BLADEOS 6.5.2 Application Guide

1.Define the VLANs.

For simplicity, both default gateways are configured in the same VLAN in this example. The gateways could be in the same VLAN or different VLANs.

>># vlan 1

>>(config-vlan)# member <port number>

2.Define the IP interfaces with IPv4 addresses.

The switch will need an IP interface for each default gateway to which it will be connected. Each interface must be placed in the appropriate VLAN. These interfaces will be used as the primary and secondary default gateways for the switch.

>># interface ip 1

>>(config-ip-if)#ip address 200.200.200.1

>>(config-ip-if)#ip netmask 255.255.255.0

>>(config-ip-if)# enable

>>(config-ip-if)# exit

>># interface ip 2

>>(config-ip-if)#ip address 210.210.210.1

>>(config-ip-if)#ip netmask 255.255.255.0

>>(config-ip-if)# enable

>>(config-ip-if)# exit

3.Enable IP forwarding.

IP forwarding is turned on by default and is used for VLAN-to-VLAN (non-BGP) routing. Make sure IP forwarding is on if the default gateways are on different subnets or if the switch is connected to different subnets and those subnets need to communicate through the switch (which they almost always do).

>># ip routing

Note – To help eliminate the possibility for a Denial of Service (DoS) attack, the forwarding of directed broadcasts is disabled by default.

4.Configure BGP peer router 1 and 2 with IPv4 addresses.

>># router bgp

>>(config-router-bgp)#neighbor 1 remote-address 200.200.200.2

>>(config-router-bgp)#neighbor 1 remote-as 100

>>(config-router-bgp)#neighbor 2 remote-address 210.210.210.2

>>(config-router-bgp)#neighbor 2 remote-as 200
