FullBGP at Home

OpenBSD
Page content

did you always wanted to have a fullbgp table at home once ? Over your DSL / CM / LTE or whatever connection ? here a little howto :)

Setup VM

Install a VM with OpenBSD. Add 1 CPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB Disk, nothing special

Check our Upstream Provider

Check the Page from Lukasz and spend him a Beer if you ever meet him. He also mentioned my Post in his Slides (Thanks Lukas)

Edit your Config

set the router-id to your Public IP. This Value must be uniqe, so your PubIP is perfect for that.

cat <<'EOF'> /etc/bgpd.conf
# define our own ASN as a macro
ASN="65001"

# global configuration
AS $ASN
router-id YOUR-PUBLIC-IP-ADDRESS

# list of networks that may be originated by our ASN
prefix-set mynetworks {
}

# as our Servers are distributed throught the Internet and not directly Connected, this line is important !
nexthop qualify via default

# udpate fib ?
fib-update yes

# hold time

so, if you don’t know what’s this all about, i’m certain you don’t need a full table and you’ll be happy with a default route :)

Any Comments ?
