I just realized my email was likely totally mangled as plain text formatting was not enabled in my tutanota settings. Here's a (hopefully) non-mangled version.
--------------------------------------- Hello, I’m having sometrouble configuring OpenBGPD, to replace my Bird deployment. I’m trying to setup redundant web infrastructure for a few websites I host with Vultr.To do so, I followed this guide: https://www.vultr.com/docs/high-availability-on-vultr-with-floating-ip-and-bgp <https://www.vultr.com/docs/high-availability-on-vultr-with-floating-ip-and-bgp> It works flawlesslywith Bird running on OpenBSD, but I obviously prefer to run utilitiesfrom the base system wherever possible. I’ve spent more time thanI’d like to admit trying to get this setup working on OpenBGPD. The only thing I diddifferent from the above guide was use lo1 rather than a dummyinterface, as dummy interfaces appear to be a linuxism as per thismailing list thread I found: http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabble.com/Dummy-Interface-In-OpenBGPd-td34009.html <http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabble.com/Dummy-Interface-In-OpenBGPd-td34009.html> Basically, all I’mtrying to do is port my Bird config over to OpenBGPD. At this pointI’m just banging my head against a wall. I’ve spent several daysgoogling, reading man pages and trying different configs. I must bemissing something basic, and it’s likely something obvious I’mmissing, as I am by no means a BGP expert. My bird config lookslike this: log "/var/log/bird"all; router idxxx.xxx.224.9; protocol device { scan time 60; } protocol direct { interface "lo1"; } protocol bgp vultr { local as 65xxx; source addressxxx.xxx.224.9; import none; export all; graceful restarton; next hop self; multihop 2; neighbor169.254.169.254 as 64515; password"xxxxxx"; } My attempt at a bgpd.conflooks like this: #Global Configuration AS65xxx router-idxxx.xxx.157.221 #Our Address Space networkxxx.xxx.0.141/32 #IPv4 Peers neighbor169.254.169.254 { remote-as 64515 tcpmd5sig password xxxxxx setnexthop self multihop 2 descr Vultr local-address xxx.xxx.157.221 } Anyassistance you fine folks could provide to help me get this workking would be hugely appreciated.
