Dependencies

salt.modules.napalm_bgp.config(group=None, neighbor=None, **kwargs)

Provides the BGP configuration on the device.

Parameters
  • group -- Name of the group selected to display the configuration.

  • neighbor -- IP Address of the neighbor to display the configuration. If the group parameter is not specified, the neighbor setting will be ignored.

Returns

A dictionary containing the BGP configuration from the network device. The keys of the main dictionary are the group names.

Each group has the following properties:

  • type (string)

  • description (string)

  • apply_groups (string list)

  • multihop_ttl (int)

  • multipath (True/False)

  • local_address (string)

  • local_as (int)

  • remote_as (int)

  • import_policy (string)

  • export_policy (string)

  • remove_private_as (True/False)

  • prefix_limit (dictionary)

  • neighbors (dictionary)

Each neighbor in the dictionary of neighbors provides:

  • description (string)

  • import_policy (string)

  • export_policy (string)

  • local_address (string)

  • local_as (int)

  • remote_as (int)

  • authentication_key (string)

  • prefix_limit (dictionary)

  • route_reflector_client (True/False)

  • nhs (True/False)

CLI Example:

salt '*' bgp.config # entire BGP config
salt '*' bgp.config PEERS-GROUP-NAME # provides detail only about BGP group PEERS-GROUP-NAME
salt '*' bgp.config PEERS-GROUP-NAME 172.17.17.1 # provides details only about BGP neighbor 172.17.17.1,
# configured in the group PEERS-GROUP-NAME
