Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
conn_retry_time string		ConnectRetry interval. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 65535.
connect_mode string		The value can be Connect-only, Listen-only, or Both.
conventional string	Choices: no_use ← true false	If the value is true, the router has all extended capabilities. If the value is false, the router does not have all extended capabilities.
description string		Description of a peer, which can be letters or digits. The value is a string of 1 to 80 characters.
dual_as string	Choices: no_use ← true false	If the value is true, the EBGP peer can use either a fake AS number or the actual AS number. If the value is false, the EBGP peer can only use a fake AS number.
ebgp_max_hop string		Maximum number of hops in an indirect EBGP connection. The value is an ranging from 1 to 255.
fake_as string		Fake AS number that is specified for a local peer. The value is a string of 1 to 11 characters.
hold_time string		Specify the Hold time of a peer or peer group. The value is 0 or an integer ranging from 3 to 65535.
is_bfd_block string	Choices: no_use ← true false	If the value is true, peers are enabled to inherit the BFD function from the peer group. If the value is false, peers are disabled to inherit the BFD function from the peer group.
is_bfd_enable string	Choices: no_use ← true false	If the value is true, BFD is enabled. If the value is false, BFD is disabled.
is_ignore string	Choices: no_use ← true false	If the value is true, the session with a specified peer is torn down and all related routing entries are cleared. If the value is false, the session with a specified peer is retained.
is_log_change string	Choices: no_use ← true false	If the value is true, BGP is enabled to record peer session status and event information. If the value is false, BGP is disabled from recording peer session status and event information.
is_single_hop string	Choices: no_use ← true false	If the value is true, the system is enabled to preferentially use the single-hop mode for BFD session setup between IBGP peers. If the value is false, the system is disabled from preferentially using the single-hop mode for BFD session setup between IBGP peers.
keep_alive_time string		Specify the Keepalive time of a peer or peer group. The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 21845. The default value is 60.
key_chain_name string		Specify the Keychain authentication name used when BGP peers establish a TCP connection. The value is a string of 1 to 47 case-insensitive characters.
local_if_name string		Name of a source interface that sends BGP packets. The value is a string of 1 to 63 characters.
min_hold_time string		Specify the Min hold time of a peer or peer group.
mpls_local_ifnet_disable string	Choices: no_use ← true false	If the value is true, peer create MPLS Local IFNET disable. If the value is false, peer create MPLS Local IFNET enable.
multiplier string		Specify the detection multiplier. The default value is 3. The value is an integer ranging from 3 to 50.
peer_addr string / required		Connection address of a peer, which can be an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
prepend_fake_as string	Choices: no_use ← true false	Add the Fake AS number to received Update packets.
prepend_global_as string	Choices: no_use ← true false	Add the global AS number to the Update packets to be advertised.
pswd_cipher_text string		The character string in a password identifies the contents of the password, spaces not supported. The value is a string of 1 to 255 characters.
pswd_type string	Choices: null cipher simple	Enable BGP peers to establish a TCP connection and perform the Message Digest 5 (MD5) authentication for BGP messages.
remote_as string / required		AS number of a peer. The value is a string of 1 to 11 characters.
route_refresh string	Choices: no_use ← true false	If the value is true, BGP is enabled to advertise REFRESH packets. If the value is false, the route refresh function is enabled.
rx_interval string		Specify the minimum interval at which BFD packets are received. The value is an integer ranging from 50 to 1000, in milliseconds.
state string	Choices: present ← absent	Specify desired state of the resource.
tcp_MSS string		Maximum TCP MSS value used for TCP connection establishment for a peer. The value is an integer ranging from 176 to 4096.
tx_interval string		Specify the minimum interval at which BFD packets are sent. The value is an integer ranging from 50 to 1000, in milliseconds.
valid_ttl_hops string		Enable GTSM on a peer or peer group. The valid-TTL-Value parameter is used to specify the number of TTL hops to be detected. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 255.
vrf_name string / required		Name of a BGP instance. The name is a case-sensitive string of characters. The BGP instance can be used only after the corresponding VPN instance is created.

Notes

Note

• This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.

• Recommended connection is netconf.

• This module also works with local connections for legacy playbooks.
