BGP Test LAB
Purpose
To practice using BGP advertisements in PFSense. Eventually using AWS CloudHub to maintain multiple sites.
Setup
Initial setup includes four PFSense VMs.
- One shared network between the VMs to simulate the internet.
- Then one per VM and client pair.
Total of four networks needed.
PFSense Config
In the lab I provided each VM with a connection to the bridged network to my LAN. This allows them to download the OpenBGP package and allows me to access the web inerfaces.
- NOTE : Make sure to allow the web interface on WAN. The WAN interface is the default for the bridged network and you can get yourself locked out.
