BGP Profile

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard, and the most scalable of all routing protocols. BGP is the routing protocol of the global Internet, as well as for service provider private networks. BGP enables the VPN gateways and your BGP neighbors to exchange routes that inform the gateways on both sides of the connectoin of the availability of the gateways or routers involved.

We strongly recommend creating and adding a BGP profile to your gateway if you are establishing a site-to-site VPN tunnel connection to another platform or device. Deploying with a BGP profile depoys a gateway that uses dynamic routing with BGP between your networks and cloud service providers.
