[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Add-BgpPeer cmdlet adds a new peer to the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP router). This cmdlet returns error information if errors occur while adding the peer configuration.
Examples
Example 1: Add a BGP peer to the BGP router and establish a session
PS C:\>Add-BgpPeer -Name "RedTenantSite1" -LocalIPAddress 192.168.1.10 -PeerIPAddress 14.1.1.10 -PeerASN 64512 -PassThru
PeerName LocalIPAddress PeerIPAddress PeerASN OperationMode ConnectivityStatus
-------- -------------- ------------- ------- ------------- ------------------
RedTenantSite1 192.168.1.10 14.1.1.10 64512 Mixed ConnectingThis command adds a BGP peer to the BGP router and automatically starts establishing BGP peering session with that neighbor.
Example 2: Add a BGP peer to a BGP router that will listen for incoming connections
PS C:\>Add-BgpPeer -Name "RedTenantSite1" -LocalIPAddress 192.168.1.10 -PeerIPAddress 14.1.1.10 -PeerASN 64512 -OperationMode Server -PeeringMode Manual -PassThru
PeerName LocalIPAddress PeerIPAddress PeerASN OperationMode ConnectivityStatus
-------- -------------- ------------- ------- ------------- ------------------
RedTenantSite1 192.168.1.10 14.1.1.10 64512 Server StoppedThis command adds a new BGP Peer to the BGP router which will listen for incoming connections from neighbor. PeeringMode is set to Manual, so unless this peering is started manually, the incoming connections requests will be dropped.
Example 3: Add a BGP peer to a BGP router of a specified routing domain
PS C:\>Add-BgpPeer -RoutingDomain Rd_001 -Name BlueTenant1 -LocalIPAddress 14.1.1.10 -PeerIPAddress 192.168.1.2 -PeerASN 64513 -PassThru
PeerName LocalIPAddress PeerIPAddress PeerASN OperationMode ConnectivityStatus
-------- -------------- ------------- ------- ------------- ------------------
BlueTenant1 14.1.1.10 192.168.1.2 64513 Mixed ConnectingThis command adds a new BGP Peer to the BGP Router of the specified routing domain in Multi-tenant environment and automatically starts establishing BGP peering session.
Example 4: Add a Route Reflector client BGP peer to a BGP router
PS C:\>Add-BgpPeer -Name RRClient1 -LocalIPAddress 14.1.1.10 -PeerIPAddress 192.168.1.2 -PeerASN 64513 -PassThru -RouteReflectorClient $true
PeerName LocalIPAddress PeerIPAddress PeerASN OperationMode ConnectivityStatus
-------- -------------- ------------- ------- ------------- ------------------
RRClient1 14.1.1.10 192.168.1.2 64513 Mixed ConnectedThis command adds a new Route Reflector client BGP Peer to the BGP Router and automatically starts establishing BGP peering session.
