BGP is a large-scale routing protocol used to communicate routing information between Autonomous Systems (ASs), which are well-defined, separately administered network domains. BGP support allows for SonicWALL security appliances to replace a traditional BGP router on the edge of a network's AS. The current SonicWALL implementation of BGP is most appropriate for "single-provider / single-homed" environments, where the network uses one ISP as their Internet provider and has a single connection to that provider. SonicWALL BGP is also capable of supporting "single-provider / multi-homed" environments, where the network uses a single ISP but has a small number of separate routes to the provider. BGP is enabled on the Network > Routing page of the SonicOS GUI and then it is fully configured through the SonicOS Command Line Interface (CLI).
