This command adds Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to a virtual router (vRouter) service on a fabric, cluster, or standalone switch.

Syntax   vrouter-bgp-add

vrouter-name name-string

Specify a name for the vRouter service.

Specify the following BGP arguments:

neighbor ip-address

Specify a neighbor IP address to use for BGP filtering.

l3-port l3port-usable-port name

Specify the L3 port name for the BGP session.

Specify the remote Autonomous System (AS) number. This is a value between 1 and 4294967295.

Specify any of the following BGP options:

next-hop-self|
no-next-hop-self

Specify if the next-hop is the same router or not.

password password-string

Specify a password, if desired.

ebgp-multihop number

Specify a value for external BGP to accept or attempt BGP connections to external peers, not directly connected, on the network. This is a value between 1 and 255.

update-source vrouter loopback-interface ip

Specify the source IP address of BGP packets sent by the router. This parameter is required if you want BGP to perform peering over a loopback interface.

prefix-list-in vrouter prefix-list name

Specify the prefix list to filter traffic inbound.

prefix-list-out vrouter prefix-list name

Specify the prefix list to filter traffic outbound.

route-reflector-client|
no-route-reflector-client

Specify if a route reflector client is used.

override-capability|
no-override-capability

Specify if you want to override capability.

soft-reconfig-inbound|
no-soft-reconfig-inbound

Specify if you want a soft reconfiguration of inbound routes.

max-prefix max-prefix-number

Specify the maximum number of prefixes.

max-prefix-warn-only|
no-max-prefix-warn-only

Specify if you want a warning message when the maximum number of prefixes is exceeded.

bfd|no-bfd

Specify if you want BFD protocol support for fault detection.

bfd-multihop|no-bfd-multihop

Specify if you want to always use BFD multihop port for fault detection.

multi-protocol ipv4-unicast|ipv6-unicast|

Specify a multi-protocol for BGP.

weight none|weight

Specify a default weight value between 0 and 65535 for the neighbor routes.

default-originate|
no-default-originate

Specify if you want to announce default routes to the neighbor or not.

neighbor-keepalive-interval seconds

Specify the BGP keepalive interval in seconds. This is a value between 0 and 65535 seconds.

neighbor-holdtime seconds

Specify the BGP neighbor hold time in seconds. This is a value between 0 and 65535 seconds.

route-map-out vrouter route-map name

Specify the name of the route map for outgoing routes.

allowas-in|no-allowas-in

Specify if you want to reject routes with local AS in AS_PATH. Normally, when you do not set this option, nodes reject routes containing their own AS which helps prevent routing loops. However, in some cases nodes that belong to the same AS have no direct connectivity; for example when you form clusters and choose not to use the cluster link for iBGP communication. In this case the only way to direct routes through connected eBGP neighbors is to set this option so that routes are not rejected from the cluster peer.

interface vrouter interface nic

Specify the interface to reach the neighbor.

advertisement-interval seconds

Specify the minimal time between sending out BGP routing updates. This is a value between 0 and 600 seconds.

The default value is zero (0) seconds.

Defaults   None.
