BGP configuration with NETCONF overview
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an exterior gateway protocol that can do inter-domain and
intra-domain routing. It peers to other BGP-speaking systems over TCP to exchange network
reachability and routing information.
Refer to the Network OS Administrator’s Guide for information on BGP and for the following related
information:
• BGP Peering
• BGP Attributes
• Best-Path Algorithm
• Device ID
• Neighbor configuration
• Configuration fundamentals and optimization.
Through the NETCONF interface, you can perform the following operations that affect the
functioning of BGP:
• Use the RPC to activate, configure, or deactivate BGP for an RBridge.
• Use the RPC to add, delete, or edit IPV4 address-family specific configurations.
• Use the RPC to verify all or part of the BGP configuration.
BGP parameters are defined in the brocade-bgp YANG module. For information about the
brocade-bgp YANG module, refer to the Network OS YANG Reference Manual.
Configuring BGP
Configuring BGP can be divided into three separate phases:
• “Enabling BGP on an RBridge” on page 558
• “Configuring BGP global mode” on page 559
• “Configuring IPv4 unicast address family” on page 560
