BGP Configuration Example<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In the last tutorial \u201cBGP configuration example : EBGP Peering<\/a>\u201c, we configured an EBGP peering between two routers using their physical interface IP addresses. In this BGP configuration example, we\u2019ll use loopback interfaces for BGP peering. We prefer loopback interfaces when there are multiple paths between peers because they provide more stability Using multiple paths ensures that even if one path disconnects, we can maintain the BGP peering through an alternate path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
