You're going to have an interesting time running BGP on a wrap board.
IIRC, the last time I used a WRAP platform they maxed out at 266Mhz
CPU and 128MB of RAM. A full BGP feed won't fit into 128M of ram, and
a 266Mhz proc is going to have a hard time keeping up with the BGP
Scanner process every time there's a table update.
If it were me, I wouldn't try to run BGP on that device. All that
being said, Vyatta will *probably* run on the WRAP platform, but I
haven't tried it. I have successfully run other Linux variants on
WRAP boards, so the support is there if its enabled in the Vyatta
kernel. You'll have to install it by hand though, as I don't think
you can boot a wrap board over a usb cdrom drive.
I'm sure someone from Vyatta will chime in here soon with a more
definitive answer.
Good luck!

Hello,
I’m a complete newbie to Vyatta so I have a few questions. I’m
currently running a similar firewall based on OpenBSD. My reason
for switching is that our current system doesn’t support BGP. Aside
from that, I was wondering if there are any instructions or if it
is even possible to install Vyatta on a WRAP platform. We would
like to make the change without new hardware if possible. I
appreciate any advice.
Thanks in advance,
Ryan MacDonald
