Border Gateway Protocol
Figure 15: Example BGP Failover Configuration
On Alteon, one peer router (the secondary one) is configured with a longer AS path than the other,
so that the peer with the shorter AS path will be seen by Alteon as the primary default gateway. ISP
2, the secondary peer, is configured with a metric of 3, appearing to Alteon to be three router hops
away.
Example
1. Configure Alteon as you normally would for Server Load Balancing (SLB).
— Assign an IP address to each of the real servers in the server pool.
— Define each real server.
— Define a real server group.
— Define a virtual server.
— Define the port configuration.
For more information about SLB configuration, see
2. Define the VLANs.
For simplicity, both default gateways are configured on the same VLAN in this example. The
gateways could be in the same VLAN or different VLANs.
>> # /cfg/l2/vlan 1
>> vlan 1# add <port number>
3. Define the IP interfaces.
