BGP Vagrant Demo

• 2 directories, each containing a Vagrantfile
  • 1 virtual router
  • 1 Ubuntu box (exabgp node)

Exercise Tasks

Virtual router configuration

• Modify Vagrantfile to point to the correct url to download the base box
• Change first interface of the Virtual Machine from NAT to host-only in Virtualbox

ExaBGP Node Configuration

Create a Vagrantfile with the following characteristics:

• host ip address = 192.168.33.254/24
• pip install exabgp
• Use provided config.ini file to configure exabgp with
  • neighbor 192.168.33.2
  • local-as 65000
  • peer-as 65000
• using the ExaBGP Documentation, modify the announce-route.py file to advertise at least two routes to the virtual router

Appendix

Notes on Virtual Router Configuration

Create a Vagrantfile with the following characteristics:

• host ip address = 192.168.1.1/24

1. download Cisco CSR1000v iso (req. CISCO login, valid US address, export control EULA)

2. create a VM using defaults specified at https://github.com/cldeluna/vagrant-ios-xe

2a) bunch of manual configuration before you package the box, documented at

https://codingpackets.com/blog/cisco-csr-vagrant-box-install/

TODO: there is a bug with vagrant ssh and/or the router config we can ssh vagrant@192.168.33.2 (-i ~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key) successfully, but not vagrant ssh the script is giving us an authentication failure and seems to be trying to ssh to vagrant@127.0.0.1?

3. vagrant package --base <vm_name> --output ~/.vagrant.d/boxes/<box_name>.box vagrant box add <box_name> </path/to/box_name> vagrant box list # to check if it was imported correctly
