Core node setup

The following page explains how to set up a core node.

Core nodes have static addresses configured on their interfaces, and typically reside in data centers or are otherwise centrally located within their networks. See the peer documentation for more information on the distinction between core nodes and edge nodes.

Instructions

1. Create a new node record on the management server with the name dc0.

2. Add an interface to the node with the following configuration:

   • Name: eth0

     • Aliases: public

     • VRF: Global

     • IPv4: 203.0.113.1/24

     • IPv6: 2001:db8:1::1/64

     • Keep on shutdown enabled on both addresses

3. You now have a valid core node configuration ready to accept peer link connections from other nodes.
