Set up your network so that you can telnet to your routers vs moving the console cable.
OBJECTIVE 1
Design and configure a heirarchial backbone topology per the following drawing, notes and requirements
- EDGE2.NYC1 or EDGE2.SJO1 is a Juniper.
- All routers are running BGP in a resiliant manner.
- Your /8 is in BGP. This should be the *only* static route in your network in this objective.
- We are only building 2 cities for this lab but assume there are 25 more similiar sites on your network.
- Assume any given city could have up to 10 EDGE routers.
- Question 1.1 - What IGP design decisions did you make?
- Question 1.2 - Show relevant IGP config snips from CORE1.SJO1, EDGE2.SJO1 and EDGE2.NYC1.
- Question 1.3 - What BGP design decisions did you make?
- Question 1.4 - Show relevant BGP config snips from CORE1.SJO1, EDGE2.SJO1 and EDGE2.NYC1.
- Question 1.5 - What is the redundant intra-site capacity for each of the EDGE routers? (disregard WAN)
- Verify you have reachability to all routers from all routers.
OBJECTIVE 2
Design a routing policy that accounts for network relationships of customer, peer, and transit. Consider that any given EDGE router could have any relationship type.
- Build route policy in and out for each relationship type. Give them a standard name of '{relationship}-in' and '{relationship)-out'
- Incorporate protection mechanisms and or sanity filtering for your network and the connecting networks as appropriate.
- Question 2.1 - How would you set things up to reduce costs? What assumptions might you make about the types of relationships as they relate to costs?
- Question 2.2 - How do you differentiate your received routes by relationship and determine the routes to send to each relationship? Provide a key.
- Question 2.3 - What sort of policy do you need for a statically routed customer?
- Question 2.4 - Show relevant route-policy config snips from a cisco EDGE router and a juniper EDGE router for all relationship types.
OBJECTIVE 3
Design and configure customer connections per the following drawing and requirements
- Each customer router is managed by your group. You are resonsible for the configuration and operation.
- While we are only configuring one or two customers per router in the lab plan for several hundred per edge router.
- CUST A is statically routed and announcing the IP space (10+X).0.0.0/8 Set a loopback on the customer router of (10+X).0.0.1/32
- Question 3.1 - Show relevant config snips from the CUST A router?
- Question 3.2 - Show relevant config snips from the EDGE router?
- CUST B is running BGP and is using ASN (20+X) and announcing the IP space (20+X).0.0.0/8. Set a loopback on the customer router of (20+X).0.0.1/32
- Question 3.3 - Show relevant config snips from the CUST B router?
- Question 3.4 - Show relevant config snips from the EDGE router?
- CUST C is running BGP with you and using ASN (30+X) They are using X.X.0.0/20 of your address space. Set a loopback on the customer router of X.X.0.1/32.
- Question 3.5 - Show relevant config snips from the CUST C router?
- Question 3.6 - Show relevant config snips from the EDGE routers?
OBJECTIVE 4
Design and configure your peering and transit connections across the Internet Exchange Switch
- Set up a 'transit' connection across the exchange switch to group X+1 (you are their customer)
- Question 4.1 - Show relevant config snips from the EDGE router?
- Set up a 'customer' connection across the exchange switch to group X-1
- Question 4.2 - Show relevant config snips from the EDGE router?
- Set up a 'peering' connection across the exchange switch to all other groups
- Question 4.3 - Show relevant config snips from the EDGE router?
OBJECTIVE 5
Multihomed customers and failures
- CUST C has disconnect their connection to your EDGE1.NYC1 router and has choosen to establish it with group X+1's EDGE1.NYC1 router. They are still using your IP space.
- Question 5.1 - What if anything do you need to do for this to work?
- CUST C wants to send all outbound traffic via the interface to you but receive all inbound traffic via group X+1. Please assist them.
- Question 5.2 - What changes were required and where?
- CUST C's link to you has failed. Make sure your network can still reach them.
- Question 5.3 - What is necessary for this to work correctly?
