This section provides practical examples of integrating OpenPERouter with various BGP-speaking components commonly used in Kubernetes environments.
Overview #
OpenPERouter behaves exactly like a physical Provider Edge (PE) router, enabling seamless integration with any BGP-speaking component. This router-like behavior ensures that integration is straightforward and follows standard BGP peering practices.
Prerequisites #
All examples in this section assume you have:
- OpenPERouter installed and configured (see Installation)
- A container lab based development environment with the relevant VPN endpoints configured
- Basic understanding of BGP and the VPN of your choice (currently EVPN only) concepts
Development Environment #
The examples require a container lab based environment that provides:
- Leaf switches with BGP peering capabilities
- A Kubernetes cluster for testing OpenPERouter integration
Available Examples #
EVPN Examples #
For comprehensive EVPN integration examples, including detailed configurations and step-by-step guides, see the dedicated EVPN examples section:
