How many BGP peers are supported X670-48x?

I wonder how many BGP peers can I connect to the switch? I have a BGP session to datacenter provider who gives as the default gateway for IPv4 and IPv6 via 2 separate BGP sessions. I have a whole bunch of loadbalancers (>30 machines) which I want to connect to the switch via BGP Each one needs to establish 2 sessions for IPv4 and IPv6 (restriction of BIRD).

How many BGP sessions are safe for this switch? I'm currently using OSPF for this purpose but I'd like to give BGP a try for some reasons.

Kajetan,

What version of EXOS are you using? The supported limits can be found in each of the release notes PDFs.

Hi,

as per the Limits section in the RN, it's up to 128 BGP Peers with default timers.

Hi Kajetan,

I belive they don't have any limitation about amount BGP Peer, but so, about amount routes received and installed at RIB.
However i advice you about using Peer Group, is more simple and easier to configured also administration.
