What is Hops for Hope?
Triangle Hops for Hope is a fundraising event that pairs corporate teams with local breweries to create an original beer and raise money for charity. Teams showcase their creations to hundreds of attendees at an epic beer competition on September 22, 2018 at the Raleigh Beer Garden. It’s the perfect opportunity to mix corporate social responsibility, employee engagement, and support local craft breweries.
All proceeds benefit Children’s Flight of Hope, a 501(c)(3) organization that provides air transportation for children to access specialized medical care. Last year’s event raised more than $70,000 for CFOH!

In this post, I’m going to explain how to establish a BGP peering session between Juniper QFX Series Switches and VMware NSX Edge Service Gateway. VMware NSX provides many features and services, one of which is dynamic routing via the use of an ESG. Typically, ESGs are placed at the edge of your virtual infrastructure to act as a gateway. There are two primary deployment options, stateful HA or non-stateful ECMP. In this example, we’re looking at the ECMP deployment option.
We have a pair of Juniper QFX5110 switches that we will configure to enable EBGP peering with each NSX Edge Gateway. We also have a pair of NSX Edge Gateway devices that are placed at the edge of a virtualized infrastructure. Each QFX has a /31 point-to-point network to each ESG. These networks are enabled via 802.1q subinterfaces which provide connectivity across the underlying blade chassis interconnect modules.
We’ll start by configuring BGP on our NSX Edge Gateways.
Via global settings for ESG1, we need to set a Router ID. The router ID is used to identify from where a packet is received.
