The default values, specified for the Core service are sufficient for a proper system start-up. Several parameters can be adjusted during the initial system deployment. For a comprehensive list please see the Global parameters and Core settings sections.
During the initial setup and configuration stage, one must pay attention to the following configuration parameters:
- global.nonintrusive_bgp – must be set to “1” until the configuration and route propagation tests are completed.
- global.improve_mode – must be configured according to the specific network operator policies. See also: Performance Optimization Mode, Cost Optimization Mode
- global.aggregate – in most cases, it is recommended to enable the aggregates, in order to reduce the number of prefixes advertised by the IRP. Please consult the network infrastructure and configuration.
- core.commit_control – should be configured according to the specific network operator policies, see also: Commit Control
- core.outage_detection – in most cases it must be enabled. For more details see Outage detection
