Cisco SD-WAN BGP Configuration

Lesson Contents

Cisco SD-WAN routers use OMP for routing information on the overlay network. Within a site, sometimes you need an IGP like OSPF or perhaps BGP.

This lesson will explain how to configure BGP between a Cisco IOS device and a Cisco SD-WAN vEdge router. We’ll use feature and device templates to accomplish this.

Configuration

Here is the topology we’ll use:

Nothing fancy. We only have our vEdge1 router and SW1. I pre-configured SW1 with BGP. I’m using Cisco SD-WAN version 19.3.0.

Let’s configure the vEdge1 router.

Feature Template: BGP

Go to Configuration > Templates > Feature and click on Add Template:

Specify a name:

Scroll down to NEIGHBOR and click on New Neighbor:

Fill in the Address and click on Add:

Our neighbor now shows up in the overview:

All the other settings are OK. Scroll down and click on Save.

Device Template

Go to Configuration > Templates > Device and edit the device template, which is attached to vEdge1:

Scroll down to Service VPN and select BGP under the Additional VPN Templates:

VPN 10 & VPN 20 are configured as services VPN.
Configured OSPF inside the VPN 10 for network 10.1.1.0/24
Configured BGP inside the VPN 20 for network 10.11.1.0/24

Redistributed BGP to OMP & OMP to BFP

I can see an outside router in the VPN 10 show IP route vpn 10 but I can’t see any outside router in VPN 20 show IP route vpn 20

Attaching the configuration file here

vEdge-DELHI-2# show ip routes vpn 10

Yes,

But i can see VPN20 Routes to vSmart from Dilhi Edge Router
