Enabling Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing

As a cluster administrator, you can enable Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing support for your cluster on bare-metal infrastructure.

If you are using BGP routing in conjunction with the MetalLB Operator, the necessary BGP routing support is enabled automatically. You do not need to manually enable BGP routing support.
