BGP Network Setting Configuration

You can add static routes directly into BGP. BGP advertises these routes to peers if the network prefix is reachable from the virtual router.

The Virtual Router (BGP) - Networks page supports both Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) if you set the IPv6 environment variable. The first area is for IPv4 parameters and the second area is for IPv6 parameters. If IPv6 is not enabled, the second area will not appear.  

To Add a Network Address

This procedure applies to both Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) if you set the IPv6 environment variable. Unless otherwise indicated, the descriptions of the user interface are the same for both protocols.

  1. Enter the necessary information:

(IPv4) IP/Netmask: Enter a valid IP address and network mask value that identifies the network that is reachable from the BGP routing instance.

(IPv6) IP/Mask-length: Enter a valid IP address and mask length value that identifies the network that is reachable from the BGP routing instance.

Weight: Enter a locally assigned weight value. This value is not advertised to peers. If there is more than one route to a destination, the route with the highest weight is preferred.

Route Map: From the list,select a route map that sets the attributes of the route.

Check Reachability: Select one of the following:

By Default: Directs the BGP routing instance to check whether the network prefix can be reached by other routes.

No Check: Directs the BGP routing instance to not check whether the network prefix is reachable from the virtual router (the network prefix is always reachable).

Yes: Directs the BGP routing instance to check whether it can reach a different, specified network prefix before advertising the route to peers. Enter the IP address and netmask (IPv4) or IP address and mask length (IPv6) of the network prefix that must be reached.

  1. Click Add to save the settings.

The new network is displayed.

To Remove a Network Address

  1. Click Remove in the Option column of the network address that you want to delete.

A system message prompts you to confirm the removal.

  1. Click OK to confirm the removal, or Cancel to cancel it.
