FastNetMon has complete support for GoBGP for BGP announce and includes compatible GoBGP in our official packages.
NB! For FastNetMon Advanced edition please use this guide instead.
We have following configuration options for GoBGP in /etc/fastnetmon.conf:
gobgp = on gobgp_next_hop = 1.2.3.4 gobgp_announce_host = on gobgp_announce_whole_subnet = off gobgp_community_host = 65001:666 gobgp_community_subnet = 65001:777 # Configuration for IPv6 announces gobgp_next_hop_ipv6 = 100::1 gobgp_announce_host_ipv6 = on gobgp_announce_whole_subnet_ipv6 = off gobgp_community_host_ipv6 = 65001:666 gobgp_community_subnet_ipv6 = 65001:777
To establish BGP session with your network equipment you need to create configuration for GoBGP in /etc/gobgpd.conf file:
[global.config]
as = 65001
router-id = "192.168.1.134"
[[neighbors]]
[neighbors.config]
neighbor-address = "192.168.1.188"
peer-as = 65001
[neighbors.ebgp-multihop.config]
enabled = true
[[neighbors.afi-safis]]
[neighbors.afi-safis.config]
afi-safi-name = "ipv4-unicast"
[[neighbors.afi-safis]]
[neighbors.afi-safis.config]
afi-safi-name = "ipv6-unicast"
[neighbors.transport.config]
local-address = "192.168.1.134"
Run it:
sudo /opt/fastnetmon-community/libraries/gobgp_3_12_0/gobgpd -f /etc/gobgpd.conf
After that, you will see following log message when BGP session was established successfully:
{"Key":"192.168.1.188","State":"BGP_FSM_OPENCONFIRM","Topic":"Peer","level":"info","msg":"Peer Up","time":"2020-05-24T14:42:12+01:00"}
You may check neighbor’s status this way:
/opt/fastnetmon-community/libraries/gobgp_3_12_0/gobgp nei 192.168.1.188
Example output:
BGP neighbor is 192.168.1.188, remote AS 65001
BGP version 4, remote router ID 192.168.1.188
BGP state = ESTABLISHED, up for 00:01:24
BGP OutQ = 0, Flops = 0
Hold time is 90, keepalive interval is 30 seconds
Configured hold time is 90, keepalive interval is 30 seconds

To control BGP announces directly from FastNetMon you may consider using command line tool.
