BGP on Fortigate - In depth Guide plus important topical exam concepts!

[@funmemes5915]

This is the greatest tutorial for the BGP configuration in KZbin. Sound and Clear. Thanks for your time and effort.. Cheers!!!!

[@vidmooreda]

This is a great tutorial. Thanks for your hard work. Very understandable and the logic flows well.

[@MuhammadImran-xu4fw]

Awesome, Do you provide online training classes also?

[@staticroute]

Hi Muhammad, thank you for tuning in and being part of our little community..to answer your question, I'm not yet ready for that but it is definately the plan.

[@chrism589]

@@staticroute Would be interested in that.

[@AhmadSwailem]

this is very interesting and helpful, Thank you for the share! keep up the good work.

[@staticroute]

thank you, there are certainly more videos coming up in the near future!!

[@GregKamer]

Great video and explanation! Thank you and you've got a sub from me!

[@chrism589]

Great video. With BGP load balancing is it worth implementing SDWAN. I know SDWAN is a more granular way of moving round your traffic to depending upon type etc but if you just want to ensure all your traffic is getting out then SDWAN become redundant ? thanks, Chris.

[@staticroute]

Hi Chris, I understand what you mean, and you make a valid point. In that context BGP has many capabilities that overlap with those of SDWAN, but it’s also necessary to note they’re used for different specific purposes. For the most part, they’re used together.

Can I ask how you get so many fortigate vm account?

[@casalosa]

hey i noticed that when you configured the set set-aspath on the two firewalls, you used much larger numbers: set set-aspath "100 200 300" vs set set-aspath "1000 2000 3000 4000" was that intentional? or should each config have the same values? such as: set set-aspath "100 200 300" and set set-aspath "100 200 300 400"

[@staticroute]

@@casalosa hey there, both methods are correct, even “100 100 100” vs “100 100 100 100” would work, the idea is just to make the as-path longer and less favourable

[@sandunsulochana3671]

Superb.

[@staticroute]

Thank you

[@yanivaloosh4597]

Can you please share the Cisco routers configuration?

[@staticroute]

hey there, unfortunately up until now I don't keep the configs once I'm done with the video. However, I will be releasing more videos focussed on advanced routing with Cisco routers. But going forward I will upload to Github all config files :-D

[@jcmoscosop]

Great video! Now, could you make a lab on a secure redundant topology using BGP over VPN IPSEC tunnels?

[@staticroute]

thank you...and yes I'm certainly planning on it, plus there are several ways to achieve that. I will be putting together a lab in the near future on this topic

[@LorenzoLukas-s7z]

Could you clarify why weight is not scalable? Great vid btw!

[@staticroute]

Hey Lorenzo, the big idea with this lab was eBGP, weight doesn't get exported out to eBGP peers, it doesn't even get exported to local peers within the AS because it's locally significant to the router. Unlike LocalPref, which can atleast propagate within the AS. I'm actually going to post a follow up video on BGP soon based on a lot of interest I'm seeing on this topic...I hope I've answered you..?

[@LorenzoLukas-s7z]

@@staticroute You definitely have, thank you - looking forward to that next video!
