💪Taking a look at configuring BGP on MikroTik RoSv7

Soooo many of you have been asking me to make a video on how to configure BGP on RoSv7, and here it is! This video will briefly be taking a look at what BGP is, how to configure this and how to advertise routes via it. I hope you enjoy!

Once again, you have saved me a ton of stress re: eBGP. we just implemented RouterOS 7 and I was extremely hesitant to deploy because of everything bad I was hearing from colleagues about it. Thank you!!!

I've left the issues I ran into during the configuration on purpose instead of cutting it out since I suspect many of you may run into these issues yourselves. Please let me know how you feel about RoSv7 so far and what you think about BGP? Have you tried setting it up yourself? Have you seen the Route filters? What's your opinion?

Note: The issue I picked up while trying to unset a certain part of the configuration is not the result of a bug, MikroTik requires you to print details whenever needing to set/unset specific parts of configuration. Thank you Christian Hesse for pointing this out!

Love this video!! it explains simple how to configure BGP!!! on RouterOS v7.1.1. Thanks so much

[thefixitgal]

OMG Thank you! Ros is quite different. Its awesome that your making tutorials for using it. Have you done an OSPF tutorial yet ? <3 <3 <3

The command you are looking for is "/routing/bgp/connection/set 0 the number is the first parameter to the set command.

Also around 11:40 when you say at rr = route reflect that is actually route refresh which is a very different thing. What you show later is somewhat showing that it may not be fully working as well although I will stress test that myself in a bit, the first disable / re-enable is normal unfortunately as adding the filters would have automatically dropped and re-established the peer (would be great if they can fix that).


Otherwise fairly accurate video, BGP is not fully ready for the lime light but they are working on it hopefully we have a stable implementation soon which I guess will be the new LTS.

Wow love this video!!! I wish you can look into new QoS such as CAKE

Awesome vid ~ i have 2 ebgp feeds, both sending default routes ~ how to set Local Pref on one route as to NOT prefer it?

[rajeshbose]

Thanks . Please continue. more video with BGP

Hello there, I am doing ebgp on ipv6 and ipv4 separately between a v7.1.1 router and long term 6.48.6 because both are in production and cannot upgrade the one to 7, my problem is the one that happens to you to the end i cannot advertise my ipv6 network from v7 to long term, on the other hand i can push ipv6 default route from the long term router to v7 router, and i have tried both output redistribute and out put network by building an ipv6/address list. This is only for the ipv6 on ipv4 works great

[BattousaiHBr]

it's weird considering how widely used the address list is on the whole system that it's still within the firewall menu and not its own dedicated menu.

Hi there.. i have a question where i have 3 routers config w/ ibgp. R1-cisco R2-Mikrotik R3-Mikrotik. The issue is that R3-Mikrotik will not able to reach the loopback of R1 ?? I did use route-reflector but still not reachable. Thanks in advance.

hey johnny - how about deploying a docker in ROS v7.6+ running a FRRouting instance in it to have the benefit of a more fully fledged BGP(+BFD) implementation? maybe as a RR in the docker and the MT establishes a BGP session also to the frrouting container
btw. this way a mikrotik also could be able to connect to an IS-IS ;)


hm, i need to look into frrouting... cheers

Could you please make a video with bgp multiwan on router os v6 with best practise in configuring router for ISP

[seungtaekoh]

Thank you for your great video, could you share mikroTik eve ng image? and unl file?

[jefftee]

Just let us know when you move your production network over to v7. Only then will I seriously consider the upgrade. Im estimating it wont be production ready until at least LTS 7.2. Ill probably wait to LTS 7.3,

[josivan]

good afternoon, how to see the routes sent in the bgp session ?

[cardikAssss]

How about vrf redistribution vía BGP? Couldnt make it work and migrating from ROS6 to ROS7 Made a working config fail.

[lanceevans]

I know v7 still has bugs, currently been labing v7.3.1 which seems the least buggy for now. Recently purchased CCR2116 for an isp client. It comes stock with v7, u recommend going ahead with v7 config? Not sure if i can rollback to v6 anyways.

[vincentbantolo]

is there an update source just like in bgp peer > adv tab on ROSv6? trying to link bgp vpls

[Raphael-dfzt]

Could you make a video about Failover on R7
