Nice setup Brice. Yeah I agree BGP is fun! You just have to get in and use it to learn it and the virtual setup is an awesome way to test config ideas. Arista offers a vEOS version of their software to customers so you can run the exact same OS for your testing as on the routers. Keep up the good work and the good vids!
BGP is Interesting and Scary but also can be simple as well. We did a bit route filtering and route maps which complicated the matter, but it made you think about how you need to implement things.
I learned BGP using BIRD, and when I was let loose to do our BGP a few years ago, it was super scary making changes on live hardware. After a few months, I really enjoyed spinning up new sessions and watching traffic start to flow over those peers!
So I'm using GNS3 to play around with different routing "software"/OSes. If I remember correctly, VyOS, which is what I love using, actually runs FRR in the background. I've even done some cool stuff like this ( had to remove the imgur link ), where I expose routers to the internet, and learn how to use a Palo Alto inline between two HA routers!
Actively learning BGP every day of my life. Keep up these videos, getting into the inter workings is awesome. Where aside from directly from the FRR site did you find more material about this? Always wanting to learn
@@ZippyDooDa435 I've known about them for a while, but to me it seems more like a toy network. I am interested in building skills with real carriers and equipment. However I do appreciate the suggestion, I bet they are a great group.
