Recent disruptions to two undersea internet cables in the Baltic Sea have yet again...
3.2.1.1 Add Router
IRP communicates improvements to your edge routers.
The Add Router wizard guides you through the router configuration with the following steps:
→ Identify the router and its AS
→ Set up the Router IP address for the BGP session
→ Define BGP announcement attributes to distinguish and prioritize IRP improvements on this router
Check below the corresponding wizard steps:
- Router name assigned within IRP for easy identification
- Autonomous System number of the network (bgpd.peer.X.as)
- Router General parameters (IPv4)
- IRP’s IPv4 address (bgpd.peer.X.master_our_ip)
- Router IPv4 address (bgpd.peer.X.master_peer_ip)
- Announced Improvement LocalPref value (bgpd.peer.X.master_localpref)
- Router General parameters (IPv6)
- IRP’s IPv6 address (bgpd.peer.X.master_our_ipv6)
- Router IPv6 address (bgpd.peer.X.master_peer_ipv6)
- Announced Improvement LocalPref value (bgpd.peer.X.master_localpref)

- Transit SNMP hosts (bgpd.peer.X.transit.snmp)
- Transiting traffic (bgpd.peer.X.transit.status)
- Announced inbound localpref value (bgpd.peer.X.inbound.master_localpref) (bgpd.peer.X.inbound.slave_localpref)
