BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) routing is another method offered for client routing. BGP dynamically retrieves CIDR ranges by exchanging information with routers to understand reachable networks. For an automatic method of routing traffic, you can choose to configure BGP routing in Azure portal.
Microsoft Connected Cache includes Bird BGP which enables the cache node to 1) establish iBGP peering sessions with routers, route servers, or route collectors within operator networks and 2) act as a route collector. The operator will start the iBGP peering session from the Microsoft Connected Cache side using the Azure management portal and then start the session with the Microsoft Connected Cache node from the router.
In the example configuration below:
- The operator ASN is 65100
- The ASN of the Microsoft Connected Cache cache node is 65100 and the IP address is 192.168.8.99
- iBGP peering sessions are established from the portal for ASNs 65100, 65200, and 65300.

To set up and enable BGP routing for your cache node, follow these steps below:
1. Navigate to **Settings** > **Cache nodes**. Select the cache node you wish to provision.
