BGP with clusterXL

shantilalSuthar — Tue, 15 Oct 2024 14:13:20 GMT

Hi,

I want to configure BGP with clusterXL using VIP. But have a confusion. What IP checkpoint will use as peer with BGP gateway & Does BGP peer will use VIP as their BGP neighbor ?

Need some clarification here with the neighbors IP addresses.

VIP also the router_id should be set to the same on both cluster members.

It should be VIP, correct. See below.

Have a doubt. What IP checkpoint will use as source for BGP packets ? It is VIP or the physical IP address ?

Because of Cluster Hide and Fold it should be the VIP I'd say.
