Configures route targets for an EVPN instance.
| bgp | BGP capability. |
| evpn | EVPN protocol. |
| instance | Specifies configuring an EVPN instance |
| evpn_instance_name | Specifies name of the EVPN instance. |
| route-target | Designates setting the route target association. Default is autoderived import and export. |
| import | Selects import route target. |
| export | Selects export route target. |
| both | Specifies import and export route target mode (default). |
| add | Adds a route target. |
| delete | Deletes a route target. |
| route_target | Route target in format <global-admin-value>:<local-admin-value>. |
By default, if you do not specify route target, then the auto-derived values are used.
If you do not specify, import and export route target mode applies
For EBGP applications of EVPN, the auto-derived values will not match between BGP peers since local autonomous system (AS) is used in the derivation, and these differ between EBGP peers.
Note that the route target mode (import, export, or both) is automatically adjusted depending on configuration. For example, if an “import” target exists and you add an “export” target for the same value, the mode is automatically changed to “both”. Similarly, an entry can be deleted by mode. For example, if an entry has mode of “both” and you delete the “import” target of the same value, the entry is not deleted, instead its mode is changed to “export”. An attempt to delete an entry that does not exist (value or mode) produces an error message and no action is taken. For example, if you attempt to delete a route target using “both”, but the configured entry was only configured as “import” an error message appears, and no action is taken.
The following example configures for instance "my_evpn" route target both mode:
# configure bgp evpn instance my_evpn route-target both
