A BGP Speaker implementation for Contiv-VPP

Please follow instructions in https://github.com/osrg/gobgp to get your off-the-shelf gobgp set up. Make sure to add the master node as a neighbor to the gateway.

First, edit the gateway's off-the-shelf bbgpd.conf file to enable zebra feature:

[zebra]
    [zebra.config]
        enabled = true
        url = "unix:/var/run/quagga/zserv.api"
        redistribute-route-type-list = ["connect"]
        version = 2

Next, to set install quagga on the gateway do the following:

  $ sudo su //ensure that sudo is being used if you decide to not use this command to start
  # apt-get update
  # apt-get install quagga quagga-doc

Then, configure Quagga daemons by editing the file /etc/quagga/daemons to start the zebra daemon.

# nano /etc/quagga/daemons

Configure the deamons file as such:

zebra=yes
bgpd=no
ospfd=no
ospf6d=no
ripd=no
ripngd=no
isisd=no
babeld=no

Next, create config files for the zebra daemon. You can you the sample installed with quagga-doc:

# cp /usr/share/doc/quagga/examples/zebra.conf.sample /etc/quagga/zebra.conf
# chown quagga.quaggavty /etc/quagga/*.conf
# chmod 640 /etc/quagga/*.conf

Start Quagga:

# /etc/init.d/quagga start

Now you will need to run the gateway by using the command:

$ sudo -E ./gobgpd -f ./gobgpd.conf

You will also need to run the executable GoBGP that you create in GoLand to run bgp on the master:

$ go run main.go

Finally, check if your network is set up by viewing the routing table in the gateway using:

$ netstat -rn

An example of the Routing Table will appear as follows. The gateway node should learn the different CIDR subnets with the appropriate IP-VPP as the next hop.

You will also be able to ping the connection.
