CLI Syntax

Ethernet Segment Identifier

Some route types requires to specify Ethernet Segment Identifier (ESI) for its argument. The supported ESI types and their formats are the following.

Type Format Description
0 single-homed Reserved keyword for arbitrary ESI type to denote a single-homed site.
0 0 The same with "single-homed".
0 ARBITRARY <Value> Arbitrary ESI type with arbitrary value. Value should be colon separated hex values (similar to MAC address).
1 LACP <MAC> <Port Key> Type for LACP configured segment.
2 MSTP <MAC> <Priority> Type for L2 bridge protocol (e.g., Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol) configured segment.
3 MAC <MAC> <Discriminator> Type for ESI based on MAC address.
4 ROUTERID <Router ID> <Discriminator> Type for ESI based on Router ID.
5 AS <AS> <Discriminator> Type for ESI based on AS number.

Reference

Router's MAC Option

The router-mac option in gobgp CLI allows sending Router's MAC Extended Community via BGP EVPN Type 2 and Type 5 advertisements.

As explained in below RFC draft, this community is used to carry the MAC address of the VTEP where MAC-IP pair resides.

For example, GoBGP router (R1) peers with Cisco router (R2). R1 is used by an orchestraction platform, e.g. OpenStack, Docker Swarm, etc., to advertise container MAC-IP bindings. When R1 advertises the binding it also sets next hop for the route as the host where the MAC-IP binding (i.e. container) resides. When R2 receives the route, it will not install it unless Router's MAC Extended Community is present. R2 will use the MAC address in the community to create an entry in MAC address table of R2 pointint to NVE interface.

gobgp global rib -a evpn add macadv e9:72:d7:aa:1f:b4 \
    172.16.100.100 etag 0 label 34567 rd 10.1.1.1:100 \
    rt 65001:100 encap vxlan nexthop 10.10.10.10 \
    origin igp router-mac e9:72:d7:aa:1f:b4

gobgp global rib -a evpn add nexthop 10.10.10.10 origin igp \

    rt 65001:100 gw 10.10.10.10 label 34567 encap vxlan \
    router-mac e9:72:d7:aa:1f:b4

In the above example, a host with IP of 10.10.10.10 runs a container connected to an Open vSwitch instance. The container's IP address is 172.16.100.100 and MAC address e9:72:d7:aa:1f:b4. The Open vSwitch is VTEP with tunnel_key=34567, i.e. VNID 34567.

GoBGP (R1) and Cisco (R2) routers are in BGP AS 65001. R1's IP is 10.1.1.1. R2 used RT of 65001:100 to import routes and place them into appropriate VRF. In this case the VRF is associated with L2VNI from VLAN 300. Upon the receipt of the above BGP EVPN Type 2 and Type 5 routes, R2 will create create a MAC address entry pointing to it's NVE interface with destination IP address of 10.10.10.10.

The R2 will use the router-mac e9:72:d7:aa:1f:b4 as the destination MAC address of the inner VXLAN packet. For example, an underlay host 20.20.20.20 ping the container. The inner VXLAN L2 destination address is e9:72:d7:aa:1f:b4. The inner VXLAN L2 source address is R2's MAC. The outer VXLAN L3 source address, i.e. 10.2.2.2 is R2' NVE address.

OUTER VXLAN L2: 10:20:08:d0:ff:23 > b2:0e:19:6a:8d:51
OUTER VXLAN L3: 10.2.2.2.45532 > 10.10.10.10.4789: VXLAN, flags [I] (0x08), vni 34567
INNER VXLAN L2: 4e:f4:ca:aa:f6:7b > e9:72:d7:aa:1f:b4

BaGPipe

This example uses BaGPipe. GoBGP receives routes from one BaGPipe peer and advertises it to another BaGPipe peer.

NOTE: The following supposes to use BaGPipe version "7.0.0".

Configuration

Please note BaGPipe supports only iBGP. So here supposes a topology that GoBGP is configured as Route Reflector. Two BaGPipe peers are Route Reflector clients and not connected to each other. Then the following example shows two OSS BGP implementations can interchange EVPN messages.

Topology:

           +------------+
           | GoBGP (RR) |
     +-----| AS 65000   |-----+
     |     | 10.0.0.254 |     |
     |     +------------+     |
     |                        |
   (iBGP)                  (iBGP)
     |                        |
+----------+            +----------+
| BaGPipe  |            | BaGPipe  |
| AS 65000 |            | AS 65000 |
| 10.0.0.1 |            | 10.0.0.2 |
+----------+            +----------+

The following shows the sample configuration for GoBGP. The point is that "l2vpn-evpn" families to be advertised need to be specified.

GoBGP on "10.0.0.254": gobgpd.toml

[global.config]
  as = 65000
  router-id = "10.0.0.254"

[[neighbors]]
  [neighbors.config]
    neighbor-address = "10.0.0.1"
    peer-as = 65000
  [neighbors.route-reflector.config]
    route-reflector-client = true
    route-reflector-cluster-id = "10.0.0.254"
  [[neighbors.afi-safis]]
    [neighbors.afi-safis.config]
      afi-safi-name = "l2vpn-evpn"

[[neighbors]]
  [neighbors.config]
    neighbor-address = "10.0.0.2"
    peer-as = 65000
  [neighbors.route-reflector.config]
    route-reflector-client = true
    route-reflector-cluster-id = "10.0.0.254"
  [[neighbors.afi-safis]]
    [neighbors.afi-safis.config]
      afi-safi-name = "l2vpn-evpn"

If you are not familiar with BaGPipe, the following shows our configuration files.

