Border Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4)

This chapter provides a general description of BGPv4 as it is supported in the Dell Networking operating system.

BGP protocol standards are listed in the Standards Compliance chapter.

BGP is an external gateway protocol that transmits interdomain routing information within and between autonomous systems (AS). The primary function of the BGP is to exchange network reachability information with other BGP systems. BGP generally operates with an internal gateway protocol (IGP) such as open shortest path first (OSPF) or router information protocol (RIP), allowing you to communicate to external ASs smoothly. BGP adds reliability to network connections by having multiple paths from one router to another.
