Synopsis

  • This module provides configuration management of global BGP parameters on devices running Cisco IOS-XR

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

config

dictionary

Specifies the BGP related configuration.

address_family

list / elements=dictionary

redistribute

list / elements=dictionary

Specifies the redistribute information from another routing protocol.

id

string

Identifier for the routing protocol for configuring redistribute information.

Valid for protocols ‘ospf’, ‘eigrp’, ‘isis’ and ‘ospfv3’.

metric

integer

Specifies the metric for redistributed routes.

protocol

string / required

Specifies the protocol for configuring redistribute information.

Choices:

  • "ospf"

  • "ospfv3"

  • "eigrp"

  • "isis"

  • "static"

  • "connected"

  • "lisp"

  • "mobile"

  • "rip"

  • "subscriber"

route_map

string

Specifies the route map reference.

safi

string

Specifies the type of cast for the address family.

Choices:

  • "flowspec"

  • "unicast" ← (default)

  • "multicast"

  • "labeled-unicast"

bgp_as

integer / required

Specifies the BGP Autonomous System (AS) number to configure on the device.

log_neighbor_changes

boolean

Enable/disable logging neighbor up/down and reset reason.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

neighbors

list / elements=dictionary

Specifies BGP neighbor related configurations.

advertisement_interval

integer

Specifies the minimum interval (in seconds) between sending BGP routing updates.

The range is from 0 to 600.

description

string

Neighbor specific description.

ebgp_multihop

integer

Specifies the maximum hop count for EBGP neighbors not on directly connected networks.

The range is from 0 to 255.

enabled

boolean

Administratively shutdown or enable a neighbor.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

neighbor

string / required

Neighbor router address.

password

string

Password to authenticate the BGP peer connection.

remote_as

integer / required

Remote AS of the BGP neighbor to configure.

tcp_mss

integer

Specifies the TCP initial maximum segment size to use.

The range is from 68 to 10000.

timers

dictionary

Specifies BGP neighbor timer related configurations.

holdtime

integer

Interval after not receiving a keepalive message that the software declares a peer dead.

The range is from 3 to 65535.

keepalive

integer

Frequency with which the Cisco IOS-XR software sends keepalive messages to its peer.

The range is from 0 to 65535.

min_neighbor_holdtime

integer

Interval specifying the minimum acceptable hold-time from a BGP neighbor.

The minimum acceptable hold-time must be less than, or equal to, the interval specified in the holdtime argument.

The range is from 3 to 65535.

update_source

string

Source of the routing updates.

router_id

string

Configures the BGP routing process router-id value.

operation

string

Specifies the operation to be performed on the BGP process configured on the device.

In case of merge, the input configuration will be merged with the existing BGP configuration on the device.

In case of replace, if there is a diff between the existing configuration and the input configuration, the existing configuration will be replaced by the input configuration for every option that has the diff.

In case of override, all the existing BGP configuration will be removed from the device and replaced with the input configuration.

In case of delete the existing BGP configuration will be removed from the device.

Choices:

  • "merge" ← (default)
