1) talk to your providers to see if they will BGP peer with you - Get their ASN and ARIN Organization Names 2) Get stuff from ARIN: a) Register a POC (POC Template) - You will get a POC handle back ARIN b) Register your Organization (Organization Template) - You will need the POC handle from step a. - You will get a ORG ID back from ARIN c) Request an ASN (AS Number request template) - You will need the info from #1, step a & step b - You will "hopefully" get an ASN number from ARIN. 3) Choose a routing deamon, zebra or openbgp - You will need to setup them up with info from #1 & #2 - Make sure you understand everything, BGP can be dangerous - Please filter announcements and source addresses!!!!! 4)Coordinate time with Providers to turn up BGP - you can do them one at a time. 5) Turn BGP peering up with provider on the phone (not a VoIP phone) _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
