Managing and visualizing topologies using BGP-LS
In this recipe, we will review the topologies that were configured in the first recipe and provide details of the kind of information they store.
Getting ready
The first recipe is a prerequisite for this recipe. It is assumed that the BGP Peer and RIB are configured as described before.
Start the OpenDaylight distribution using the karaf script and install the features mentioned in the first recipe. We will be using the BGP RESTful API to view the different topologies managed by BGP-LS implementation.
How to do it...
The three main topologies that we configured earlier are as follows. It is imperative that these are well understood to be able to manage routes for each of the topologies:
