BGP peering with Service provider using X460G2

[naicoram01]

Hello everybody,

I’m working on a project to peer BGP with 2 Service Provider, and it’s my first time using Extreme networks; my question is :

Is the Extreme Networks X460-G2 enough to be used ONLY for the BGP peering(2 peer : iBGP and eBGP) ?

If yes, what about the capacity of the box receiving the Full Internet Table or receiving just the default route from the Service Provider ?

Thank you so much guys in advance for your support and help.

Best regards,

Naico

Should be fine to run 2 BGP instances : )

Hello Jordan,

Thank you for reply.

Yes exactly, we already have the licence Core.

My question is related espacially for the capacity of the box to handle 2 peer BGP(internal and external).

Based on your response I can read indirectly “Yes” 🙂

Pretty sure the X460-g2s need the additional licensing to use BGP protocol. License needed is Core feature.
You can check what current license is applied to switch by issuing the command: show license
