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 sessionscomputes 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.
