Running GoBGP
This page explains how to run GoBGP. This example sets up GoBGP to connect with two eBGP peers for IPv4 routes. Even if you are interested in other GoBGP use cases (such as IPv6 routes, EVPN, and Route Server), this example gives you the basics of GoBGP usage.
Prerequisites
You need to install Go 1.5 or later. After installing Go, make sure that $GOPATH/bin in included in your $PATH.
Installing GoBGP
$ go get github.com/osrg/gobgp/gobgpd
$ go get github.com/osrg/gobgp/gobgp
Finished. No dependency hell (library, package, etc) thanks to Go. The first command installs GoBGP daemon (speaking BGP protocol). The second one installs GoBGP CLI. The CLI isn't a must but handy when you play with GoBGP.
In addition, if you use Bash shell, you can enjoy CLI's tab completion:
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osrg/gobgp/master/tools/completion/gobgp-completion.bash
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osrg/gobgp/master/tools/completion/gobgp-static-completion.bash
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osrg/gobgp/master/tools/completion/gobgp-dynamic-completion.bash
$ source gobgp-completion.bash
Configuration
GoBGP can be configured via a configuration file or gRPC API. This example
uses the following very simple configuration. All keys are case-insensitive.
Default configuration format of GoBGP is toml.
If you don't like toml, you can use json, yaml and hcl instead.
[global.config]
as = 64512
router-id = "192.168.255.1"
[[neighbors]]
[neighbors.config]
neighbor-address = "10.0.255.1"
peer-as = 65001
[[neighbors]]
[neighbors.config]
neighbor-address = "10.0.255.2"
peer-as = 65002
see here for more complicated configuration.
Starting GoBGP
Save the configuration above as gobgpd.conf and start gobgpd:
$ sudo -E gobgpd -f gobgpd.conf
{"level":"info","msg":"Peer 10.0.255.1 is added","time":"2015-04-06T20:32:28+09:00"}
{"level":"info","msg":"Peer 10.0.255.2 is added","time":"2015-04-06T20:32:28+09:00"}
If you use a configuration format other than toml, you must specify the format
by -t option.
equivalent yaml configuration.
global:
config:
as: 64512
router-id: 192.168.255.1
neighbors:
- config:
neighbor-address: 10.0.255.1
peer-as: 65001
- config:
neighbor-address: 10.0.255.2
peer-as: 65002
$ sudo -E gobgpd -t yaml gobgpd.yml
{"level":"info","msg":"Peer 10.0.255.1 is added","time":"2015-04-06T20:32:28+09:00"}
{"level":"info","msg":"Peer 10.0.255.2 is added","time":"2015-04-06T20:32:28+09:00"}
Let's show the information of all the peers.
$ gobgp neighbor
Peer AS Up/Down State |#Advertised Received Accepted
10.0.255.1 65001 00:00:14 Establ | 1 5 5
10.0.255.2 65002 00:00:14 Establ | 5 2 2
Want to see the details of a particular peer?
$ gobgp neighbor 10.0.255.1
BGP neighbor is 10.0.255.1, remote AS 65001
BGP version 4, remote router ID 192.168.0.1
BGP state = BGP_FSM_ESTABLISHED, up for 00:01:49
BGP OutQ = 0, Flops = 0
Neighbor capabilities:
MULTIPROTOCOL: advertised and received
ROUTE_REFRESH: advertised and received
FOUR_OCTET_AS_NUMBER: advertised and received
ROUTE_REFRESH_CISCO: received

Note that the tab completion works for both peer names and commands.
