Juniper High Availability Customer Site using AS-Prepend

Configuring Dual-CE BGP High Availability Site. This article provides Juniper Configuration Example that uses BGP AS-Prepend to identify primary and secondary paths.

Cisco Configuration Blueprint – Single-Homed CE Device with EBGP

Introduction

In this example, we will show recommended configuration for a Single-homed Single CE device using private AS with an upstream ISP. It is assumed that management of this device will be performed from a dedicated server residing within Customer’s Network.

This type of setup is quite common in an environment where a dedicated firewall performing source NAT function is setup to protect customer infrastructure.

Please note, that the Management Station is connected directly to the LAN interface for illustration purpose only. In real production deployments, Management Station must be protected by a firewall.

BGP Configuration

BGP configuration can be split in the following tasks:

  • Accept the default route from the ISP while discarding all other advertisements that might be sent to your CE
  • Advertise your subnet (120.0.50.0/24) while making sure that no other routers are erroneously injected
  • Secure BGP session by configuring a MD5 key

The actual configuration is comprised of the following blocks:

  1. Configure Two prefix lists – one with the subnet you’ll advertise upstream and the other one with the default route you’ll be receiving from your ISP:
ip prefix-list default-only seq 10 permit 0.0.0.0/0

ip prefix-list originated-out seq 10 permit 120.0.50.0/24

 

  1. Configure BGP session with prefix-filtering and MD5 session protection
router bgp 111100

 bgp log-neighbor-changes

 network 120.0.50.0 mask 255.255.255.0

 neighbor 120.0.4.17 remote-as 100

 neighbor 120.0.4.17 description PE2

 neighbor 120.0.4.17 password 7 14141B180F0B

 neighbor 120.0.4.17 soft-reconfiguration inbound

 neighbor 120.0.4.17 prefix-list default-only in

 neighbor 120.0.4.17 prefix-list originated-out out

!

Securing the Router

Next step is to secure the router itself. But default, it will pass any traffic (with some exceptions, not covered in this article) and accept connections from anywhere on the Internet. Your job is to make sure that only trusted sources can communicate with your device (control plane protection) and spoofed traffic is not allowed in and out of your network (data plane protection).

Data Plane Protection

  1. Configure access-list to block spoofed traffic originated on the Internet:
ip access-list extended martians

 deny   ip host 255.255.255.255 any

 deny   ip 0.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any

 deny   ip 127.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any

 deny   ip 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any

 deny   ip 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255 any

 deny   ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 any

 deny   ip 240.0.0.0 15.255.255.255 any

 deny   ip 224.0.0.0 15.255.255.255 any

 deny   ip 169.254.0.0 0.0.255.255 any

 deny   ip 192.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any

 deny   ip 198.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any

 deny   ip 203.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any

 deny   ip 100.64.0.0 0.0.63.255 any

! ßLocal Traffic, should not be arriving from the Internet à 

 deny   ip 120.0.50.0 0.0.0.255 any

 permit ip any any
  1. Configure interface with security commands and uRPF on the LAN interface. Note that ‘no ip unreachables’ will block traceroute.
