Dynamic Routing for Virtual Devices

Note - In Security Groups in Maestro and Scalable Chassis: The term VSX Gateway means a Security Group in the VSX mode. Some VSX features have a limited or no support. Virtual Routers are not supported (Known Limitation 01413513).

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 VSX Cluster Member.

Important: You must configure all static routes only in SmartConsole in the applicable Virtual Device object. In a Cluster, you must configure all the Cluster Members in the same way.

To configure dynamic routing for a Virtual Device:

1. Connect to the command line on the VSX Gateway / each VSX Cluster Member.

2. Log in to Gaia Clish.

   On Scalable Platforms (ElasticXL, Maestro, and Chassis), you must run the applicable commands in Gaia gClish of the applicable Security Group.

3. Change the context to the Virtual Device:

   set virtual-system <VSID>

4. Run the applicable commands to configure the dynamic routing daemon for the Virtual Device.

   For dynamic routing syntax, see the R82 Gaia Advanced Routing Administration Guide.

5. Save the changes:

   save config