BaGPipe peer on "10.0.0.1": /etc/bagpipe-bgp/bgp.conf

[BGP]
local_address=10.0.0.1
peers=10.0.0.254
my_as=65000
enable_rtc=True

[API]
host=localhost
port=8082

[DATAPLANE_DRIVER_IPVPN]
dataplane_driver = DummyDataplaneDriver

[DATAPLANE_DRIVER_EVPN]
dataplane_driver = DummyDataplaneDriver

BaGPipe peer on "10.0.0.2": /etc/bagpipe-bgp/bgp.conf

[BGP]
local_address=10.0.0.2
peers=10.0.0.254
my_as=65000
enable_rtc=True

[API]
api_host=localhost
api_port=8082

[DATAPLANE_DRIVER_IPVPN]
dataplane_driver = DummyDataplaneDriver

[DATAPLANE_DRIVER_EVPN]
dataplane_driver = DummyDataplaneDriver

Then, run GoBGP and BaGPipe peers.

# GoBGP
$ gobgpd -f gobgpd.toml

# BaGPipe
# If bgp.conf does not locate on the default path, please specify the config file as following.
$ bagpipe-bgp --config-file /etc/bagpipe-bgp/bgp.conf

Advertising EVPN route

As you expect, the RIBs at BaGPipe peer on "10.0.0.2" has nothing.

# BaGPipe peer on "10.0.0.2"
$ bagpipe-looking-glass bgp routes
l2vpn/evpn,*: -
ipv4/mpls-vpn,*: -
ipv4/rtc,*: -
ipv4/flow-vpn,*: -

Let's advertise EVPN routes from BaGPipe peer on "10.0.0.1".

# BaGPipe peer on "10.0.0.1"
$ bagpipe-rest-attach --attach --network-type evpn --port tap-dummy --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 --ip 11.11.11.1 --gateway-ip 11.11.11.254 --rt 65000:77 --vni 100
request: {"import_rt": ["65000:77"], "lb_consistent_hash_order": 0, "vpn_type": "evpn", "vni": 100, "vpn_instance_id": "evpn-bagpipe-test", "ip_address": "11.11.11.1/24", "export_rt": ["65000:77"], "local_port": {"linuxif": "tap-dummy"}, "advertise_subnet": false, "attract_traffic": {}, "gateway_ip": "11.11.11.254", "mac_address": "00:11:22:33:44:55", "readvertise": null}
response: 200 null

Now the RIBs at GoBGP and BaGPipe peer "10.0.0.2" has the advertised routes. The route was interchanged via GoBGP peer.

# GoBGP

YABGP

Just like the example using BaGPipe, this example uses YABGP. GoBGP receives EVPN routes from one YABGP peer and re-advertises it to another YABGP peer.

NOTE: The following supposes to use YABGP version "0.4.0".

Configuration

YABGP supports eBGP peering. The following example shows GoBGP and two YABGP peers are connected with eBGP and GoBGP interchanges EVPN routes from one YABGP peer to another.

Topology:

           +------------+
           | GoBGP      |
     +-----| AS 65254   |-----+
     |     | 10.0.0.254 |     |
     |     +------------+     |
     |                        |
   (eBGP)                  (eBGP)
     |                        |
+----------+            +----------+
| YABGP    |            | YABGP    |
| AS 65001 |            | AS 65002 |
| 10.0.0.1 |            | 10.0.0.2 |
+----------+            +----------+

GoBGP on "10.0.0.254": gobgpd.toml

[global.config]
  as = 65254
  router-id = "10.0.0.254"

[[neighbors]]
  [neighbors.config]
    neighbor-address = "10.0.0.1"
    peer-as = 65001
  [[neighbors.afi-safis]]
    [neighbors.afi-safis.config]
      afi-safi-name = "l2vpn-evpn"

[[neighbors]]
  [neighbors.config]
    neighbor-address = "10.0.0.2"
    peer-as = 65002
  [[neighbors.afi-safis]]
    [neighbors.afi-safis.config]
      afi-safi-name = "l2vpn-evpn"

You can start YABGP with the following CLI options:

# YABGP peer on "10.0.0.1"
$ yabgpd --bgp-local_as=65001 --bgp-local_addr=10.0.0.1 --bgp-remote_addr=10.0.0.254 --bgp-remote_as=65254 --bgp-afi_safi=evpn

# YABGP peer on "10.0.0.2"
$ yabgpd --bgp-local_as=65002 --bgp-local_addr=10.0.0.2 --bgp-remote_addr=10.0.0.254 --bgp-remote_as=65254 --bgp-afi_safi=evpn

Then, you can see GoBGP can connect to two YABGP peers by using gobgp command:

# GoBGP
$ gobgpd -f gobgpd.toml
...(snip)...

$ gobgp neighbor
Peer        AS  Up/Down State       |#Received  Accepted
10.0.0.1 65001 hh:mm:ss Establ      |        0         0
10.0.0.2 65002 hh:mm:ss Establ      |        0         0

Advertising EVPN route

We can advertise EVPN routes from YABGP 10.0.0.1 through its REST API. In the REST request, you need to specify the Authorization header is admin/admin, and the Content-Type is application/json.

Request URL for sending UPDATE messages:

POST http://10.0.0.1:8801/v1/peer/10.0.0.254/send/update

We will run this API four times to advertise four EVPN route types. The following example use "curl" command for sending POST request.

EVPN type 1:

curl -X POST -u admin:admin -H 'Content-Type: application/json' http://10.0.0.1:8801/v1/peer/10.0.0.254/send/update -d '{

        "16": [
            "mac-mobility:1:500"
        ]
    }
}'

EVPN type 3:

                }
            ]
        }
    }

}'

GoBGP will receive these four routes and re-advertise them to YABGP peer on "10.0.0.2"
