BGP At Doors of Autonomous Systems is Simple

The purpose of this project is to deepen our knowledge of networking by simulating several networks (VXLAN+BGP-EVPN) in GNS3.

Introduction

The purpose of this project is to expand on the knowledge in networking by simulating a network and configure it using GNS3 with Docker images.

BGP EVPN is based on BGP (RFC4271) and its extensions MP-BGP (RFC4760). BGP is the routing protocol that drives the Internet. Through MP-BGP extensions, it can be used to carry reachability information (NLRI) for various protocols (IPv4, IPv6, L3 VPN and in this case, EVPN). EVPN is a special family for publishing information about MAC addresses and the end devices that access them.

General guidelines

• The whole project has to be done in a virtual machine.
• This project involves using and installing Docker as well as GNS3.
• We have to put all the configuration files of your project in folders located at the root of your repository.

The folders of the mandatory part will be named: p1, p2 and p3.

Mandatory part

This project will consist of setting up several environments under specific rules. It is divided into three parts you have to do in the following order:

• Part 1 : GNS3 configuration with Docker.
• Part 2 : Discovering a VXLAN.
• Part 3 : Discovering BGP with EVPN.
