Running BGP¶

This section explains how to install BGP plugin.

Install BGP feature - odl-bgpcep-bgp. Also, for sake of this sample, it is required to install RESTCONF. In the Karaf console, type command:
```
feature:install odl-restconf odl-bgpcep-bgp
```

The BGP plugin contains a default configuration, which is applied after the feature starts up. One instance of BGP plugin is created (named example-bgp-rib), and its presence can be verified via REST:

        ....
        </loc-rib>
    </rib>
</bgp-rib>
