BGP is a complex beast, and describing it in detail is outside the scope of this documentation. Configuration of OpenBGPD on AZTCO-FW is straight forward for those with knowledge of BGP. During development of this package, we relied on O’Reilly’s BGP book and recommend it for anyone looking to deploy BGP.

The general form of configuration for the OpenBGPD package is:

  • Configure a group on the Group tab with the remote AS
  • Configure one or more neighbors on the Neighbors tab as members of the defined Group
  • Configure the Settings tab as desired for the local AS and networks to announce.
