About this task
You can configure backup routing
neighbors with additional attributes, such as bidirectional forwarding detection,
route-maps and prefix-lists.By default, backup routing neighbor is configured with
remote-as and next-hop-self. You can provide md5-password as a fabric setting which
is applied on the neighbors.
Note
You can modify the MD5 password for the backup routing neighbors only by
configuring and re-configuring the fabric.
Procedure
-
To create backup routing
neighbors when you create a BGP peer, run the following command:
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 <device-ip,vrf-name:neighbor-ip,true|false> --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>
-
To create backup routing
neighbors when you update a BGP peer, run the following command:
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 <device-ip,vrf-name:neighbor-ip,true|false> --ipv4-uc-nbr-default-originate <device-ip,vrf-name:neighbor-ip,true/false>
-
To remove the backup routing
neighbors association with BGP service when you delete a BGP peer, run the
following command:
efa tenant service bgp peer delete --name <bgp-peer-name> --tenant <tenant-name>
