Activate Peer Group on Tenant BGP

Activate BGP peer group under the IPv6 unicast address family of the default VRF.

About this task

Follow this procedure to activate a tenant BGP peer group.

XCO does not activate the BGP peer group when you create a BGP peer group.

Note

Note

  • During upgrade, all the BGP peer groups without an IPv6 listen-range association are deactivated from the IPv6 address-family.
  • An upgrade from XCO 3.2.1 to XCO 3.3.0 and later will refresh all the existing peer groups which are not associated with any IPv6 listen-range.
  • When you upgrade from XCO 3.2.1 to XCO 3.3.0 and later, all the existing peer groups, which are not associated with any IPv6 listen-range, will be refreshed. Within 30 min from the upgrade, an auto DRC gets initiated,and deactivates all such Peer-groups under IPv6 address-family, and moves them back to the in-sync state.
  • Be aware that it takes 15 minutes to get it reflected in device and XCO, and till then XCO reflects it in the drift state. As a best practice, do not perform a manual DRC.

Procedure

Run the following command to activate a BGP peer group: 
efa tenant service bgp peer-group <create/update>

Example

efa tenant service bgp peer-group create --tenant "t1" --name "vs" 
         --pg-name 10.20.246.30:v1 --pg-asn 10.20.246.30,v1:5200
