Configure Send-Community on Tenant BGP Peer

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

About this task

Follow this procedure to configure send-community on tenant BGP peer.

Procedure

  1. Run the following command to configure send-community when you create a BGP peer: 
    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-send-community <device-ip,vrf-name:neighbor-ip,
           all|both|extended|large|standard|large-and-standard|large-and-extended>
    --ipv6-uc-nbr-send-community <device-ip,vrf-name:neighbor-ip,
           all|both|extended|large|standard|large-and-standard|large-and-extended>
  2. Run the following command to configure send-community when you update a BGP peer: 
    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-send-community <device-ip,vrf-name:neighbor-ip,
           all|both|extended|large|standard|large-and-standard|large-and-extended>
                --ipv6-uc-nbr-send-community <device-ip,vrf-name:neighbor-ip, 
           all|both|extended|large|standard|large-and-standard|large-and-extended>
    Note

    Note

    ipv4-uc-nbr-send-community and ipv6-uc-nbr-send-community are an optional attributes.

    The following example configures send-community when you create or update a BGP peer:

    efa tenant service bgp peer create --name ten1bgppeer1 --tenant ten1 
    --ipv4-uc-nbr 10.20.246.15,ten1vrf1:10.20.30.40,50000 
    --ipv4-uc-nbr-bfd 10.20.246.15,ten1vrf1:10.20.30.40,true 
    --ipv4-uc-nbr-send-community 10.20.246.15,ten1vrf1:10.20.30.40,all 
    --ipv4-uc-nbr 10.20.246.16,ten1vrf1:10.20.30.40,50000 
    --ipv4-uc-nbr-bfd 10.20.246.16,ten1vrf1:10.20.30.40,true 
    --ipv4-uc-nbr-send-community 10.20.246.16,ten1vrf1:10.20.30.40,both 

efa tenant service bgp peer update --name ten1bgppeer1 --tenant ten1 
    --operation peer-add 
    --ipv4-uc-nbr 10.20.246.15,ten1vrf1:10.20.30.50,50000 
    --ipv4-uc-nbr-bfd 10.20.246.15,ten1vrf1:10.20.30.50,true 
    --ipv4-uc-nbr-send-community 10.20.246.15,ten1vrf1:10.20.30.50,standard
    --ipv4-uc-nbr 10.20.246.16,ten1vrf1:10.20.30.50,50000 
    --ipv4-uc-nbr-bfd 10.20.246.16,ten1vrf1:10.20.30.50,true 
    --ipv4-uc-nbr-send-community 10.20.246.16,ten1vrf1:10.20.30.50,extended
