Backup Routing
- XCO automates the backup routing
configuration among the MCT nodes by configuring IPv4 or IPv6 IBGP neighborship
between the MCT nodes.
- When the local ASN for a VRF (used in
an endpoint group) is updated using the local-asn-add operation, the remote-asn of
the backup routing IPv4 or IPv6 IBGP neighbors also gets updated.
- When the remote ASN of an existing
backup routing BGP neighbor is updated, the corresponding BGP session is reset using
the clear ip bgp neighbor
<neighbor-ip> vrf <tenant-vrf-name> command, which lead to
traffic disruption till the session is up.
- When the local ASN for a VRF (used in
an endpoint group) is deleted using local-asn-delete operation, the remote-asn of
the backup routing IPv4 or IPv6 IBGP neighbors also gets updated to the local-asn
configured at the global router bgp level followed by the backup routing bgp session
reset.
Ensure that the BGP neighbors update their remote ASN based on the updated local ASN.
