Peer A starts the initial connection to Cogent. Peer B is for advertising the routes. A.A.A.A = Cogent Peer A IP address B.B.B.B = Cogent Peer B IP address X.X.X.X = Your interface IP (assigned by Cogent) protocols { bgp { group Cogent-Peer-A { type external; neighbor A.A.A.A { import cogent-peer-policy; ### Set this policy to allow all from Cogent Peer A authentication-key "xxx"; ### Set your bgp password that was assigned to you from Cogent export my-bgp-network; ### Policy that advertises your routes to Cogent peer-as 174; } } group Cogent-Peer-B { type external; local-address X.X.X.X; neighbor B.B.B.B { multihop { ttl 6; } import cogent-policy; ### Policy to allow all routes from Cogent or filter them as needed authentication-key "xxx"; ### Set your bgp password that was assigned to you from Cogent peer-as 174; } } You will need to set your IP assigned by Cogent on the loop back interface interfaces { lo0 { description Loopback; unit 0 { family inet { address 127.0.0.1/32; address X.X.X.X/32; } } } Don't forget to setup your policies.
