Dynamic routing

1. Go to your VK Cloud personal account.

2. Go to Cloud networks → Routers.

3. Click the name of the router you need.

4. Go to the Dynamic Routing tab.

5. Click the Add a BGP router button.

6. Specify the name of the BGP router. You can use only numbers, Latin letters, space and symbols: ? ! ~ @ # $ % ^ " & _ - + * = ; : , . / \ | ` [ ] { } ( ) < >.

7. Specify an IP address for the BGP router — the router interface directed to the transit network. Use the highest IP address on the loopback or physical interface.

8. Enter an ASN from the range 64512–65534.

9. (Optional) Disable the BGP router if you do not need to establish a connection at this time. The BGP router will become inactive.

10. (Optional) Add a description for the BGP router.

11. Click the Create button.

1. Go to your VK Cloud personal account.

2. Go to Cloud networks → Routers.

3. Click the name of the router you need.

4. Go to the Dynamic Routing tab.

5. Start editing the dynamic router in one of the following ways:

   • Click the name of the BGP router, then click the Edit button.
   • Expand the BGP router menu and select Edit.

6. You can do the following:

   • Edit the router name.
   • Edit the router description.
   • Enable the ECMP option. The router will create multiple routes to the same destination. When transferring data, if one of the routes is unavailable, another will be automatically selected. This allows for increased throughput and fault tolerance.
   • Enable the Graceful restart option. After the peer is restarted, the BGP router will retain its state and continue transmitting data.
   • Enable the Long lived graceful restart option. The BGP router will maintain its state for a longer time in the event of a BGP peer failure.
   • Disable the BGP router if you do not need to establish communication at the moment. The BGP router will become inactive.

9. Specify the interface directed to the transit network of the neighboring BGP router.

10. Specify the ASN of the remote network. If the network does not have an ASN defined, use private ASNs from the range 64512–65534.
