Configure Out-of-band for a Tenant BGP Peer or Peer Group

You can create out-of-band (OOB) BGP peer group and BGP static or dynamic peer for the use in XCO. Provide the exact BGP peer group or BGP peer configuration in XCO. The configuration enables XCO to manage the BGP peer group and BGP peer created by OOB.

About this task

Follow this procedure to configure out-of-band BGP peer or peer group for a tenant.

Procedure

  1. On both devices, run the show running-config router bgp command to configure OOB.
  2. Run the following command for XCO consumption of OOB BGP Peer Group: 
    (efa:root)root@node-2:~# efa tenant service bgp peer-group create --name ten1bgppg1 --tenant ten1 
    --pg-name 10.20.246.15:pg1 
    --pg-asn 10.20.246.15,pg1:65001  
    --pg-name 10.20.246.16:pg1 
    --pg-asn 10.20.246.16,pg1:65001
    --pg-ipv6-uc-nbr-activate <device-ip,pg-name:true/false>

Error :  conflicting peer group: [10.20.246.15,pg1:,65001,false,,] and [10.20.246.15,pg1:,65002,false,,] which is not created by Tenant service

(efa:root)root@node-2:~# efa tenant service bgp peer-group create --name ten1bgppg1 --tenant ten1 
    --pg-name 10.20.246.15:pg1 
    --pg-asn 10.20.246.15,pg1:65002  
    --pg-name 10.20.246.16:pg1 
    --pg-asn 10.20.246.16,pg1:65001
    --pg-ipv6-uc-nbr-activate <device-ip,pg-name:true/false>

Error :  conflicting peer group: [10.20.246.16,pg1:,65001,false,,] and [10.20.246.16,pg1:,65002,false,,] which is not created by Tenant service
