BGP support

works with
VMware Smart Assurance Network Protocol Manager for BGP
to perform MPLS-BGP cross-domain correlation. The correlation associates MPLS L3VPNs with their underlying BGP sessions, which enables
to identify and report BGP failures or misconfigurations that impact the L3VPNs.
When MPLS-BGP cross-domain correlation is enabled,
discovers BGP topology and subscribes to status updates in
. It imports BGP-enabled devices from
IP Availability Manager
and queries the devices to discover the following BGP topology:
  • Autonomous systems
  • BGP services
  • BGP protocol endpoints
  • BGP sessions
    computes an “UnderlyingVPN” relationship between the discovered BGP sessions and the discovered L3VPNs, and uses the relationship to generate VPN-impacted events for failed, misconfigured, or manually disabled BGP sessions.
    By default,
    is not enabled to perform MPLS-BGP cross-domain correlation. The
    provides instructions for enabling this feature.
