HOWTO: Configure BGP Peering Between VyOS Edge and GCP¶
The shipped GCP hybrid-WAN path uses eBGP between its VyOS edge and Cloud Router. This HOWTO configures both peers, validates bidirectional prefix exchange, confirms path selection between on-prem and GCP workloads, and captures routing state as structured run records. The routing contract can be applied to additional providers through their corresponding edge implementation.
What this covers:
- eBGP session configuration on VyOS and GCP Cloud Router with matching ASN and peer IP settings
- Bidirectional prefix exchange validation: on-prem prefixes visible in GCP, GCP prefixes visible on VyOS
- Path selection verification and BGP summary run-record capture for the run record
