IBGP Source Interface Selection Still Requires Configuration

FRRouting does not automatically select the correct IBGP source interface without explicit configuration; any success is coincidental.

MAIN POINTS
  1. FRRouting requires explicit configuration for correct IBGP source interface selection.
  2. BGP operates over TCP sessions, requiring specific neighbor IP addresses.
  3. Incorrect assumptions about automatic interface selection can lead to misconfigurations.
  4. Understanding BGP session establishment is crucial for network engineers.
TAKEAWAYS
  1. Do not rely on FRRouting for automatic IBGP source interface selection.
  2. Proper configuration is essential for successful BGP session establishment.
  3. Misunderstandings can lead to network issues and misconfigurations.
  4. Networking engineers should verify configurations rather than assume defaults.
