This series of BGP hands-on labs will help you master numerous aspects of EBGP, IBGP, and BGP routing policy configuration on a platform of your choice1, including:
- Arista EOS
- Aruba AOS-CX
- Cisco ASAv, IOSv, IOS XE, IOS XR and Nexus OS
- Cumulus Linux and FRR
- Dell OS10
- Juniper vSRX, vMX and vPTX
- Mikrotik RouterOS
- Nokia SR OS and SR Linux
- Vyatta VyOS
Dozens of labs are already waiting for you (with more coming soon), but if this is your first visit to this site, you should start with the Installation and Setup documentation or run BGP labs in GitHub codespaces.
The BIRD project aims to develop a fully functional dynamic IP routing daemon primarily targeted on (but not limited to) Linux, FreeBSD and other UNIX-like systems and distributed under the GNU General Public License.
FRRouting (FRR) is an IP routing protocol suite for Linux and Unix platforms which
includes protocol daemons for BGP, IS-IS, LDP, OSPF, PIM, and RIP.
FRR’s seamless integration with the native Linux/Unix IP networking stacks
makes it applicable to a wide variety of use cases including connecting
hosts/VMs/containers to the network, advertising network services, LAN
switching and routing, Internet access routers, and Internet peering.
FRR has its roots in the Quagga project. In fact, it was started by many
long-time Quagga developers who combined their efforts to improve on
Quagga's well-established foundation in order to create the best routing
protocol stack available. We invite you to participate in the FRRouting
community and help shape the future of networking.
Join the ranks of network architects using FRR for ISPs, SaaS infrastructure,
web 2.0 businesses, hyperscale services, and Fortune 500 private clouds.
