Naming
convention for BGP objects
To name a discovered BGP object, uses the appropriate naming format in Naming formats for discovered BGP
objects to assign the object a unique
name. It then populates the object’s Name and DisplayName attributes
with that name.
Class | Naming format |
|---|---|
1**This object type is not imported by the Global Manager . | |
AutonomousSystem | Name:AS-<autonomous-system identifier> For example:AS-100 |
DisplayName:<same as Name> | |
BGPService | Name:BGP-SVC-<host device name> For example:BGP-SVC-qa-gw3 |
DisplayName:BGP-SVC-<host device name> [<BGP
identifier> - <AS identifier>] For example:BGP-SVC-qa-gw3 [192.168.101.1 - 100] | |
BGPProtocolEndpoint

interface IP address> For example:BGP-EP-qa-vpls1/172.23.21.2 Stub Name:BGP-EP-<host device name>/<remote
interface IP address> For example:BGP-EP-qa-mplspe3/10.9.254.4 |
DisplayName:BGP-EP-<host
device name>/<remote interface IP address>-> <remote
device name>/<local interface IP address> [<local

identifier] For example:BGP-EP-qa-vpls1/172.22.21.2->qa-vpls2/172.22.21.1
[1097->1097] [Fa1/2] Stub DisplayName:BGP-EP-<host device name>/<remote interface IP address> [<local AS identifier>-><remote AS identifier>] For example:BGP-EP-qa-mplspe3/10.9.254.4 [100->100] | |
BGPSession | Name:BGP-ADJ-<host device name>/<remote interface IP address><--> <remote device name>/<local interface IP address> For example: BGP-ADJ-qa-gw3/10.9.254.4<-->qa-gw4/10.9.254.3 Stub Name:BGP-ADJ-<host device name>-><remote

In an overlapping IP environment, observes the following rule to ensure that it creates the
correct BGP sessions in its modeled topology:
For a BGP endpoint
layered over a tagged IP
that has a tag value of xxx, will create a BGP session to
a neighboring BGP endpoint
if and only if
that endpoint
is also layered over a tagged IP that has a tag value of xxx.The following BGP session confirms the observance
of this rule. The tag value in the name of the BGP session is highlighted
in bold.
BGP-ADJ-qa-vpls4/192.168.98.1/64577:11000<--> qa-vpls2/192.168.8.1/64577:11000[1097<-->1097]
Here are the BGP endpoints for
the BGP session:
BGP-EP-qa-vpls4/192.168.98.1/64577:11000->qa-vpls2/192.168.8.1/64577:11000[1097<-->1097] [Lo0] BGP-EP-qa-vpls2/192.168.8.1/64577:11000->qa-vpls4/192.168.98.1/64577:11000[1097<-->1097] [Lo98]
