Quantum Spark Routing: "Configuring a VPN between an Appliance and an SMB with BGP support via VTI"

Hi Checkmates,

I would like to know if anyone has experience or can guide me on how to establish a VPN connection between an Appliance and an SMB while enabling the use of the BGP protocol. Is it possible to configure this VPN using VTI?

See https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/SMB_R81.10.X/Dynamic_Routing/EN/Content/Topics/BGP-IPv4.htm

You can run BGP over a route-based VPN by enabling BGP on a virtual tunnel interface (VTI).

Details are in https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk138192

I appreciate the guidance,

I will review the documentation and apply the concepts in a laboratory environment.

In R81.10.0x you can configure VTIs and BGP in WebGUI, for CLI see
