Deploy Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) with the RRAS Multitenant Gateway

Border Gateway Protocol reduces the need for manual route configuration on routers because it is a dynamic routing protocol, and automatically learns routes between sites that are connected by using site-to-site VPN connections. In Windows Server 2012 R2, the RRAS Multitenant Gateway supports BGP, and allows you to provide dynamic routing for your tenants who are using routers that also support BGP.

The BGP overview topic, at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn614183.aspx, provides information on BGP features as well as the BGP supported deployment topologies, including the following:

  • RRAS VPN Site-to-Site Gateway with BGP at Enterprise site edge
  • Third party Gateway with BGP at Enterprise site edge
  • Multiple Enterprise sites with third party gateways
  • Separate termination points for BGP and VPN
