BGP Support for IP Clustering

Nokia IPSO supports BGP in IP clusters. With previous versions of IPSO, clusters did not support dynamic routing. On a failover, BGP stops running on the previous master and establishes its peering relationship on a new master. You must configure a cluster IP address as a local address when you run BGP in clustered mode. For more information on IP Clustering, see “IP Clustering Description” on page 207.

Note

Nokia recommends that you configure BGP in an IP cluster so that peer traffic does not run on the primary and secondary cluster protocol interfaces.

Note

BGP support for IP clustering is only available for IPv4 BGP sessions, not for IPv6. On an IP cluster, you are not allowed to configure IPv6 peer.

BGP Memory Requirements

Tables

BGP stores its routing information in routing information bases (RIBs).
