Click Yes to add the required dynamic routing policy.If an enabled dynamic routing policy does not exist, Policy Manager asks if you want to add the required dynamic routing policy. Network: network IP address that you want to advertise a route to from the Internet Router BGP: BGP autonomous system number supplied by your ISP These three commands start the BGP process, set up a peer relationship with the ISP, and create a route for a network to the Internet. To get started, you need only three commands in your BGP configuration file. Or, copy and paste your configuration file in the text box.įor more information, see About Routing Daemon Configuration Files. Click Import to import a routing daemon configuration file.Select the Enable Dynamic Routing check box.The Dynamic Routing Setup dialog box appears. For more information, see Configure a Loopback Interface.

If your Firebox has multi-WAN enabled, you can configure a loopback interface, and use the IP address of the loopback interface instead of the IP address of the physical interfaces in the dynamic routing configuration.

To set the router-id, use the command bgp router-id in your BGP configuration, where ip-address is the IP address of the Firebox interface that connects to the router. Do not use the FireCluster management IP address or cluster IP address as the router-id. This is to make sure that the routing protocol does not try to use the FireCluster management IP address as the router-id. If you enable BGP for a FireCluster, you must set the router-id in the BGP configuration to the IP address of the Firebox interface that connects to the router. You can configure BGP to do dynamic routing for both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. For more information, see About Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

For internal BGP between private networks you must use a private AS number. To participate in BGP with an ISP you must have a public autonomous system (AS) number.
