Welcome
Over time, I will gather some info about the setup and configuration that goes into putting AS209616 on the Internet. For now here’s a picture of what the current setup looks like. I’ll add a more detailed description later.
The interesting bits:
- I got a good friend to sponsor my RIPE resources and got an ASN and a /48 PI IPv6 prefix
- My prefix is announced from a VPS at Vultr and from an older Jetway IPC that lives at my local hackerspace
- The two “border routers” are connected over a Wireguard tunnel, and my home router connects to each of those over simple sit/6in4. Together they form a full BGP mesh
- Everything is IPv6 inside the AS. I use Link-Local addresses on the tunnel endpoins and put each router’s public address on a loopback interface
- Internal routes are exchanged with OSPFv3. This way each router learns about the other routers’ public addresses which in turn is used for IBGP peerings.
- External routing info is distributed over IBGP.
- Full tables are passed around to all routers. Mostly because I can :)
- The Unifi Security Gateway on my home network took a bit of mingling and a lot of editing of config.gateway.json on my Cloud Key to get things to work. This caused a number of provision-reboot-provision loops that required a hard-reset and re-adoption to fix. The router is humming along at ~50% memory consumption with two full IPv6 tables being fed to it.
Stay tuned!
