I’m looking at doing a switch centric design and having a preseem appliance (a bridge) in the loop.
I’m wondering if I can add multiple BGP peers on the V5000 radio so I can handle bypassing the preseem appliance through BGP.
Topology (router will be trunk ports, others will be access ports on the switch)
WAN>Switch(VLAN20-WAN)
Router-port1>Switch(VLAN20-WAN)
V5000>Switch(VLAN50-terragraph)
Preseem-port1>Switch(VLAN50-terragraph)
Router-port3>Switch(VLAN50-terragraph)
Router-port2>Switch(VLAN51-corenet
Preseem-port2>Switch(VLAN51-corenet)
The goal to peer between V5000 and Router on VLAN50 and a second peer on VLAN51. to have a through-preseem path and a bypass path and add one to the AS path to favor the preseem path.
excluding the switch fabric:
WAN>ROUTER>PRESEEM>V5000 is the 0 cost path
WAN>ROUTER>V5000 is the +1 cost path
Can I do this, does the V5000 have the ability to have multiple peers like this?
