  • 1.  Bgp Peer with multiples as number

    Posted 23 days ago

    Hello 

    We have 2 sites dc1 and dc2

    My network collègue Said me 

    On dc1 

    Configuré bgp Peer 1.1.1.1 with as number 65010 and second Peer 1.1.2.1 with as 65010 

    On dc2 

    Configure 

    1.1.1.1 with as number 65020

    1.1.2.1 with as number 65020

    Is it possible 

    Regards

    This should be possible. You should be able to peer T0 with two BGP peers with same BGP AS numbers despite of them being on different sites.

    ok so I had configured 

    bgp peer

    1.1.1.1 as 65010

    1.1.1.2 as 6510

    when I try to ad 1.1.1.1 as 65020 I had an error bgp peer already exist

    I think is not possible

    Are 65010 and 65020 your ASNs on T0?

    Non my local ADN on the T0 is 65100

    The 65010 and 65020 is the remote ASN for the 2 sites

    Got it. So you can't, your T0 is 1 logical router, even it is spread over number of edges.

    Andrew is correct-you cannot configure the same BGP peer more than once on the same Tier-0 (T0) gateway on a single node, regardless of whether the AS number is the same or different.  

    As for your scenario across two data centers:  
    - If both DCs share the same underlying physical network, it's feasible to use the same BGP peer IP and ASN across sites.  
    - However, if each DC connects to distinct physical network devices, then each peer must have a unique IP, and you'll need to use different BGP ASNs for each site to maintain proper routing separation.

    If your question is still unresolved, I highly recommend sharing a network diagram to illustrate your architecture and desired outcome. Even a rough whiteboarding sketch can go a long way-these visuals often bridge communication gaps that text alone can't fill.

    Agree with Chandra Morkonda and Andrew's comment, as the same BGP peering can't be peered more than once at a T0 Gateway.
