Re: [44net] Vultr bgp setup

When I established service in Chicago, it worked perfectly immediately. When I set up the same service in Sydney, it did not. They quickly found a misconfigured route filter was to blame. Actually it turned out it was working, but only inside Australia and with some Australia based carriers. Go figure. My point is, if you followed the procedure in Vultr’s excellent documentation (https://www.vultr.com/docs/configuring-bgp-on-vultr) and it is not working, the problem is likely on their side. My suggestion is to open a support ticket. They have done the same thing before for thousands of customers. They will get you going quickly. I am reluctant to share my configuration here, not because it is a particular secret. But rather, I do not want parts of my configuration to leak in to other folks installations. BGP routing is a service Vultr offers. You are a customer of Vultr. Vultr has a very good help desk. Use it. They have done the very same thing for others, thousands of times. We (IRLP) are thinking about moving some of our remaining network services to Vultr in Dallas and Seattle. We found their single CPU, “High Frequency” VPS to be just awesome. — Dave K9DC
