Configure Trusted Virtual IP Address

You must select one trusted Virtual IP address (VIP) at each site to use for iBGP peerings across Oracle SD-WAN Edge.

To use a Virtual IP Address for Dynamic Routing, go to Sites, and then [Site Name], and then Virtual IP Addresses. Click the Identity checkbox for a Virtual IP Address to use it for IP services.

INSERT ALT TEXT

To configure BGP (iBGP or eBGP) follow the steps below:

  1. Under Connections > [Site Name] > Route Learning > BGP > Basic Settings click the Edit (INSERT ALT TEXT) icon.
  2. Click the Enable checkbox, click the Advertise Routes checkbox if you wish to advertise Oracle SD-WAN Edge. Routes to the router that Oracle is peering with, enter an optional Router ID, and enter the number of the Local Autonomous System. Click Apply to enable BGP.

INSERT ALT TEXT

  1. Expand BGP, and then Neighbors and click the Add (+) icon.

INSERT ALT TEXT

Note:

If there is only one Routing Domain configured, the Routing Domain column will not appear. If Identity is not checked for a specific Virtual IP Address (see the Virtual IP Address Identity section for more details), the associated Virtual Interface will not be available for IP services.

Note:

If the Remote AS matches the Oracle Local Autonomous System, then this will be iBGP peering, otherwise, it will be eBGP peering.
  1. Choose a Virtual Interface from the drop-down menu. The Virtual Interface will determine the Source IP Address.
  2. Enter the IP Address of the BGP Neighbor router in the Neighbor IP field.
  3. In the Hold Time (s) field, enter the Hold Time, in seconds, to wait before declaring a neighbor down (the default is 180).
  4. In the Local Preference (s) field, enter the Local Preference value, in seconds, which is used for selection from multiple BGP routes (the default is 100).
  5. Click the IGP Metric checkbox to enable the comparison of internal distances to calculate the best route.
  6. In the Password field, enter a password for MD5 authentication of BGP sessions (authentication is not required).
