BGP dynamic routing¶
BGP dynamic routing enables advertisement of self-service (private) network prefixes to physical network devices that support BGP such as routers, thus removing the conventional dependency on static routes. The feature relies on address scopes and requires knowledge of their operation for proper deployment.
BGP dynamic routing consists of a service plug-in and an agent. The service plug-in implements the Networking service extension and the agent manages BGP peering sessions. A cloud administrator creates and configures a BGP speaker using the CLI or API and manually schedules it to one or more hosts running the agent. Agents can reside on hosts with or without other Networking service agents. Prefix advertisement depends on the binding of external networks to a BGP speaker and the address scope of external and internal IP address ranges or subnets.
Note
Although self-service networks generally use private IP address ranges (RFC1918) for IPv4 subnets, BGP dynamic routing can advertise any IPv4 address ranges.
Example configuration¶
The example configuration involves the following components:
- One BGP agent.
- One address scope containing IP address range 203.0.113.0/24 for provider networks, and IP address ranges 192.0.2.0/25 and 192.0.2.128/25 for self-service networks.
- One provider network using IP address range 203.0.113.0/24.
- Three self-service networks.
- Self-service networks 1 and 2 use IP address ranges inside of the address scope.
- Self-service network 3 uses a unique IP address range 198.51.100.0/24 to demonstrate that the BGP speaker does not advertise prefixes outside of address scopes.
- Three routers. Each router connects one self-service network to the
provider network.
- Router 1 contains IP addresses 203.0.113.11 and 192.0.2.1
- Router 2 contains IP addresses 203.0.113.12 and 192.0.2.129
- Router 3 contains IP addresses 203.0.113.13 and 198.51.100.1
Note
The example configuration assumes sufficient knowledge about the Networking service, routing, and BGP. For basic deployment of the Networking service, consult one of the Deployment examples. For more information on BGP, see RFC 4271.
Controller node¶
In the
neutron.conffile, enable the conventional layer-3 and BGP dynamic routing service plug-ins:[DEFAULT] service_plugins = neutron_dynamic_routing.services.bgp.bgp_plugin.BgpPlugin,neutron.services.l3_router.l3_router_plugin.L3RouterPlugin
Agent nodes¶
In the
bgp_dragent.inifile:Configure the driver.
[BGP] bgp_speaker_driver = neutron_dynamic_routing.services.bgp.agent.driver.ryu.driver.RyuBgpDriver
Note
The agent currently only supports the Ryu BGP driver.
Configure the router ID.
[BGP] bgp_router_id = ROUTER_ID
Replace
ROUTER_IDwith a suitable unique 32-bit number, typically an IPv4 address on the host running the agent. For example, 192.0.2.2.
Verify service operation¶
Source the administrative project credentials.
Verify presence and operation of each BGP dynamic routing agent.

Create the address scope and subnet pools¶
Create an address scope. The provider (external) and self-service networks must belong to the same address scope for the agent to advertise those self-service network prefixes.

LOCAL_ASwith an appropriate local autonomous system number. The example configuration uses AS 1234.A BGP speaker requires association with a provider network to determine eligible prefixes. The association builds a list of all virtual routers with gateways on provider and self-service networks in the same address scope so the BGP speaker can advertise self-service network prefixes with the corresponding router as the next-hop IP address. Associate the BGP speaker with the provider network.

Note
After creating a peering session, you cannot change the local or remote autonomous system numbers.
Schedule the BGP speaker to an agent¶
Unlike most agents, BGP speakers require manual scheduling to an agent. BGP speakers only form peering sessions and begin prefix advertisement after scheduling to an agent. Schedule the BGP speaker to agent

Prefix advertisement¶
BGP dynamic routing advertises prefixes for self-service networks and host routes for floating IP addresses.
Advertisement of a self-service network requires satisfying the following conditions:
- The external and self-service network reside in the same address scope.
- The router contains an interface on the self-service subnet and a gateway on the external network.
- The BGP speaker associates with the external network that provides a gateway on the router.
- The BGP speaker has the
advertise_tenant_networksattribute set toTrue.
Advertisement of a floating IP address requires satisfying the following conditions:
- The router with the floating IP address binding contains a gateway on an external network with the BGP speaker association.
- The BGP speaker has the
advertise_floating_ip_host_routesattribute set toTrue.
Operation with Distributed Virtual Routers (DVR)¶
In deployments using DVR, the BGP speaker advertises floating IP addresses and self-service networks differently. For floating IP addresses, the BGP speaker advertises the floating IP agent gateway on the corresponding compute node as the next-hop IP address. For self-service networks using SNAT, the BGP speaker advertises the DVR SNAT node as the next-hop IP address.
For example, consider the following components:
- A provider network using IP address range 203.0.113.0/24, and supporting floating IP addresses 203.0.113.101, 203.0.113.102, and 203.0.113.103.
- A self-service network using IP address range 198.51.100.0/24.
- The SNAT gateway resides on 203.0.113.11.
- The floating IP agent gateways (one per compute node) reside on 203.0.113.12, 203.0.113.13, and 203.0.113.14.
- Three instances, one per compute node, each with a floating IP address.

Note
DVR lacks support for routing directly to a fixed IP address via the floating IP agent gateway port and thus prevents the BGP speaker from advertising fixed IP addresses.
You can also identify floating IP agent gateways in your environment to assist with verifying operation of the BGP speaker.

IPv6¶
BGP dynamic routing supports peering via IPv6 and advertising IPv6 prefixes.
- To enable peering via IPv6, create a BGP peer and use an IPv6 address for
peer_ip. - To enable advertising IPv6 prefixes, create an address scope with
ip_version=6and a BGP speaker withip_version=6.
Note
DVR with IPv6 functions similarly to DVR with IPv4.
High availability¶
BGP dynamic routing supports scheduling a BGP speaker to multiple agents which effectively multiplies prefix advertisements to the same peer. If an agent fails, the peer continues to receive advertisements from one or more operational agents.
