the best way to use this hardware to create as much redundancy as possible and best performance possible. If you could just share your opinion of "I would use ____" or give me a stamp of reassurance on the above design and any opinion on the two problems.
    Thanks for the time!

    Hi,
    If you are running BGP with the service provides, you need an IBGP link between the 2 ISR-4431 routers.  If for example you want traffic to go out using sp-1 and come back using the same provider you need to us AS path prepending, so sp-2 sees a longer path to your network  and so traffic goes out and comes back through the same provider.  In this case you use sp-2 as backup link, if not you can be dealing with Asymmetric routing. In addition, for HSRP/VRRP to work both routers should be connecting to the set of  2960x switches. You can simply stack the 2960x switches so they logically look as one device. The same should go for the firewalls. They should connect to the switch stack.

  • Direct Connect OSPF and BGP AWS failover setup

    Hi,
    We recently installed AWS Direct Connect which was successful but now we are looking at the best way to  automatically fail over if our Direct Connect fails to route via our back VPN.
    The setup
    Cisco 6500 distributes routes via OSPF internally to all production environments with one area set.
    A second Cisco 2901 was installed to support the AWS Direct Connect which uses BGP with a single ASN. This router is connected to the Cisco 6500 and now within the OSPF area.  Static routes exist to the Cisco 2901 currently which unless we physically detach from the network fail over wont work.
    What we want to achieve
    The Cisco 2901 Direct Connect to be the default AWS route until we have a link issue or alike and dynamically fail over to our VPN via the firewall to AWS.  What we are confused is do we advertise these BGP routes within OSPF or should we setup BGP on the Cisco 6500? 
    I appreciate your time.

  • New ARIN Block Transition and BGP Setup

    Hello all,
    First post on the forum so I bear with me.  I am still young in my carrier and have not worked with BGP on a professional level.
    We received a new IP Address block from ARIN and need to transition to it.  The boss does not want to do a hard cut over but a phased migration instead.  I need to know if this is possible and any configuration guides that might be handy.
    Our current IP block is a /26 given to us by our ISP routing protocols are all handed by them we just use gateway of last resort/static routing.
    Is it possible to use the same physical link but use sub-interfaces in order to keep our current setup but allow for setup of BGP and the new ARIN block over the same physical interface up to the ISP?
    Has anyone transitioned this way before? Or know of any guides that might help me out in the configuration of something like this.  We are still in the planing phase and I just need to know if this is a viable solution or do we get another ISP (which is going to happen anyway eventually) and migrate over external services that way.
    Thank you,

    Am I correct in understanding that you have a single router connecting to a single ISP for Internet connectivity? And that the ISP handles routing to you and you have static routes pointing to the ISP? And that you now have been assigned your own block of addresses?
    If I have understood correctly then I will suggest to you that you may not need to use BGP as you implement the new address block. I would suggest that you could use this approach:
    - configure the new address block inside your network. Ask your ISP to route to these addresses over the existing connection (the ISP should be able to establish a static route for this block in their routing logic).
    - your ISP might ask you to advertise the address block to them. In that case you may need to run a dynamic routing protocol between your router and the ISP. Ask the ISP what routing protocol they support. BGP is probably one alternative but the ISP may have other routing protocols that they support for customer connections.

  • MIB and BGP peer (BGP4-MIB::bgpPeerRemoteAddr)

    Hello,
    We're using NAGIOS to monitor the networks of our customers.
    We're using BGPv4 and vrf lite on many of those networks.
    On every remote routers, we have multiple bgp peer sessions facing two ASR-1002F backbone routers (GRT and VRFs...).
    I'd like to know if there's a way to monitor all bgp sessions, on a remote router, without having to enter the ip addresses of all neighbors....
    I'm wondering whether or not I can use the "bgpPeerState" state to monitor the status of these bgp peer sessions?
    Someone got an idea?
    Thanks in advance,
    BRGs

    Hello Joseph,
    Thanks for your answer.
    We've been testing some scripts and it's now working!
    We use the bgpPeerRemoteAddrMIB to get our ip @ and then we log any change in bgpPeerStateper ip@...
    An alarm is on when we have an IDLE state....
    Warning for the other BGP states
    OK for established.
    Regards

  • ASR Zones and BGP

    We're designing a second datacenter and are looking at routers for both our MPLS network and our Internet edge. In our current datacenter we have 4x3945e routers, two on the MPLS networks and two on the Internet edge networks. Since we're going to have a 1GB link between the two datacenters, I started looking at the ASR platform for it's impressive throughput compared to the 3945e.
    I noticed the Enterprise Applications feature supports zone-based policy firewall, which seems appealing. Given the raw power of the ASR and the ability to support zones, it seems one router could handle both the external Internet access and the MPLS traffic, each residing on it's own zone.
    Considering the ASR 1001x, my two questions are
    Is my assumption correct or would the above be a security concern?
    Can each zone support a different BGP AS number?
    Thank you,
    Denny

    From within the zone, you can see what pool you're bound to by simply using
    the -q argument to poolbind(1M) with a valid pid, such as "poolbind -q $$".
    Alternatively, you can use the pooladm(1M) command with no arguments.
    Note that if you don't have pools active, this will result in a "Facility is not active"
    message but otherwise you'll see the details about the pool this zone is bound
    to.
    From the global zone, you can see the actual pool the zone is currently bound
    by doing something like "zlogin myzone 'poolbind -q $$'". And you can see
    which pool the zone will attempt to bind to the next time it reboots by using
    the "zonecfg -z myzone info pool" command.
    Does this help?
