Capture settings for BGP peering

  • The table ‘BGP Peering Networks’ in the section Application Virtual Network Configuration captures the VLANs for the eBGP peering for the first uplink and second uplink of each Edge Service Gateway. At the time of deployment, CloudBuilder will configure two virtual switch portgroups, and assign the VLANs to each portgroup respectively. CloudBuilder will then connect the first Edge Service Gateway uplink to the first portgroup, and the second Edge Service Gateway to the second portgroup.

    The table ‘BGP Peering Networks’ also captures the networks to be assigned to enable connectivity for eBGP and iBGP peering

    • Capture the IP address ranges for eBGP peering between the external routers and Edge Service Gateways in CIDR format. The range only needs to be large enough to support peering with the external routers
    • Capture the IP address range for iBGP peering between the Edge Service Gateways and Universal Distributed Logical Router in CIDR format. The range only needs to be large enough to support peering within the Application Virtual Network.
