Parameters

Enable/Disable Ignores the cost community for BGP best-path calculations. Choices:
|
|
Enable/Disable enforcement of bestpath to do a MED comparison only between paths originated within a confederation. Choices:
|
|
Enable/Disable assigns the value of infinity to received routes that do not carry the MED attribute, making these routes the least desirable. Choices:
|

|
|
Enable/Disable the batching evaluation of prefix advertisements to all peers with prefix list. |
|
Enable/Disable the batching evaluation of prefix advertisements to all peers with prefix list. |
|
Enable/Disable enforces the neighbor autonomous system to be the first AS number listed in the AS path attribute for eBGP. On NX-OS, this property is only supported in the global BGP context. Choices:

|
Enable/Disable cli event history buffer. Choices:
|
|
Enable/Disable detail event history buffer. Choices:
|
|
Enable/Disable event history buffer. Choices:
|
|
Enable/Disable periodic event history buffer. Choices:
|
|
Enable/Disable immediately reset the session if the link to a directly connected BGP peer goes down. Only supported in the global BGP context. Choices:
|
|
Enable/Disable flush routes in RIB upon controlled restart. On NX-OS, this property is only supported in the global BGP context. Choices:
|
|
Enable/Disable graceful restart. Choices:
|
|
Enable/Disable graceful restart helper mode. Choices:
|
|
Set maximum time for a restart sent to the BGP peer. |
|
Set maximum time that BGP keeps the stale routes from the restarting BGP peer. |
|
Enable/Disable isolate this router from BGP perspective. Choices:
|
|
Local AS number to be used within a VRF instance. |
|
Enable/Disable message logging for neighbor up/down event. Choices:
|
|
Specify Maximum number of AS numbers allowed in the AS-path attribute. Valid values are between 1 and 512. |

|
Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If authorize is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable |
|
Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable Choices:
|
|
Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport. |
|
Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This is a common argument used for either cli or nxapi transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable |
|
Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. This value applies to either cli or nxapi. The port value will default to the appropriate transport common port if none is provided in the task. (cli=22, http=80, https=443). |
|
Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for the cli transport. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable |
|
Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error. NX-API can be slow to return on long-running commands (sh mac, sh bgp, etc). |
|
Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. The transport argument supports connectivity to the device over cli (ssh) or nxapi. Choices:
|
|
If Choices:
|
|
Configures the transport to use SSL if set to Choices:
|
|
Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate either the CLI login or the nxapi authentication depending on which transport is used. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable |
|
If Choices:
|
|
The BGP reconnection interval for dropped sessions. Valid values are between 1 and 60. |
|
Router Identifier (ID) of the BGP router VRF instance. |
|
Administratively shutdown the BGP protocol. Choices:
|
|
Determines whether the config should be present or not on the device. Choices:
|
|
Enable/Disable advertise only routes programmed in hardware to peers. Choices:
|
|
Specify timeout for the first best path after a restart, in seconds. |
|
Set BGP hold timer. |
|
Set BGP keepalive timer. |
|
Name of the VRF. The name ‘default’ is a valid VRF representing the global BGP. Default: |
