Running BGP and PIXs

[hdahlstrom]

We are going to multi-home w/ 2+ connections to different ISPs in different cities.

I've got a lab setup, but am struggling with a design concept.

I have 2 perimeter routers, 2 PIXs, and 2 internal routers that connect the two sites via our private frame-relay network. I know I have to run BGP on the perimeter routers, but I'm struggling with how to get the perimeter routers to talk to each other over our private frame for IBGP.

Note that inside the PIXs, everything is privately addressed.

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to translate the IBGP peer ip's through the firewalls with a static translation on both pixes. Creating the routes depends on what routing protocol you are going to use.
