Yeah, we're using it for an anycasted node but like, I'm confused on certain parts like, just a really basic question. When doing things like conf t router bgp AS1337 neighbor 208.54.128.0 remote-as AS13335 neighbor 208.54.128.0 description BGP with Upstream neighbor 208.54.128.0 password "lolpass" address-family ipv4 no synchronization neighbor 208.54.128.0 activate neighbor 208.54.128.0 soft-reconfiguration inboung I'm confused on when doing this, would I need to state like First go to AS13335 then go to TATA then go to my server or would it just automatically do that or would my provider do that? I'm confused on that. how would I state multiple peers.....? On Sat, Jul 19, 2014 at 10:06 AM, Jonathan Lassoff <jof () thejof com> wrote:An Anycasting node. For example, as part of a reliable DNS service. A /24 is usually the smallest prefix length that is portably accepted. Also, applications where connections need to appear to be coming from many source IPs.

Iwantto set it up to run through their network as if it was one of theirIPs,etc. I keep seeing things like iBGP (which I think means like ainnerrouting BGP) and eBGP (what I'm talking about??) but I have no ideahowtoset those up or which one I would need.Howdy, Unless you have (1) a real router available, not a just a server and (2) an expert available to help you with your first BGP configuration I strongly recommend you simply ask your service provider to announce the /24 to the Internet on your behalf. Server-based BGP software like Quagga for Linux is reasonably good but it should absolutely not be involved in your _first_ attempt to connect with the Internet's default-free zone. Simple mistakes with eBGP can cause tremendous damage to other folks on the Internet. Trial and error is simply not OK. If it isn't worth it to you to buy a BGP-capable router then you also aren't prepared to make the investment in learning it takes to use BGP without causing harm.
