Replace all placeholder values (ASN, IPs, prefixes) with your actual information provided during session setup. Review and test thoroughly before deploying in production. Below are example configurations for establishing a BGP session with DigitalFyre using common BGP daemons. These examples export your prefixes and import nothing — DigitalFyre announces a default route only and your VPS already has default connectivity. ## Placeholder Values Replace all placeholders below with the actual values provided during your session setup. | Placeholder | Description | | - | - | | `64512` | Your ASN | | `192.168.66.42` | Your server's IPv4 address | | `10.100.42.66` | DigitalFyre BGP neighbor IPv4 | | `192.168.254.0/24` | Your IPv4 prefix | | `bdee:f261:1c43:0486:feb7:b7d1:62e5:22a6` | Your server's IPv6 address | | `2361:f2e9:eae4:6022:d372:f7e0:7a4e:acbe` | DigitalFyre BGP neighbor IPv6 | | `4675:505d:3940::/48` | Your IPv6 prefix | *** ## BIRD For full reference and advanced options, consult the official [BIRD documentation](https://bird.network.cz/?get_doc). **IPv4** ```text title="/etc/bird.conf" theme={"theme":{"light":"light-plus","dark":"ayu-dark"}} router id 192.168.66.42; # Server IPv4 protocol bgp digitalfyre_ipv4 { local as 64512; # Your ASN source address 192.168.66.42; # Server IPv4 ipv4 { import none; export where net ~ [192.168.254.0/24]; # Your IPv4 Prefix }; graceful restart on; multihop 2; neighbor 10.100.42.66 as 64245; # BGP Neighbor IPv4 } ``` **IPv6** ```text title="/etc/bird.conf" theme={"theme":{"light":"light-plus","dark":"ayu-dark"}} router id 192.168.66.42; # Server IPv4 (router ID is always IPv4) protocol bgp digitalfyre_ipv6 { local as 64512; # Your ASN source address bdee:f261:1c43:0486:feb7:b7d1:62e5:22a6; # Server IPv6 ipv6 { import none; export where net ~ [4675:505d:3940::/48]; # Your IPv6 Prefix }; graceful restart on; multihop 2; neighbor 2361:f2e9:eae4:6022:d372:f7e0:7a4e:acbe as 64245; # BGP Neighbor IPv6 } ``` *** ## FRRouting For full reference and advanced options, consult the official [FRRouting documentation](https://docs.frrouting.org/). **IPv4** ```text title="/etc/frr/frr.conf" theme={"theme":{"light":"light-plus","dark":"ayu-dark"}} frr defaults traditional hostname your-hostname ! router bgp 64512 !

If you encounter session issues, verify your configuration locally before contacting support. Common issues include incorrect neighbor addresses, missing RPKI ROAs, and firewall rules blocking TCP port 179.
