I’m stuck deep in Junos these days. I mean deep. I have an F5 load balancer and an ASA 5520; the rest of my stuff is Juniper. That means I have some learning to do.
Here’s one of the basics in Junos - configuring BGP. I guess I’ve always said that BGP is BGP. How much different can it be from IOS? Well, the end result is the same, but it’s different enough to have to look up how to do it. :) The first difference is the fact that all BGP configuration is done with groups just like peer groups in IOS. You can act like you’re configuring neighbors, but there’s no way around using groups. After going back and forth, I just settled with an group for eBGP neighbors and another for iBGP neighbors. If settings are different, I just set them in the neighbor. Here’s an example of that.
