BGP Configuration

Fluid uses BGP to advertise Cluster LoadBalancers to external networks. For instance, you may wish to deploy an ingress controller or UDP service within a Fluid Kubernetes Cluster and may require access via the internet or your own internal network.

In the Fluid Console, ensure the Environment dropdown in the top right hand corner of the interface is showing the cluster you wish to configure.

Select the “Network” dropdown and the “BGP Peers” menu option. This will take you into the BGP Peers table.

Add a BGP Peer

To add a peer, select the ‘Add BGP Peer’ button above the table and fill out the fields accordingly. Fluid allows multiple BGP speakers to run on a router by supporting multiple ports. Simply enter 179 if you’re not sure for the BGP port.
