NSX-T Data Center REST API

Create or update a BGP routing config

If BGP routing config is not already present, create BGP routing config.
If it already exists, replace the BGP routing config with this object.

Request:

Method:

PUT

URI Path(s):

/policy/api/v1/global-infra/tier-0s/<tier-0-id>/locale-services/<locale-service-id>/bgp
/policy/api/v1/infra/tier-0s/<tier-0-id>/locale-services/<locale-service-id>/bgp

Request Headers:

n/a

Query Parameters:

OverrideRequestParameters+

Name	Description	Type	Notes
override	Locally override the global object If true, the global resource can be over written locally. This means that there will be a local only resource in place of the global resource that can reflect local specific settings and values. The global object will continue to exist but will not be used for any configuration until this local object is removed. When the object is overridden the Global resource continues to exist unmodified, while the overridden object is created with all of the user specified values. The Global resource may be updated in the background, however, the overridden object may only be updated by the user. Once the user removes the overridden copy, the Global resource will then resume being used in the configuration.	boolean	Default: "False"

Name	Description	Type	Notes
_create_time	Timestamp of resource creation	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_create_user	ID of the user who created this resource	string	Readonly
_last_modified_time	Timestamp of last modification	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_last_modified_user	ID of the user who last modified this resource	string	Readonly
_links	References related to this resource The server will populate this field when returing the resource. Ignored on PUT and POST.	array of ResourceLink	Readonly
_protection	Indicates protection status of this resource Protection status is one of the following: PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is not allowed to modify it. NOT_PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is allowed to modify it REQUIRE_OVERRIDE - the client who retrieved the entity is a super user and can modify it, but only when providing the request header X-Allow-Overwrite=true. UNKNOWN - the _protection field could not be determined for this entity.	string	Readonly
_revision	Generation of this resource config The _revision property describes the current revision of the resource. To prevent clients from overwriting each other's changes, PUT operations must include the current _revision of the resource, which clients should obtain by issuing a GET operation. If the _revision provided in a PUT request is missing or stale, the operation will be rejected.	int

_self	Link to this resource	SelfResourceLink	Readonly
_system_owned	Indicates system owned resource	boolean	Readonly

description	Description of this resource	string	Maximum length: 1024 Sortable
display_name	Identifier to use when displaying entity in logs or GUI Defaults to ID if not set	string	Maximum length: 255 Sortable
ecmp	Flag to enable ECMP Flag to enable ECMP.	boolean
enabled	Flag to enable BGP configuration Flag to enable BGP configuration. Disabling will stop feature and BGP peering.	boolean
graceful_restart	Flag to enable graceful restart Flag to enable graceful restart. This field is deprecated, please use graceful_restart_config parameter for graceful restart configuration. If both parameters are set and consistent with each other (i.e. graceful_restart=false and graceful_restart_mode=HELPER_ONLY OR graceful_restart=true and graceful_restart_mode=GR_AND_HELPER) then this is allowed, but if inconsistent with each other then this is not allowed and validation error will be thrown.	boolean	Deprecated
graceful_restart_config	BGP Graceful Restart Configuration Configuration field to hold BGP Restart mode and timer.	BgpGracefulRestartConfig
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
inter_sr_ibgp	Enable inter SR IBGP configuration Flag to enable inter SR IBGP configuration. When not specified, inter SR IBGP is automatically enabled if Tier-0 is created in ACTIVE_ACTIVE ha_mode.	boolean
local_as_num	BGP AS number in ASPLAIN/ASDOT Format Specify BGP AS number for Tier-0 to advertize to BGP peers. AS number can be specified in ASPLAIN (e.g., "65546") or ASDOT (e.g., "1.10") format. Empty string disables BGP feature. It is required by normal tier0 but not required in vrf tier0.	string
marked_for_delete	Indicates whether the intent object is marked for deletion Intent objects are not directly deleted from the system when a delete is invoked on them. They are marked for deletion and only when all the realized entities for that intent object gets deleted, the intent object is deleted. Objects that are marked for deletion are not returned in GET call. One can use the search API to get these objects.	boolean	Readonly Default: "False"
multipath_relax	Flag to enable BGP multipath relax option Flag to enable BGP multipath relax option.	boolean
overridden	Indicates whether this object is the overridden intent object Global intent objects cannot be modified by the user. However, certain global intent objects can be overridden locally by use of this property. In such cases, the overridden local values take precedence over the globally defined values for the properties.	boolean	Readonly Default: "False"
parent_path	Path of its parent Path of its parent	string	Readonly
path	Absolute path of this object Absolute path of this object	string	Readonly
realization_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for realizing intent This is a UUID generated by the system for realizing the entity object. In most cases this should be same as 'unique_id' of the entity. However, in some cases this can be different because of entities have migrated thier unique identifier to NSX Policy intent objects later in the timeline and did not use unique_id for realization. Realization id is helpful for users to debug data path to correlate the configuration with corresponding intent.	string	Readonly
relative_path	Relative path of this object Path relative from its parent	string	Readonly
resource_type	Must be set to the value BgpRoutingConfig	string
route_aggregations	List of routes to be aggregated List of routes to be aggregated.	array of RouteAggregationEntry	Maximum items: 1000
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30
unique_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system This is a UUID generated by the GM/LM to uniquely identify entites in a federated environment. For entities that are stretched across multiple sites, the same ID will be used on all the stretched sites.	string	Readonly

Example Request:

PUT https://<policy-mgr>/policy/api/v1/infra/tier-0s/vmc_prv/locale-services/default/bgp { "local_as_num": "123", "route_aggregation": [ { "prefix": "10.1.1.0/24" }, { "prefix": "11.1.0.0/16", "summary_only": "false" } ], "_revision": 0 }
