Dynamic Routing for Virtual Devices

This section presents procedures for configuring dynamic routing for Virtual Systems and Virtual Routers. The Virtual Devices can use dynamic routing protocols to communicate and distribute routes amongst themselves and with external routers and other devices. VSX uses the Gaia routing daemon (routed).

You can configure dynamic routing for each of these Virtual Devices:

Virtual System
Virtual Router

Each of these Virtual Devices has its own dynamic routing instance and configuration file. Use the same procedures to configure the dynamic routing protocols for Warp Links as regular interfaces. You can also configure dynamic routing separately on each cluster member.

Important - You cannot use the CLI to configure static routes for VSX. You can only configure them in SmartConsole.

For more about configuring dynamic routing, see the R80.10 Gaia Advanced Routing Administration Guide.

To configure dynamic routing for a Virtual Device:

Set the context to the Virtual Device. From the Gaia CLI, run set virtual-system <vsid>
Run the commands to configure the dynamic routing daemon for the Virtual Device.

Note - When you run a dynamic routing command, use the TAB key to show the interfaces that you can enable.
