Hello,
I rent physical hosts from a public cloud provider and i am trying to set up a
private network between them.
For that, i want to configure BGP protocol between them.
I use Bird 2.15.1 on AlmaLinux 9.2.
Each host has a public ip that i use as « router id » and « neighbor ».
I add a private ip 10.1.1.x on lo interface used for BGP.
birdc show protocol command confirm that the bgp session is established. State
is « up » and Info column displays « Established ».
But birdc show route command is empty; it shows only the following message «
BIRD 2.15.1 ready. ».
The routing tables seems to not be shared between the peers.
There are no errors in the logs (either /var/log/messages nor journalctl).
Do you know if this approach is technically possible?
Herunder the configuration:
$ cat /etc/bird/bird.conf
router id <public ip>;
protocol bgp bgp_static {
local as 65001;
neighbor <server 2 public ip> as 65001;
multihop 99;
ipv4 {
import all;
export filter {
if net = 10.1.1.1/32 then accept;
reject;
};
};
debug all;
}
Many Thanks,
tg
