How To Install neutron-bgp-dragent on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install neutron-bgp-dragent on Kali Linux.
What is neutron-bgp-dragent
neutron-bgp-dragent is:
Neutron provides an API to dynamically request and configure virtual networks. These networks connect “interfaces” from other OpenStack services (such as vNICs from Nova VMs). The Neutron API supports extensions to provide advanced network capabilities, including QoS, ACLs, and network monitoring.
Neutron dynamic routing enables advertisement of self-service (private) network prefixes to physical network devices that support dynamic routing protocols such as routers, thus removing the conventional dependency on static routes.
It advertises three classes of routes:
- Host routes for floating IP addresses hosted on non-DVR routers, the nexthop is the centralized router.
- Host routes for floating IP addresses hosted on DVR routers, the nexthop is the appropriate compute node.
- Prefix routes for directly routable tenant networks with address scopes, the nexthop is the centralized router, the same for DVR and CVR.
Neutron dynamic routing consists of service plug-in and agent. The service plug-in implements the Networking service extension and the agent manages dynamic routing protocol peering sessions. The plug-in communicates with the agent through RPC.
This package contains the Dynamic Routing agent.
There are three methods to install neutron-bgp-dragent on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
Install neutron-bgp-dragent Using apt-get
Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.
sudo apt-get updateAfter updating apt database, We can install neutron-bgp-dragent using apt-get by running the following command:
sudo apt-get -y install neutron-bgp-dragentInstall neutron-bgp-dragent Using apt
Update apt database with apt using the following command.
sudo apt updateAfter updating apt database, We can install neutron-bgp-dragent using apt by running the following command:
sudo apt -y install neutron-bgp-dragentInstall neutron-bgp-dragent Using aptitude
If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.
sudo aptitude updateAfter updating apt database, We can install neutron-bgp-dragent using aptitude by running the following command:
sudo aptitude -y install neutron-bgp-dragentHow To Uninstall neutron-bgp-dragent on Kali Linux
