# General BGP Related
# Tools
There are a lot of useful online BGP tools available:
For Checking BGP route, you can also use traceroute etc
traceroute -A <ip-address>
mtr -z <ip-address>
Some good alternative tools (Looking Glass) for traceroute or ping globally
- HE.net Looking Glass
- Packet Clearing House (PCH) Looking Glass
- Ping.SX - Misaka Network Looking Glass
# BGP Software (Without Router)
# Commands
(ToDo)
# BGP With BIRD
Youc an check example (complicated) BIRD configeration here
# Example (simple) BIRD configeration
This is a simple BIRD configuration example for easy setup
router id <customer-ip-address>;
protocol kernel {
scan time 60;
import none;
export all; # Actually insert routes into the kernel routing table
persist;
}
protocol device {
scan time 60;
}
protocol bgp <bgp_protocol-peer-asn> {
local as <customer-asn>;
neighbor <peer-ip-address> as <peer-asn>;
source address <customer-ip-address;
export where proto = "static_bgp";
import none; # Disable import routing table from upstream
}
protocol static static_bgp {
import all;
route <announcing-ip-block>/<prefix-length> reject;
}
# Useful Commands
Reload configeration
birdc configure
Show status
birdc show status
birdc show interfaces
birdc show protocols
birdc show protocols all <bgp_protocol-peer-asn> # Check specific BGP Status in details
birdc show static
birdc show static static_bgp # Show static BGP announcement
birdc show route
birdc show route export <bgp_protocol-peer-asn> # Show specific BGP Exported route
Control Specific Protocol
birdc reload <protocol> | "<pattern>" | all # Reload protocol
birdc restart <protocol> | "<pattern>" | all # Restart protocol
birdc disable <protocol> | "<pattern>" | all # Disable protocol
Add / Remove ROA
birdc add roa <prefix> max <num> as <num> [table <name>] # Add ROA record
birdc delete roa <prefix> max <num> as <num> [table <name>] # Delete ROA record
# BGP With FRRouting
