I believe you'll find that all of this gets a lot easier if you try to understand how layer 3 routing itself works instead of asking sparodic questions one at a time. I recommend picking up a layer 3 routing book for the platform of your choice and going through the basics. On 7/19/2014 午後 04:43, Abuse Contact wrote:
Hi, Yeah, I need to turn on and off overtime, but I'm getting my own ASN very soon so that shouldn't be a problem soon! :) but how would I go about turning off a location at a certain time?
Thanks!

Wow -- be careful playing with public eBGP sessions unless you know what you're doing. It can affect the entire Internet.
Since you're just connecting to a single upstream ISP, you wont qualify for a public AS number. So, you'll have to work with your upstream ISP to agree on a private AS number you can use. You will be setting up an eBGP session (which is a session between two different AS numbers, as opposed to iBGP, wherein the AS numbers are the same).
As for running BGP on a dedicated server, it'll depend on the OS in use. Assuming Linux, take a look at Quagga, BIRD, and ExaBGP. http://www.nongnu.org/quagga/ http://bird.network.cz/ https://code.google.com/p/exabgp/
It may be a *lot* easier for you to just have your upstream ISP announce your IP space, and route it to your dedicated server, unless you need the ability to turn it off and on over time.

Hi, So I just purchased a Dedicated server from this one company and I have a /24 IPv4 block that I bought from a company on WebHostingTalk, but I am clueless on how to setup the /24 IPv4 block using the BGP Session. I want to set it up to run through their network as if it was one of their IPs, etc. I keep seeing things like iBGP (which I think means like a inner routing BGP) and eBGP (what I'm talking about??) but I have no idea how to set those up or which one I would need.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
