Hi there,
We have just jumped on the bandwagon and ordered a couple of CCR1072 to replace our current Cisco router that manages our upstream peers (yay!).
My job, will be to configure these ![]()
I have not configured anything Mikrotik before, and while the basics of it are sound and simple, I cant find too much information on BGP. Specifically, I know what I need to do in the Cisco world, but what is translates to for Mikrotik I am not sure.
For example. Currently we configure route maps and match or set those to configured BGP communities in order to send and recieve the correct routes. EG a route map kind of like below specifies what routes to SEND:
route-map AS1234-OTW-OUT deny 10
match community AS11111-DENY_TRANSIT
!
route-map AS1234-OTW-OUT deny 20
match community AS11111-PEERING_ROUTES
!
route-map AS1234-OTW-OUT deny 30
description Deny routes longer than /24
match ip address prefix-list LONGER-THAN-24
!
route-map AS1234-OTW-OUT permit 60
match community AS11111-Originated_prefixes
And below specifies what routes to recieve:
route-map AS1234-OTW-IN permit 10
description Take default + local routes.
set local-preference 150
set community 11111:3111 additive (this matches to a community to deny readvertising to another peer via a different route map)
My question is is there a straight forward translation for things such as:
- Prefix Lists
- Route Maps (are these Filters?)
- BGP Communities
Would be good to hear from anyone else who has made the Cisco to Mikrotik jump and their experiences and thoughts.
Cheers
