Configure default-originate to Advertise Default Route on BGP Peer

To enable external connectivity, configure the default-originate attribute when you create or update BGP peer (IPv4 and IPv6).

By default, default-originate is disabled.

About this task

Follow this procedure to configure default originate.

Procedure

  1. Run the following command to create a BGP Peer on a tenant VRF: 
    efa tenant service bgp peer create --name <bgp-peer-name> --tenant <tenant-name> 

     --ipv4-uc-nbr <device-ip,vrf-name:neighbor-ip,remote-asn> 
     --ipv4-uc-nbr-bfd <switch-ip,vrf-name:ipv4-neighbor,bfd-enable(t/f),bfd-interval,bfd-rx,bfdmult> 

     --ipv4-uc-nbr-default-originate <device-ip,vrf-name:neighbor-ip,true/false>
     --ipv4-uc-nbr-default-originate-route-map <device-ip,vrf-name:neighbor-ip,route-map>
  2. Run the following command to update a BGP Peer on a tenant VRF: 
    efa tenant service bgp peer update --name <bgp-peer-name> --tenant <tenant-name> 

    --operation peer-add

    --ipv4-uc-nbr <device-ip,vrf-name:neighbor-ip,remote-asn> 
    --ipv4-uc-nbr-bfd <switch-ip,vrf-name:ipv4-neighbor,bfd-enable(t/f),bfd-interval,bfd-rx,bfdmult> 

    --ipv4-uc-nbr-default-originate <device-ip,vrf-name:neighbor-ip,true/false>
    --ipv4-uc-nbr-default-originate-route-map <device-ip,vrf-name:neighbor-ip,route-map>
    Note

    Note

    The ipv4-uc-nbr-default-originate-route-map attribute is an optional attribute.
    Example:
    efa tenant service bgp peer create --name ten1bgppeer1 --tenant tenant11 
     --ipv4-uc-nbr 10.20.246.3,v1:10.20.30.40,50000 
     --ipv4-uc-nbr-bfd 10.20.246.3,v1:10.20.30.40,true 
     --ipv4-uc-nbr-default-originate 10.20.246.3,v1:10.20.30.40,true 
     --ipv4-uc-nbr 10.20.246.4,v1:10.20.30.40,50000 
     --ipv4-uc-nbr-bfd 10.20.246.4,v1:10.20.30.40,true 
     --ipv4-uc-nbr-default-originate 10.20.246.4,v1:10.20.30.40,true 
     --ipv4-uc-nbr-default-originate-route-map 10.20.246.4,v1:10.20.30.40,rmap1
