Configuring and retrieving BGP information

This recipe will guide you through the manual configuration of the OpenDaylight controller XML files to connect with a router using PCEP. Both the router and OpenDaylight need to be configured. Once the connection is established, the controller can receive route information from the router, which can be retrieved using the RESTCONF.

Getting ready

The ingredients of this recipe require a router and the OpenDaylight controller with the BGP-PCEP implementation. You could also use the Quagga router. To use BGP-PCEP, the OpenDaylight controller can be configured manually or using RESTCONF.
