+# Route Server
+
+This page explains how to set up GoBGP as a route server.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Assumed that you finished [Getting Started](https://github.com/osrg/gobgp/blob/master/docs/sources/getting-started.md).
+
+## Configuration
+
+This example uses the following simple configuration file, `gobgpd.conf`. There are three changes from
+the configuration file used in [Getting Started](https://github.com/osrg/gobgp/blob/master/docs/sources/getting-started.md)
+
+ * Peers are configured as route server clients (of course!).
+ * GoBGP oesn't try to connect to peers. It only listens and accepts.
+ * MD5 passwords are enabled.
+
+```
+$ cat gobgpd.conf
+[Global]
+ As = 64512
+ RouterId = "192.168.255.1"
+[[NeighborList]]
+ NeighborAddress = "10.0.255.1"
+ PeerAs = 65001
+ AuthPassword = "hoge1"
+ [NeighborList.RouteServer]
+ RouteServerClient = true
+ [NeighborList.TransportOptions]
+ PassiveMode = true
+[[NeighborList]]
+ NeighborAddress = "10.0.255.2"
+ PeerAs = 65002
+ AuthPassword = "hoge2"
+ [NeighborList.RouteServer]
+ RouteServerClient = true
+ [NeighborList.TransportOptions]
+ PassiveMode = true
+```
+
+Starting GoBGP
+==============
+Let's start gobgpd:
+
+```
+$ sudo -E gobgpd -f gobgpd.conf
+{"level":"info","msg":"Peer 10.0.255.1 is added","time":"2015-04-06T22:55:57+09:00"}
+{"level":"info","msg":"Peer 10.0.255.2 is added","time":"2015-04-06T22:55:57+09:00"}
+```
+
+GoBGP implements multiple RIBs, that is, each peer has own local
+RIB. Let's check respectively.
+
+```
+$ gobgp show neighbor 10.0.255.1 local
+ Network Next Hop AS_PATH Age Attrs
+*> 10.3.0.0/24 10.0.255.2 [65002] 00:05:50 [{Origin: 0} {Med: 0}]
+*> 192.168.2.0/24 10.0.255.2 [65002] 00:05:50 [{Origin: 0} {Med: 0}]
+```
+
+```
+$ gobgp show neighbor 10.0.255.2 local
+ Network Next Hop AS_PATH Age Attrs
+*> 10.3.0.0/16 10.0.255.1 [65001] 00:06:12 [{Origin: 0} {Med: 0}]
+*> 10.3.0.1/32 10.0.255.1 [65001] 00:06:12 [{Origin: 0} {Med: 0}]
+```
+
+Of course, you can also look at the adjacent rib-in and rib-out of each peer as done in [Getting Started](https://github.com/osrg/gobgp/blob/master/docs/sources/getting-started.md).
