Routereflector with multiple nics

[clyang82]

I would like to setup an environment with routereflector as below:

output of calicoctl node status

IPv4 BGP status
+--------------+-----------+-------+----------+-------------+
| PEER ADDRESS | PEER TYPE | STATE |  SINCE   |    INFO     |
+--------------+-----------+-------+----------+-------------+
| 9.111.255.81 | global    | up    | 05:21:23 | Established |
+--------------+-----------+-------+----------+-------------+

the network is not ready in prod and test groups, because cannot connect with 9.111.255.81.

My questions are

1. Is it possible to specify the PEER ADDRESS as hostname?
2. Can I specify the IP with multiple ip addressed or support IPS?

Thanks.

What you are requesting I do not think is possible with this routereflector. It sounds like you are trying to have one route reflector work for 3 different clusters which this was not designed to do. I believe to do what you want you will need to setup your own route reflector, using Bird, GoBGP or whatever BGP server you want and configure it to listen on each of those different addresses. It sounds like you are trying to do the next level up BGP server that this routereflector was intended to connect to.

@tmjd Thanks for your information. Can you point me some references to setup?

I do not have any specific references, you would need to read the Bird or GoBGP documentation and understand how to configure those.
